Can you tell your Odysseus from your Oedipus? 'Immensely informative... You’d be barking to miss it.' Professor Michael Scott In this unique introduction, Philip Womack leads his b eloved lurcher Una (and us) on a fleet-footed odyssey through the classical world. From Aeneas to Polydorus to, of course, Cerberus, you’ll learn about the world of the Ancient Greeks and Romans and, with a bit of luck, you’ll be able to pass it on to your dog. But maybe best leave out that story of the hounds who tore their very own master limb from limb… 'Philip Womack and Una – his optima canis – are tremendous companions in their journey round the classical world.'
