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.
Sources: Euripides' Ion: translation by Cecelia Eaton Luschnig; introduction to Euripides' Orestes and Other Plays by Edith Hall.

Liv, you’re the best
I’ve been listening to this podcast for two years on Spotify but I just had to come on here to write a review. Liv is absolutely amazing at storytelling and her research is simply superb. I really hope everyone and anyone interested in Greek mythology will give this podcast a chance because you will not be disappointed!!! I wish I could rate this more than 5 stars everywhere
ugh it’s just so good
I’ve started this pod from the very beginning and I’m gonna be so sad when I eventually catch up.
Love it!!
