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. Liv focuses on Greek and Roman mythology's (mis)treatment of women, the wild things the gods did, and the all around incredible minds of the ancient world. Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday.

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.

Liv knows her shi… stuff!
I was relatively new to Greek mythology but you have made it so accessible and fun! My best friend recommended your podcast and I’ve been hooked ever since! Now I‘be finally reached the end and get to look forward to weekly episodes!
I love how Liv retells the stories through a feminist lens and the conversation episodes are a great supplement to the show.
What I have noticed and loved is how many of the everyday things we take for granted have references to Greek mythology - And because of the show, I’m learning that now! Liv also talks about the ancient etymology which is super interesting and warms my linguist heart. Keep on doing what you’re doing! 🇬🇷
AMAZING
This show is amazing!!! I have always been a geek for stuff like this and this podcast has just made me sooo happy because it is just talks about myths and fun stuff. I also love her comments.
Absolutely fantastic!
I really like this podcast. I've listen to most of it twice, as it's really interesting :) It has a wonderful mix of myth-telling and myth-explaining, conversations with experts/authors, and reading episodes, so there's something for every mood. Liv is so funny and I love to hear her rant about the patriachy, stupid gods, and the decisions being made. I also love how much it pisses some people of :P Keep it up, Liv!
