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

Shownotes Transcript

The Lysistrata is a comedy by Aristophanes. But it's become far more relevant in recent weeks, and not for good reasons. Here it is again, with a new introduction. I hope you'll listen.

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.*

Sources: Lysistrata and Other Plays, by Aristophanes, translated by Alan H. Sommerstein.
