It's part six of the Odyssey and we're back in the Underworld hanging out with dead friends. Plus, Circe gives some tips on how to get past my favourite mythological monstrosities: Scylla and Charybdis.
A general mythology warning: far too many Greek myths involve assaulting women. 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.
