In this story, inspired by Homer and Sophocles, Benjamin Howell introduces us to Diomedes and Odysseus who are en route to visit an old acquaintance - his name is Philoctetes... The Fox Who Charmed The Snake was narrated by the University of Edinburgh's Professor Douglas Cairns, Chair of the Classical Association Council and a Fellow of the British Academy.
