Description
Happy Halloween! This Halloween special episode is a more detailed introduction to Medea, and her witchy family.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: The Library of Greek Mythology, Apollodorus, translated by Robin Hard, Magic in the Ancient Greek World by Derek Collins, and most notably Magic, Witchcraft, and Ghosts in the Greek and Roman Worlds, a sourcebook by Daniel Ogden.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.
