How We Tell Stories: Epic Poems and Mythology

In this episode, we explore the epic poems, The Aeneid, The Shanameh and The Odyssey, and their relevance today. Delve into the narrative of these epics as we investigate why and how these stories are compelling in their contemporary renditions, as well as how oral storytelling traditions have shaped how we interpret them.
