Introduction to the podcast and The Iliad

Here I introduce the premise of the podcast as a whole, and what to expect. Season 1 of the show covers The Iliad by Homer. In this episode, I  discuss the necessary background information needed to begin the story proper. Included is a brief description of the various players, their origins and the role of gods in mortal affairs. New episodes drop on Thursdays. The next episode discusses the first 3 chapters/books from the Iliad. The translation I'm using is by Sam Butler, available for free at Project Gutenberg.
