Description

This mini-series-within-a-series will be a deep dive into queer history in ancient Greece and Rome--starting with queer women.
Because how could we do a season about sex and sex magic without talking about the magical provenance of those who fell outside the accepted binary?
Women who loved other women were gender rebels in the ancient world. They challenged the gender binary in some of the most basic and fundamental ways—ways that the ancient Greeks and Romans found profoundly destabilizing.

An ancient history podcast run by two Millennial women. Misbehaving emperors, poison assassins, mythological mayhem; it’s like if Hardcore History met up with My Favorite Murder in the ancient world, with a heavy helping of booze and laughter. New episodes weekly. On hiatus until September 22.
