"THE GREAT TALES": THE ILIAD, PART 2

Father Andrew Stephen Damick, known from podcasts like The Lord of Spirits with Father Stephen De Young (link), and talks on his YouTube channel (link), has a new podcast. He is running it with filologist Richard Rohlin, well known from his association with Jonathan Pageau on The Symbolic World (link). Both men are Eastern Orthodox Christians. The new blog, called The Great Tales is about "myth, legend, and story telling of history, meaning, identity, and the highest truths about both the seen and unseen world. Both ancient Israel and the Christian Church recorded, preserved, rewrote, commented on, and found edification in the great, epic tales." Father Andrew Stephen Damick and Richard Rohlin read parts the great tales together. The podcast goes live every first and every third Thursdays of the month on Ancient Faith Radio (link) and on The Great Tales YouTube channel (link).
