Caelan Landers' eerie and dramatic reimagining of a pivotal moment in this archetypal tragic character's life was inspired by our 'Heroes' theme in the 'Senior' category. Oedipus Again was narrated by James Renshaw, the Classical Association's Ancient History lead and the host of the Ancient World Breakfast Club. Follow James @jajrenshaw.

EPIC: Modern Writers, Ancient Stories is a compilation of short stories written by entrants in the 2022 Classical Association Creative Writing Competition, inspired by Stephen Fry's trilogy Mythos, Heroes and Troy.

For the next six weeks, we will be releasing a brand-new story influenced by the ancient world every day, read by a different narrator - make sure you hit 'follow' or 'subscribe' to ensure you don't miss a single story. The full e-book will be released later this year.
