So here we are at our first proper episode. We kick off with a favourite of Abi and Sarah’s – the glorious wordsmith, mythographer, love poet, and, quite frankly, utter bastard: Publius Ovidius Naso, known more commonly as the Latin poet, Ovid.

Myth Dynamite: A Prelude

Join us - Abi and Sarah - for the inaugural episode of Myth Dynamite *cue fanfare*.

Seriously, though, we can promise little to no fanfare in this podcast, other than the copious amounts of fan-girling we do over myth and it's relevance in today's world.

Click on the link below to hear how we fell in love with myth, and - hopefully - by the end, you'll be ready to fall in love with it too.

Episode Two: Hades Gonna Hate

This episode Abi and Sarah tackle the enigma of Hades, God of the Underworld! We know, we know: he’s the god of the underworld and in some ways not such an enigma. Poor old Hades has been a bit pigeon-holed as another Prince of Hell or God of Death over the centuries. Let’s not rob either the Devil or the Grim Reaper of their jobs, people - it’s a tough market as it is. Instead of fetching us from our deathbeds, Hades is our keeper as we join the millions of people who’ve gone before us, and he’s frankly too busy as CEO of life everafter to think about punishing us for our sins. He appointed someone else for that. Join us for a whirlwind tour through the importance of Hades in the ancient world and some cracking modern interpretations of him. Expect Disney’s Hercules references, some fun Hades myths from the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, and the Chair of Forgetfulness.
