Description

Theseus, Theseus, Theseus. He's not done terrorizing the Hellenic world, next up: a kidnapping spree including a very, very young Helen of Sparta, an Amazonian queen, and a flesh and blood goddess.CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.Sources: Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes by Edith Hamilton, Ovid’s Metamorphoses translated by Allen Mandelbaum, Apollodorus’ Library of Greek Mythology translated by Robin Hard, Ovid’s Fasti as found on theoi.com's entry on Ariadne; The Greek Myths by Robert Graves; the Homeric Hymn to Dionysus as found on theoi.com's entry on Dionysus.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.

Titles in the series (100)

The most entertaining and enraging stories from mythology told casually, contemporarily, and (let's be honest) sarcastically. Greek and Roman gods did some pretty weird (and awful) things. Liv focuses on Greek and Roman mythology's (mis)treatment of women, the wild things the gods did, and the all around incredible minds of the ancient world. Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday.
