Apologies for the long delay in shows - especially on a show we’re so many of you have been generous enough to show us your support with a financial donation! We’re going to make it up to you over the coming weeks. For those of you that don’t listen to the Napoleon show, I explain the reasons for our long delay at the beginning of this show. It includes TPN’s servers getting attacked by a trojan virus.

Speaking of a trojan… for this show we wanted to talk about a woman from ancient history. Many of you suggested HELEN OF TROY. But is she history? Or mythology?

Helen Of Troy

On this show we talk about whether or not Helen is historical or mythological. We talk about The Iliad, Homer, The Trojan Wars, The Trojan Horse, Achilles, Menelaus, Agamemnon, Odysseus - welcome to the dawn of the HEROIC AGE - 800 BCE.
