This captivating audiobook features award-winning adaptations of classic Greek myths by Simon Armitage and Linda Marshall Griffiths, revitalizing age-old tales of gods, heroes, and destiny. Notable stories include Armitage's "Missing Presumed Dead: The Odyssey," which intertwines modern political intrigue with Homer's epic, and two linked dramas on the tragic romance of Orpheus and Eurydice. Enhanced by strong performances and music by PJ Harvey, these reimaginings breathe new life into timeless narratives while offering a bonus discussion with Armitage on his works.
