A journey across Europe, exploring the epic poems: from Homer's Odyssey, through the devastating conflict of the French Song of Roland and the German Nibelungenlied, to the Viking sagas such as Beowulf and the Icelandic Njal's Saga, these are timeless tales about human nature; but also windows into other societies, with different emphases on matters of honour, kinship, fundamentalism and fate.
Adventures in the great stories that made Europe.
