zeus ended the war in seconds

Dive into the brutal and divine world of Books 5 through 8 of Homer’s The Iliad. From the unstoppable fire of Diomedes on the battlefield to Zeus finally asserting absolute control over the gods, we explore how fate begins to crush individual bravery.


Each host brings a unique visual style to their chapter, ranging from dark pencil sketches and God of War-inspired illustrations to Romanticism and even modern memes.


  • Book 5: Diomedes’ "Day of Glory" and the moment a mortal makes a goddess bleed

  • Book 6: The "original jersey swap" and Hector’s heart-wrenching final goodbye to his family.

  • Book 7: The epic duel between Hector and Ajax that ends in a surprising show of mutual respect.

  • Book 8: Zeus lays down the law, forbids divine interference, and tips the scales of fate against the Greeks.


  • Join us as we break down the "meat and potatoes" of these chapters, discuss our favorite characters, and analyze how Homer balances the horrors of war with moments of deep humanity.
