Discussion of the significance of a single Muse in the beginning of the Iliad, and a multiplicity of the Muses in Book 2. Why does Phoenix not invoke the Muses when narrating the story of Meleager? The timelessness of the epic.

Recorded in Spring 2020 during v13 of the MOOC The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours, focusing on Hours 1 and 2, and responses to the Discussion Questions.
With Gregory Nagy, Keith DeStone, and members of the HeroesX Team.
