The Gods Were All A Little Gay, Representation in Mythology (w/ Myths & Tits)

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

It's here: 2020's Pride special. Greek mythology loves a gay story, a queer story, a trans story. The long, long list of LGBTQIA stories from the ancient Greek world are covered. Plus, Liv has a wonderful and hilarious conversation with Mari Phillips of Myths & Tits, stunning art devoted to representation in mythology. Check out Myths & Tits on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mythsntits/.

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.

Past episodes referenced include:

Mini Myth: The Olympians Put the B in LGBTQ+, A Pride Compendium

Mini Myth: When A Girl Loves a Girl, Ovid’s Iphis & Ianthe

Mini Myth: Apollo and Hyacinthus, a Frisbee Tragedy
