Today Jean is joined by ancient history enthusiast and my favourite murder fangirl Harriet Scott (from season one episode one and eight). Harriet brings the true crime genre to antiquity through discussing the various theories and unsolved questions surrounding the death of Cleopatra VIII - lover of Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, ruler of Egypt, and fierce, intelligent woman. Was it suicide or was it murder?

In this episode of That's Ancient History host Jean Menzies goes in-depth exploring the ancient myth of Helen aka Helen of Troy. Helen is a figure of mythology who has continued to be talked about to the present day. Often used as an example of women's dangerous beauty is Helen's myth as simple as you've been led to believe?
