SPOOKY SPECIAL: Which Witch Is the Best Witch? Ovid’s Medea & Circe w/ Antonia Aluko

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

Revisiting the vastness of classical witchcraft... Liv speaks with Antonia Aluko who studies Roman witches and intersectionality, they talk all things Medea and Circe as they're found in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Follow Antonia on Twitter for more on Roman witches.

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.
