Continuing from the last episode, we cover the 2nd half of Iliad book 9. Having already heard from Odysseus and Achilles, we hear from a new character: Phoenix. He delivers the longest speech in the entire poem, detailing 3 paradeigmatic stories on why Achilles should return to battle. Achilles replies, and lastly we hear from straight-talking Ajax. Achilles position is beginning to look a bit unreasonable by the end of the book, which closes with very little accomplished on the embassies part. Lastly, I dive into the key changes that occur within Achilles to close out this amazing chapter!
