About this episode

Dawn Brodey discusses the oral tradition and history of The Odyssey with guest Sam Cowan.

Before it was Chris Nolan's latest blockbuster, The Odyssey was an epic poem... and before it was an epic poem - it was oral, baby! Join Dawn for a bard's eye view of one of the oldest - and sexiest - stories ever told.
