Troy and Therapon

At Hour 25 we've had some great discussions on the first four books of the Iliad, live video chats with Professors Frame and Nagy and a really rambling discussion on "Apollo vs. Achilles".

This is a quiz for member of our community to test how much they learned this week and an example to you of what sort of stuff we cover in case you are interested in joining.
