Vicious Cycles Episode 8: The Never-Ending Boss Fight

The focus for this episode is the ImpossibleQuest that Commodus is calling “The Never-Ending Boss Fight”. So, we’ll be examining some stories of undefeatable warriors and epic duels. We'll start with a hero who has a centuries-long redemption arc – and along the way, he becomes immortal not just once but multiple times. Then we'll learn the story of a green knight who likes really weird party games, and we'll run through the series of duels that leads up to the end of the Trojan War.
