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

Shownotes Transcript

Pygmalion and Galatea, it's super weird and creepy but also the origin of My Fair Lady and, yes, She's All That! 

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.
