More on: Adaptations and Retellings

The podcast episodes presented here provide examples of how adaptations and retellings of Greek myths can breathe new life into timeless tales, offering contemporary audiences a unique lens through which to engage with ancient narratives.

In 'S10E6 - Troy Story: Orestes LIVES', the podcast retells the story of Orestes, Iphigenia, and Elektra, the children of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, as they overcome misunderstandings and break the cycle of violence that plagued their family, with Orestes regaining the throne of Mycenae with the help of his sisters (S10E6 - Troy Story: Orestes LIVES).

Similarly, 'S10E1 - Apollo is Grounded' presents an original adaptation of classic Greek myths, recounting the story of Apollo being banished to the mortal world and serving King Admetus, only to try and change Admetus's fated death by appealing to the Fates, which leads to Admetus's wife Alcestis sacrificing herself before being rescued by Heracles (S10E1 - Apollo is Grounded).
