Episode 549 - J Susanne Wilson - Ancient Civilizations, Greek Myth Retelling, Trojan War

I am a historical fiction writer focusing on myths set in Bronze Age Greece. I earned my B.A. in Ancient Civilizations with a minor in Classical Languages from the University of Iowa. My concentration was on Greek and Roman art, religion, history, and languages. My debut novel, The Death and Life of Iphigenia, was short-listed for the 2024 Novel London Literary Prize and was published in 2025.

THE DEATH AND LIFE OF IPHIGENIA

SONGS AND LIES, BOOK 1 - Iphigenia’s true story lies beneath the songs of the bards and the whispers of Muses

As Greek warriors prepare for the Trojan War, Mycenaean princess Iphigenia is forced to endure the demands of angry gods and desperate kings. Separated from her mother and sister, exiled to an oppressive foreign land, she is bound by sacred duty to perform grim rituals that stain her hands and haunt her dreams.

Finally, after fourteen long years, she discovers an opportunity to escape and must decide if her longed-for home and stolen life are still worth fighting for.

This is a tale of survival, identity, and the eternal quest for belonging.
