Following on from Episode 9, exploring the gods and men of Greek Myth, in this bonus episode I interview poet Kym Deyn about their poetry collection Dionysia, "two pieces of not-quite history: the death of Alexander the Great and Odysseus’ adventures during the Trojan war. Two men for whom the truth is as fluid as water, and they are trapped inside the stories told about them." I also review the second installment in Claire North's The Songs of Penelope Trilogy: House of Odysseus and a beautiful narrative poem about Ariadne and the Minotaur, Bull Poppy Star.
