I have been looking for a guide to the great books for quite some time and believe this to be the answer. They go slowly enough for these classics to be digestible and fit into anyone’s schedule. If you have a desire to finally read the foundational works of Western Civilization, tune in!
I honestly have tried to read Homer already a couple of times. Made it about 80% through the Odyssey in High School, and then about 50-60% through the Iliad a few years ago.

I’m working my way through Homer’s Iliad and am finding this podcast to be a great resource. I have had the Iliad on my TBD list for a long time but always found excuses to read other books on my bookcase. I’ve been following along with podcast and it’s been very motivational. Thank you for putting this podcast out there.
Very very good for first time reader of Homer.
If you have never read The Great Books this podcast is for you. Even if you HAVS read The Great Books before this podcast is still for you!
