2.8 The Trojan War, And The Bronze Age Collapse

Good Gods, this one took some work. But, good things take work, and this story is Awesome. This is (mostly) the story of the Trojan War, which actually has a lot more to it than the giant wooden horse. there's romance, violence, horrors beyond our modern comprehension, and a lot of dubious involvement of Olympian gods. It's a pretty excellent story, which i tried to make as easily consumable as i could for you, dear listener.

Then there's the relatively hazy story of the Bronze Age Collapse, which is also quite interesting. If it's relatable, it's in a different way than the story of Troy.

All and all, it's about two and a half hours long... So:

Part One: The Absurdly Complex, But Entertaining Backstory, starts at: 7:40

Part Two: Kidnapping Royalty Is A Bad Idea, starts at: 33:55

Part Three: The Trojan War, starts at: 53:17

Part Four: The Only Fate Is Tragedy, starts at: 1:19:24

Part Five: Only A Fool Fights Fair, starts at: 1:42:26

Part Six: The Bronze Age Collapse, starts at: 2:01;50

Yes, it's a long one, but it's a good one, and the season finale of the bronze age. Hope you like it!

With Love,

Wilson King
