Listen Later

In this story, inspired by Homer and Sophocles, Benjamin Howell introduces us to Diomedes and Odysseus who are en route to visit an old acquaintance - his name is Philoctetes...

The Fox Who Charmed The Snake was narrated by the University of Edinburgh's Professor Douglas Cairns, Chair of the Classical Association Council and a Fellow of the British Academy.

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 MythosHeroes and Troy.
