Liv Reads Homer: The Odyssey Book V
Listen now
Description
Liv reads Book 5 of the Odyssey, translated into prose by Samuel Butler. This is not a standard episode, it's simply a reading of the Odyssey. For regular episodes look for any that don't have "Liv Read..." in the title! This translation uses the Roman names for gods and heroes. Here's a list Greek to Roman names to help you out: Zeus = Jove/Jupiter Hera = Juno Athena = Minerva/Pallas Minerva Ares = Mars Aphrodite = Venus (Cyprian goddess); also sometimes her mother is Dione Poseidon = Neptune Hades = Pluto Hermes = Mercury Kronos = Saturn Artemis = Diana Leto = Latona Hephaestus = Vulcan Odysseus = Ulysses (I think he's the only mortal with a name change, the Romans were weird) Heracles = Hercules (Not Latin, but Achaeans/Danaans = Greeks, Argives = from Argos, Ilius = Troy, Dardanian = ally of Troy, Alexandrus = Paris) Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
