Description
How did Zeus manage to father most of the second generation of Olympians? And what about all the women (and one man) that he "had sex" with in some of the world's most creative (and troubling) ways? Zeus was a creep, but he sure knew how to make an entrance.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.A Note from 2020: In this episode That Woman is mentioned fondly. That was 2017, this is now: trans women are women, trans men are men, non-binary people are who they say they are. Trans rights are human rights.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.
