Actually Homer did have a hero cult dedicated to him in Alexandria. But they venerated him for his artistic merit rather than as a true prophet, so you're still right about Il/Od not being sacred texts

Are there any literary-focused podcasts?

If the hosts are likable, that's definitely a bonus.

Iliad
>Mopey Achilles
>A million names
>That book/chapter that's just a list of more names and places
>Which Ajax is which?
> No Trojan Horse

Odyssey
>Nuanced protagonist
>Mythical creatures and mystery
>Underworld Scene
>Intricate plot spanning time and place
>Hero's Journey

and yet, /lit/, why is it that I liked the Iliad more?
