How to avoid the Sirens, and six scary bullies? Louis Nicol, who wrote Looking for Ulysses aged 8 and 3/4, was commended in the Junior Category for this gripping story! It was narrated by Arlene Holmes-Henderson, who is an Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient History and the CA Outreach Officer. A former school teacher, she often tweets about exciting things happening to do with Classics - follow her @DrArleneHH. 

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.
