Book description
Picture this: two unemployed Sicilian potters, Lampo and Gelon, are basically hanging out in a rock quarry full of Athenian prisoners who tried to invade their city. Instead of, say, throwing rocks at them, these guys decide the prisoners deserve a proper meal... if they can recite a line of Euripides. Suddenly, it's not just about food-it's about staging Medea in a war zone. Because apparently, in ancient Sicily, the only thing more dangerous than a battlefield is a bad Greek tragedy with zero rehearsal time.
Ferdia Lennon's Glorious Exploits is that rare audiobook that makes you snort-laugh into your coffee while simultaneously wanting to weep. The Irish voice? Oh, it's chef's kiss. You're not just reading about these guys; you're listening to them crack jokes about pottery glaze while trying to convince a grumpy prisoner that "Oedipus Rex" is definitely not a good idea for morale. ("He's got a lot of baggage, Gelon!" "Yeah, and he's carrying it while we're trying to get him to say 'I am the king!'")
The genius here is how Lennon turns a war story into a buddy comedy with a side of existential dread. You'll find yourself rooting for these two potters as they navigate: a suspiciously enthusiastic chorus of prisoners, a directorial meltdown involving a stolen clay pot, and the terrifying realization that staging a play in a quarry might be more likely to get you killed than fighting a war. (Spoiler: It is.)
But it's not just jokes. Lennon's writing is a warm hug wrapped in a witty Irish accent, showing how art-yes, art-can be the ultimate bridge between enemies. It's the kind of book that makes you pause mid-episode to text your friend: "You HAVE to hear this bit where they try to translate 'Medea' into Sicilian dialect. It's chaos, but glorious chaos."
So yeah, if you've ever wondered what happens when you mix ancient history, terrible acting, and the sheer audacity to believe poetry can save your life, Glorious Exploits is your new obsession. It's riotously funny, deeply human, and proof that sometimes, the best way to end a war is to laugh through the rubble. And honestly? The audiobook version makes you feel like you're part of the quarry crew, whispering "Cue the tragic monologue!" right alongside them. Don't just read it-listen to it. Your soul (and your laugh muscles) will thank you.
