Let"s Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold

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. Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
