Upon discovering alcohol, the drunken king Oeneus forgets to honor Artemis at first harvest. In revenge, the angry, man-hating goddess sends a wild boar to ravage the kingdom of Calydon. The king organizes a party of the greatest heroes in Greece to hunt the animal. Will one of the men make the kill, or will they be humiliated when the prize goes to a woman?

The Calydonian Boar Hunt presents the classic Greek myth as could only be retold by J. Manfred Weichsel, America's premier satirist.
