HILF: History I'd Like to F**k

HILF 111 - The Odyssey, Part Two with Sam Cowan

Episode Summary

It is the thrilling conclusion of The Odyssey, of one of the oldest - and sexiest - stories ever told.

Episode Notes

The journey isn't over, it's only just reached the underworld.  Rejoin Dawn and guest Sam Cowan as they link arms to follow Odysseus all the way home.  Whether you're preparing for Christopher Nolan's upcoming blockbuster movie, revisiting an old favorite, or experiencing The Odyssey for the first time, this episode explores why Odysseus' long road home remains one of the most thrilling—and profoundly human—stories ever told.
