How to trick a god | Iliad Book 14

In this week’s episode we cover Book 14 of Homer’s Iliad. This book focuses mainly on ox-eyed Hera, enacting her plan to seduce Zeus and distract him from the war. With Zeus distracted from the war, maybe the Greeks will have an opportunity to beat the Trojans back from their ships. We discuss the significance of Hera's actions and how love is portrayed in the Iliad.
