The Aftermath: The Trojan War Horse

The Alarmist
About this episode

New Guest Expert! On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with Dr. Armand D’Angour of Jesus College Oxford. Host of the podcast It’s All Greek and Latin To Me and a professor of the classics, Armand is expertly equipped to walk us through the many colorful characters in this infamous ancient telling of the fall of Troy. Not to mention the scandalous quote he ends the interview with! Afterward, Patreon subscribers can join Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early for the post-interview breakdown. Are we possibly throwing a God in Jail?!
