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

  • Summary

  • 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.

  • When the Threat of a Woman Threatens to Take Down the Patriarchy, A Reading from Medusa

    When the Threat of a Woman Threatens to Take Down the Patriarchy, A Reading from Medusa
    Nov 19 2024

    A reading from Liv's new piece on Medusa, from the collection Medusa, New & Ancient Greek Tales, available now from Flame Tree Press.

    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: Independent, Industrious, Badass & Brave, the Heroine of Greek Myth, Arcadian Atalanta
    Nov 12 2024

    This episode originally aired March 22, 2022. Atalanta: the heroine of ancient Greece. Or, was it heroines? There are two Atalantas, sometimes conflated into one, other times separate. One fought the Calydonian boar, wrestled Peleus, and generally kicked ass. The other lost a foot race, distracted by a golden apple.

Liv is the best and I love this podcast!

I originally found and listened to this podcast on Spotify but am going for a reposted since finding it here on audible. Liv is Amazingly knowledgeable, funny and a great story teller. I highly recommend to anyone with even the slightest interest in Greek Mythology!
