Epic Poetry
Readings of great seldom heard Epic Poems. These poems stem from a wonderful tradition of storytelling, of bards and skalds, and should be read aloud. Hear The Fall of Troy, the Volsunga saga, the story of Parzival, Paradise Lost, The Nibelungenlied, The Aeneid, the Lays of Ancient Rome and other great poems of mighty deeds, brave men, and gods.

Ulysses relates how, after his return from the shades, he was sent by Circe on his voyage, by the coast of the Sirens, and by the strait of Scylla and Charybdis: the manner in which he escaped those dangers: how, being cast on the island Trinacria, his companions destroyed the oxen of the Sun: the vengeance that followed; how all perished by shipwreck except himself, who, swimming on the mast of the ship, arrived on the island of Calypso. With which his narration concludes.

Dear Titurel,
I just found your podcast the other day. I'm blown away by the quality of the production and poetry on the show. I run a non-profit, web-based literary radio station called LitStation. We are currently in the process of expanding from 6 daily rotations to 24. We'd love to open a new rotation for Epic Poetry. Let me know if you are interested, or have questions.
Keep up the great work,
Hendree
