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.

Liv Reads Ovid: Heroides & Metamorphoses of Deianeira & Heracles
Liv reads Ovid's Heroides, letter from Deianeira to Hercules, translated by Grant Showerman, and Ovid's Metamorphoses, selection from Book 9, translated by Brookes More. Looking at the story of Deianeira and Hercules (because, Roman) from Ovid's perspective both through the words of Deianeira, and the full story as it appears in the Metamorphoses.
This is not a standard narrative story episode, it's a reading of an ancient source, audiobook style. For regular episodes look for any that don't have "Liv Reads..." in the title!
