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.

Conversations: Revisiting the Cultural Memory of the Bronze Age
Revisiting three past conversations featuring mythology based in the cultural memory of the Bronze Age... The Minotaur and Autism featuring Cora Beth Fraser, Helen of Sparta and the Kalon Kakon with Alexia Burrows Charalambidou, and Homer with Joel Christensen. Find the full Bronze Age playlist here.
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.
