Listen Later

TV historian Prof. Michael Scott narrates this final episode of our 'Elements' theme, which takes us to another river, this time in Troy, where death and destruction rage furiously. The River was written by Holly Smith and was awarded third place in the 'Open' category. 

Michael is a Professor in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick and was the winner of the 2021 Classical Association prize. Follow him here @profmcscott.

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.
