The Library of Allenxandria | Ancient Greece 1.2 | The Iliad and Greek Identity @TheLibraryofAllenxandria | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
In this video, we discuss how the Iliad, the story of the Trojan War, and Achilles affected how the Greeks of 5th Century BC thought of themselves. We also look at the ritual vs. relationship nature of Greek religion and how the gods were indeed not a moral code to be emulated.
