520			_aThe Greeks and the Romans laid the foundations of so much of what we read, listen to and watch today, from the baked pies of Game of Thrones to the Lotus-eaters of Love Island. In this unique introduction, Womack leads his beloved lurcher Una (and us) on a fleet-footed odyssey through the classical world. You'll learn to tell your Odysseus from your Oedipus, your Polyxena from your Polydorus ... but the story of the hunting dogs that tore their own master apart may be best left for another day."--Publisher's description
