How much do you really know about the Trojan War? Most people know about the Iliad, but fewer know that the tale of the Trojan War sprawls over centuries of oral tradition and includes events far outside the scope of Homer's masterwork (if there even was a Homer). Storyteller Jeff Wright has spent a lot of time with the Trojan War in all its variations, and recently he's created a popular podcast which undertakes to retell the whole story, from the first traces in Olympus to the bitter end - with some commentary and explanation along the way. Kate gets him into the studio to talk Greek myth, story crafting, and what it is that still compels us about the deeds of Bronze Age warlords and distant gods.
