    S1 E6: For a Swarm of Bees

    Bees are often linked to prophesy in Greek mythology. But when a swarm of wild bees settles in her garden, Bibi turns to Virgil’s Georgics and, surprisingly, another descent to Hades.   Extracts are from Book 4 of Virgil’s ‘Georgics’ translated by H. R. Fairclough; from Book 10 of Pausanias’, ‘Description of Greece’, translated by WHS Jones and from the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, translated by H. G. Evelyn-White. All translations are in the public domain.   The title of this episode, ‘For a Swarm of Bees’, comes from an Anglo-Saxon metrical charm used to magically prevent bees from swarming!   The original violin compositions in this episode are by Chloe Dunn. Sound and production by Geoff Chong.   Listen to our retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth: https://bit.ly/44kYzCd
