Sex, squid and six Socratic dialogues by Lynne Truss. In the smelly but convivial surroundings of the Acropolis Fish Restaurant, 408 BC, great
Athenians confrontthe eternal verities and also eat a lot. 5: War. Xanthippe's luck is in when the war-like but sex-mad Spartans arrive in Athens on a cultural exchange visit.
Producer Brian King
