    Bonus Episode-Interview with Kym Deyn

    Following on from Episode 9, exploring the gods and men of Greek Myth, in this bonus episode I interview poet Kym Deyn about their poetry collection Dionysia, "two pieces of not-quite history: the death of Alexander the Great and Odysseus’ adventures during the Trojan war. Two men for whom the truth is as fluid as water, and they are trapped inside the stories told about them." I also review the second installment in Claire North's The Songs of Penelope Trilogy: House of Odysseus and a beautiful narrative poem about Ariadne and the Minotaur, Bull Poppy Star.

    Episode Nine-Titans, Gods and Men

    In this episode we do something a bit different where I talk about the Titans, Gods and mortal men I actually like in Greek Myth and have time for, who did truly heroic things for others that wasn’t all about destruction and ego.

    Episode Eight-The Warrior Women

    This month we meet the women who swung swords and kicked ass. Artemis, goddess of the hunt, her adventuring votress Atalanta who joins the crew of the Argo and the Queen of the Amazons who almost brings down Achilles, Penthesilea.

    Episode Seven-The Sorceresses

    In this episode we meet the witches, enchantresses and all round magical women of Greek Mythology. Unpacking Hekate, Circe, Medea, the Sirens and the Bacchae, we explore why these powerful women were ostracised and condemned for using their natural gifts to protect themselves. Includes an extract from my Ariadne and Dionysus audio drama Wild and poetry by Claire Tedstone. Content warning: references to child murder.
