Description

Liv speaks with Vanessa Stovall about studying depictions of hair in myth and tragedy of the Classical world, the intricacies of myth and tragedy broadly, and a healthy dose of why Apollo isn't all that. You can follow Vanessa on twitter here, read her Corona Borealis publication on Medium here, and watch the Barnard/Columbia production of Iphigenia at Aulis here.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.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.

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.
