HeroesX v15 Office Hours 03 | Sappho's Song and Aromatic Words

Discussion topics include: a consideration of the role of Achilles to the verbal epic, relationship between mortals, heroes and gods, and the significance of Sappho to a reading of Iliad. Professor Nagy also explored the notion of 'exported' or borrowed words from different cultures such as "therapōn." As Professor Nagy points out, translations of such words often carry a certain 'aroma' or fragrance of meaning that are resonant from one culture to another. Other plot lines examined included the relationship between Achilles and Patroklos. Recorded in Spring 2021 during v15 of the MOOC, The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours, focusing on Hours 5 and 6, and the Discussion Questions. With Gregory Nagy, Keith DeStone, and members of the HeroesX Team.
