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.
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.

A Note from 2020: In this episode That Woman is mentioned fondly. That was 2017, this is now: trans women are women, trans men are men, non-binary people are who they say they are. Trans rights are human rights.
