"Before, sleep felt like coming alive. Before, in dream, he walked among heroes"...
Heather Chapman's solemn, atmospheric tale of war brings us towards the end of our audiobook - but fear not, there are still a few stories still remaining. This episode was narrated by Dr Alex McAuley, Honorary Secretary of the Classical Association.
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.
