Inspired by a line in Book 12 of Homer's Iliad, Susanna Phillippo's story about grief and storytelling was commended in the Open Category and it was vividly brought to life in this narration by Professor James Robson. Susanna is herself a Senior Lecturer in Classics at Newcastle University and you can read her profile here. EPIC: Modern Writers, Ancient Stories is a compilation of short stories written by entrants in the 2022 Classical Association Creative Writing Competition, inspired by Stephen Fry's trilogy Mythos, Heroes and Troy.
