Greek myth and the Indian epic Ramayana
Stephanie Flanders with poets Anne Carson and Daljit Nagra, director Richard Eyre and writer Graham Robb.
Stephanie Flanders talks to the Canadian poet Anne Carson about updating a three thousand year old myth, in which the red winged monster becomes a moody teenage boy. Daljit Nagra takes inspiration from poets across Asia for his own version of the ancient text, Ramayana. The sins of the father are revisited in Richard Eyre's version of Ibsen's Ghosts. And Celtic Europe is the setting for Graham Robb's latest journey, as he uncovers a lost map which reveals hidden meanings in an ancient civilisation.
Producer: Katy Hickman.
