In this episode, Gregory Nagy and Keith Stone respond to comments and questions from the community about the relationships between:

* poetry and prose,
* Homeric and Hesiodic traditions,
* justice and vegetal images

In particular they discuss an Attic red-figure column-krater (c. 450 BCE) that features Apollo, Artemis, and a sacred palm tree.

Image: (from left to right) Artemis holding an oinochoe; Apollo holding a laurel branch and a phiale, about to pour a libation on the altar left; the personification of the Delos island on which the scene takes place (see the palm-tree). Attic red-figure column-krater, c. 450 BCE, National Archaeological Museum of Spain.
