Demythifying x Dr. Aven McMaster

Joining Charlotte in today's episode is Dr. Aven McMaster. In a conversation that could have carried on for HOURS, they talk about sexual and gender politics in Rome. From Ovid to Catullus. Aven tells the story of the woman she believes everyone should know about and mentions a few sources by the end, for anyone who enjoys a rabbit hole;

Suetonius "Lives of the Caesars", Cicero "Philippics", Catullus, and Juvenal "Satires".

"Exploring Gender Diversity" edited by Allison Surtees and Jennifer Dyer, from Edinburgh University Press, and "Performing the Kinaidos: Unmanly Men in Ancient Mediterranean Culture" by Tom Sapsford, from Oxford University Press.
