Summary
You know what I don't talk enough about? The ruins of Pompeii. Author Elodie Harper joins me to talk ancient Pompeii and writing the lives of enslaved people living in ancient Rome. It's a dark topic, but we have fun (I promise). Find Elodie's two novels, The Wolf Den and The House With the Golden Door wherever you get books. Follow Elodie on Twitter and Instagram.
CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
