In this lecture, we consider (a) differing mythological accounts of Achilleus' near vulnerability and Homer's alteration of mythology; (b) Achilleus' stint on Skyros pretending to be a daughter of King Lykomedes, and (c) how the cunning Odysseus tricked Achilleus into revealing himself. Additionally, we consider what uncertainty underlies the myth of Achilleus and how that relates to all people. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
