Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold

Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold

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. 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: What Makes a Serial Killer, Mythological or Otherwise? w/ Debbie Felton

    Liv speaks with Dr Debbie Felton about serial killers of the ancient world, both mythological and otherwise. Plus, monsters and monstrosity... Find more from Debbie here, including links to the books mentioned, and the Ancient Monsters Blog 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.

    RE-AIR: But What About Rome?! Roman Mythology & the Great Mother Cybele

    Naturally, as soon as Liv was ready to get settled in Toronto, she came down with a terrible cold and sounds half human half lawnmower, so today we're bringing you a little more ancient Rome, since it's all the rage right now. Liv dives (or perhaps wades into the shallows) of Roman mythology and religion, and tells the story of how the Phrygian goddess Cybele ended up in Italy.  CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault.
