Acropolis Now: 1: Fish

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Sex, squid and six Socratic dialogues by Lynne Truss.

In the smelly but convivial surroundings of the Acropolis Fish Restaurant, 408 BC, great Athenians confront the eternal verities and also eat a lot.

A chorus of Ancient Greek fish delivery men bring disturbing news for Aristophanes.
