It's the final episode today of our four part Sunday series on the Odyssey and its cultural afterlife. As Dr Daisy Dunn tells Kevlochin about the extent to which we can map the ancient Greek epoch Onto the real world. Around twenty eight hundred years ago, a poet, or perhaps many poets. Set down a story that had been travelling by word of mouth for centuries.

Told of a king trying to get home from a war. It should have taken them weeks. Instead. It took ten years. The king was Odysseus.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is 1 credit.
