A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the figure of Priam, the legendary last king of Troy. They examine how the Iliad portrays him as a tragic father and wise ruler, and then delve into Hittite texts and archaeological evidence from Hisarlik to see if a historical Priam might have existed. They discuss the possible connection to a historical figure named Piyamaradu, a rebel against Hittite authority in western Anatolia, and how the epic tradition may have merged different memories. The episode also covers Priam's many children, the death of Hector, the ransom of Hector's body, and the fall of Troy as described by Virgil and other sources. Listeners will learn about the Bronze Age palace economy, the role of the king in Mycenaean and Hittite society, and how the myth of Priam reflects both real political structures and storytelling conventions.
