Almost 2 years and the Greek Gods and Goddesses series on @AncientsHH has come to a fitting end with Hestia. It’s been a real joy writing myth stories for the podcast and couldn’t be happier with how they’ve all turned out. A huge thank you to @ancientstristan and all the team!

Zeus, the chief deity in Greek mythology, is the Olympian god of the sky and thunder, and king of all the gods and men. He's one of the most complex figures in history. In this episode, Tristan is joined by Professor Michael Scott to look at Zeus' origins. podfollow.com/the-ancients

@howardhorner said: This small sausage on a grill was the epitome of the manuscript's peculiarity. That an artist hundreds of years ago had taken the time to draw this entertained and entranced me – I knew there must be a story behind this humble sausage!

Howard Horner's gorgeous storytelling is accompanied by an original score by @heavingwithlice. It was created for the #TheNeedlesArt Exhibition with @BodEducation with the kind support of the Helen Hamlyn Trust.
