Rodney Merrill speaks about his translation of the Iliad.
--------
13:53
Iliad Book 24
Achilles keeps dragging Hektor; angered, Zeus says he must give up the body; with Hermes’ aid Priam goes to ransom it; they meet, Achilles restrains the battle, and Hektor is buried.

1:06:55
Iliad Book 23
In sleep, Achilles sees Patróklos; he mourns; the winds light the pyre. He holds funeral games: chariot-race, boxing, wrestling, foot-race, spear-fight, hurling a lump, archery, and spear-throw.

1:14:20
Iliad Book 22
His parents beg Hektor to come into the city; Hektor refuses and Achilles chases him; Athena deceives Hektor into stopping; Achilles strikes him, rejects his dying plea, and drags him by his ankles; the women wail.

42:37
Iliad Book 21
Achilles kills many men in the river, who begs him to stop; refused, he attacks and chases him; Hera sends Hephaistos to quell the river; the gods oppose each other; the Trojans go into the city.
