    Ep 3: The Morrigan – The Phantom Queen

    On the blood-soaked battlefields of ancient Ireland, a single raven flies down to claim the soul of a fallen warrior. In our third launch episode, we meet The Morrigan, the terrifying Celtic goddess of war, witchcraft, and death. While older history rewrote her as an evil witch or a weeping banshee of doom, she was actually the ultimate protector of the land and the guardian of absolute truth. Discover her shapeshifting battles with Ireland's most arrogant hero, and learn why true power doesn’t care about making people comfortable. She held the strings of fate in her hands, and she wore her darkness like a crown. 🎧 Hit follow so you never miss an episode! 📱 Tell us who we should unearth next on Instagram: @WomenInMythology

    Ep 2: Medusa – The Protective Curse

    For thousands of years, history called her a snake-haired demon. A hideous beast waiting for a male hero to slice off her head. In this episode, we cross the ocean to ancient Greece to look past the stone-cold myth. Before the snakes, Medusa was a beautiful woman trying to survive the whims of selfish gods. Discover why her transformation wasn't actually a punishment from the goddess Athena—it was the ultimate protection. Her terrifying gaze became an impenetrable shield, ensuring no predator could ever touch or objectify her again. Sometimes, becoming a monster is the only way to survive. 🎧 Hit follow so you never miss a reclamation! 📱 Connect with the revolution on Instagram: @WomenInMythology

    Ep 1: Draupadi - The Fire Born

    She did not crawl out of a womb or cry like a fragile baby. She stepped directly out of a roaring bonfire—fully grown and ready to fight. In our premiere episode, we meet Draupadi, the fierce queen from the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata. History often blames her for a catastrophic world war. But did she start the war, or was she just demanding justice from a corrupt kingdom? Discover the truth behind the infamous game of dice, her brilliant legal mind, and the wild, untied hair that shook an empire. Hit follow so you never miss an episode!
