Liv Reads Quintus Smyrnaeus: The Fall of...

Liv Albert
About this episode

Liv reads the rest of Book 10 and Book 11 of the Fall of Troy, translated by AS Way. Paris is injured and the only woman who can save him is the wife he abandoned for Helen. Things aren't looking good for the Trojans, but Aeneas is pretty cool. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!

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! For a list of Roman/Latin names and who they were in the Greek, visit: mythsbaby.com/names
