Today's story takes us to the skies as junior entrant Eva McTurk was commended for her story, Manatimer and the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, inspired by the theme 'Myth'. It was narrated by Dr Arlene Holmes-Henderson, an Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient History at Durham University and the Classical Association Outreach Officer. Follow Arlene @drarlenehh.
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.
For the next six weeks, we will be releasing a brand-new story influenced by the ancient world every day, read by a different narrator - make sure you hit 'follow' or 'subscribe' to ensure you don't miss a single story. The full e-book will be released later this year.
