Ancient Greek Myths... REVISED
Manage episode 324145793 series 2750129
The Time has come... to tell the other side of the myth... the one where Medea isn't so bad... but Penelope is.
What if Pandora didn’t have a box? And it wasn’t even filled with evils? What if Helen of Troy (nay Sparta) wasn’t really the face that launched a thousand ships?
Perhaps it’s time to look at the Greek myths a bit more carefully... and see what versions we are choosing to reiterate... and why?
Featuring NATALIE HAYNES, author of six books, including A Thousand Ships, which was a national bestseller and shortlisted for the 2020 Women’s Prize for Fiction.
Comedian and ardent proponent of making the classics accessible, Natalie has written and recorded seven series of Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics for the BBC. She has written for The Times, The Independent, The Guardian, and The Observer. Natalie join us from London.
