S1 E6: For a Swarm of Bees
<p>Bees are often linked to prophesy in Greek mythology. But when a swarm of wild bees settles in her garden, Bibi turns to Virgil’s Georgics and, surprisingly, another descent to Hades.<br /> <br /> Extracts are from Book 4 of Virgil’s ‘Georgics’ translated by H. R. Fairclough; from Book 10 of Pausanias’, ‘Description of Greece’, translated by WHS Jones and from the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, translated by H. G. Evelyn-White.<br /> All translations are in the public domain.<br /> <br /> The title of this episode, ‘For a Swarm of Bees’, comes from an Anglo-Saxon metrical charm used to magically prevent bees from swarming!<br /> <br /> The original violin compositions in this episode are by Chloe Dunn.<br /> Sound and production by Geoff Chong.<br /> <br /> Listen to our retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth: https://bit.ly/44kYzCd</p>
