The Odyssey XIX-XXI on Core Curriculum

Odysseus and Eurycleia in an illustration by john Flaxman

With the arrival of the penultimate episode of this season of Core Curriculum, both we and Odysseus are in the homestretch.

In this episode, covering books 19-21 of the Odyssey, Victoria Reynolds Farmer hosts Christina Bieber Lake and me in a discussion of Odysseus’s scouting trip into his own house, the light shed by Athena, the varying relationships of characters like Odysseus, Penelope, and the slave nurse Eurycleia, whether Odysseus enjoys his disguises too much, and a lot more. This was a really enjoyable episode to record and I hope y’all will enjoy listening.

You can listen to Core Curriculum on iTunes, Stitcher, and other fine podcasting platforms. You can look at this episode’s shownotes on the Christian Humanist Radio Network’s site here. Be sure to subscribe to the show so you can catch up on previous episodes of Core Curriculum and won’t miss future episodes. There’s only one more on the Odyssey to go!

Thanks for listening!
