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

Shownotes Transcript

The Olympians were nothing if not (very selectively) progressive. Dionysus, Pan, and Hermaphroditus: LGBTQ icons.

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.*
