The FrankenPod - A Gothic Literature and Cinema Podcast

Do you know much about Gothic literature?

Morgan knows a little bit, she likes to talk about it, a lot.

Morgan has no life.

And now you have an expected mini episode before we release Frankenstein.

Its only 9 minutes of your life and the pretentious level is at about 76%

It is our intro, outro and interlude music.

In this mini episode, I am going to introduce the myth of Prometheus as it is so critical to Frankenstein or the modern day Prometheus by Mary Shelley.

I was going to retell the story of Prometheus the same way I first read it, in a 1920s children's adaption very similar to the kind I used to read at my Nanna and Grandpa's house when I was a kid. But I hadn't anticipated how woefully inaccurate this retelling would be. So instead I'm going to attempt to break the myth down myself.

This could be rough.
