Episode description
It's espionage in the Ancient World! It's chapter 10 of The Iliad wherein we see the Greeks and the Trojans use subterfuge to gain a military edge. How did ancient armies use spies? What happened when they were captured? Did they drink Martinis like James Bond?
Join Sean Marlon Newcombe as he talks about this aspect of ancient warrior life with Homeric scholar Dr. Gary Stickel.
