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

Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday.

    24 SEPT.

    I Would Gladly Fight in Battle Three Times Over, Than Give Birth Once… Women in Euripides

    Some of the most realistic, sympathetic, complex, and villainous women of the ancient world are found in the works of Euripides. He seemed to have had an interest in the people on the margins, women, foreign "barbarians", and enslaved people. Today we're looking at them, and Euripides through them.

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.

    Apo Mechanis Theos; Deus Ex Machina; Gods in the Machine (Euripides Part 3)

    Like most things Euripides wrote, his treatment of the Olympian gods and what they were capable of (and best of all, how that's received by mortals) is absolutely ripe for interpretation. Euripides walked the line of impiety and seemed to have a ball. 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. Sources: The Masque of Dionysus by Helen P Foley; Isabelle Torrance's Euripides; Mary Lefkowitz' Euripides and the Gods; passages read from Hippolytus and Helen, translated by EP Coleridge; Ion, translated by Cecelia Eaton Luschnig; and Bacchae, translated by T.
