The Bicameral Mind in the Iliad | Iliad Book 20

44 min•12 december 2025

In this episode of WINNOW we discuss the Theory of the Bicameral Mind and how it potentially applies to the characters of the Iliad. It may explain why these greek warriors act without thinking and blame everything on the gods. And Owen surprises Bella with some really insightful Greek that adds a lot of color to the text.

Listen to Book 21 of the Iliad to be prepared for next week's episode on YouTube.
