After a welcome hiatus for all of us (especially you, listener), Jeff and Dave are back in the studio for a look at the archaic hymn to the goddess Demeter.

Clocking in at 495 lines, how does this eypllion differ from the shorter poems from the seventh century?

Tune in for the answers to these and other pressing questions as the summer rolls along.
