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

Shownotes Transcript

The origin of the concept of Soulmates, from Plato's Symposium. It's weird, but ultimately lovely.

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: Plato's Symposium, translated by Christopher Gill.
