An introduction to this podcast and what to expect in the coming first season (hint: everyone's favorite mythological/dubiously historical epic war)... (bear with me with the audio, I'm still learning the works)

**NOTE: I've since (sort of) rebranded the podcast; I know I said I'm only doing Graeco-Roman retellings but I've decided to expand the podcast to cover all mythologies and ancient histories. I talk more about it in S1E2, The Song of Achilles (Part 1).

Thank you for listening!
