Hello and welcome to Montana Classical College! Today we will be discussing Book Seven of Homer’s Iliad.

We will focus on two things:

1)    Nestor, who comes to sight not as a stodgy old blustering traditionalist, but as a man a great of great prudence who is able to make the necessary thing seem like the pious thing.

2)   The duel between between Hector and Ajax which reveals something about the relative strength of both sides.
