Eatin' Kids & Killin' Dads, an Introduction to Greek Mythology
Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold
07/20/17 • 21 min
In the inaugural episode of Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! We cover the story of what the ancient Greek's called the Theogony, the dark and violent ancient Greek creation story. The universe's creation, and how their pantheon of gods came into existence. Gods, monsters, patricide, and some castration, I think we'll all have a pretty great time!
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.

Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold
07/21/17 • 27 min
The story of the hero Perseus (it's only vaguely like Clash of the Titans). We get a taste of how dangerous it is to talk to the Oracle, learn one of the creepiest ways Zeus got his rocks off, and just what happens when you behead a woman like Medusa.
