Description

A certain famous inventor and his impulsive son attempt to escape the island of Crete. It doesn't go well. Flying too close to the sun has a price.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: Apollodorus' Library of Greek Mythology translated by Robin Hard, the Greek Myths by Robert Graves, Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes by Edith Hamilton, Ovid's Metamorphoses translated by Allen Mandelbaum, and Theoi.comAttributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.

Titles in the series (100)

The most entertaining and enraging stories from mythology told casually, contemporarily, and (let's be honest) sarcastically. Greek and Roman gods did some pretty weird (and awful) things. Liv focuses on Greek and Roman mythology's (mis)treatment of women, the wild things the gods did, and the all around incredible minds of the ancient world. Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday.
