I guess it isn't that obvious but, all the action is taking place on a Greek pot. The top and bottom decorations are what are called "registers" on which the action painted on a pot takes place. Pottery is about the only narrative visual art we have from Greece. Some pots are like early animations, as the pot was turned in the viewer's hands, a narrative takes place; or, at least, aspects are reviled. It was sort of like the "cartoon" stories embedded in Egyptian hieroglyphic texts which inspired Greek pottery painters. The only figures that were developed enough to use and animate come from the Classical Greek era maybe 500 - 325 B.C. (Homer lived (if he actually existed) around 800 - 900 B.C)).

At the time the Greeks laid siege to Troy; the Greeks didn't decorate their pottery with figures; it was a pottery era called "proto-geometric" with lines scratched into it. At around Homer's time stick figures were being painted on pots with the bottom registers performing as the ground. Like in Egyptian art there was no background.

The relative volume of the music to the narration... my mistake, I guess. All I can say is turn your speaker or headset volume higher... it might be your equipment too.
