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.

Conversations: Revisiting the Cultural Memory of the Bronze Age
Revisiting three past conversations featuring mythology based in the cultural memory of the Bronze Age... The Minotaur and Autism featuring Cora Beth Fraser, Helen of Sparta and the Kalon Kakon with Alexia Burrows Charalambidou, and Homer with Joel Christensen. Find the full Bronze Age playlist here.
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.

there is a lot of fun and a lot of female perspective!! great podcast
Amazing Podcast With a Dash of Relevant Social Commentary
This is my favourite podcast ever! After having a looooot of classics classes in uni it is always nice to flex my "classics" muscle and listen to Liv’s amazing stories. I really love how she tries to go beyond the material and that she makes a huge effort to read broadly (with sources that can be both dense and hard to find). Thank you for all the amazing work you do! Lover from Portugal ❤️
YES!
two of my fave topics, femenism and mythology!
