Love this Podcast. And at the end, I agree, cause if that would have happen to any of my sister, aunts, mom or any of my female family members, you best know it, and I’m always giving the Female the benefit of doubt that she was, because, it will all of it will always come out in the rinse cycle. We shouldn’t think she’s not being honest about it, that’s what an investigation is for. Now, please don’t think I’m not unaware that lie’s can be told as well as we are always hearing how 10, 30, 50 years a innocent person was convicted of a crime they did not commit. However, this should be checked out, and it can be investigated without arresting anyone before the facts are pulled to the forefront. as you said, Women have been a class of people that were second and third no rights they were considered property, just like doing slavery when people from the African continent were forcibly taken and brought across the world to be treated like property both were wrong. It was wrong then, as it’s wrong Today in 2024

Wish this podcast was around when I was in school. It would’ve made learning about Greek mythology and Greek literature so much better. You don’t have to be intimidated to listen to this podcast. The podcast host breaks down each reading beautifully the guest speaker she has on are absolutely amazing. There’s a top of their fields and have a great perspective on Greek literature.She also likes to shed a light on some of the less popular Greek tragedies, and Works that I would not have been exposed to any other way. The only dangerous part of this podcast is after listening for a couple episodes you’re going to want to take that trip to Greece and see all the ruins and the places.Absolutely amazing please keep up all your hard work!!

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.
