Classical Studies 101 - In Praise of the Goddess - Athena

Originally recorded for our sister 34 Circe podcast channel focused on the stories, history and mythology of women, we're adding this series here because it's relevant to our study of The Iliad. The series is called "In Praise of the Goddess" and this episode concerns Athena. Join us as our guest, archaeologist and Homeric scholar Dr. Gary Stickel, tells us the story of one of the most famous goddesses in any pantheon, Athena! Goddess of wisdom and defensive war, and matron of the great city of Athens, Greece. Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden host.
