BONUS: The Choral Ode’s of Euripides’ He...

Liv Albert
About this episode

Just a quick reading of the first two choral odes from Euripides' Helen, translated by EP Coleridge. They're very good and don't fit in with the full narrative episode.

This is not a standard narrative story episode, it's a reading of an ancient source, audiobook style. For regular episodes look for any that don't have "Liv Reads..." in the title!
