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

Shownotes Transcript

Part two of the Mesopotamian epic, the first recorded work of literature, the Epic of Gilgamesh!

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.
