    In this episode, I explore the phenomenon of "The Sea People". Who were they, where did they come from, where did they end up and why did they travel across the Mediterranean at the end of the Bronze Age? Also, more musings on ancient language and communication.  Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!) //uppbeat.io/t/little-planet/voyager

    Episode 1 - Why is the sea ”Wine-Dark”?

    In this episode, I introduce myself as the host and give some context to my life and what this podcast is about. The subject of the podcast's title "Journe's Across the Wine-Dark Sea" is then discussed. Could the sea really have been the colour of wine?
