Radio 4’s season of modern rewritings of Ovid concluded with Echo and Narcissus and Myrrha. Both dramas were written in the modern idiom, produced in contemporary life, concerning a body-builder, an idealistic teenager, and another teenager experiencing repression in rural Ireland in the 1980s. The moral lessons of each tale emerged loud and clear; but I did get the sense that the mythological and contemporary elements of both productions did not quite cohere. However I applaud Radio 4’s attempts to popularize Ovid.
