Description
That's right it's time for actually, run of the mill mythology! Okay, it's Spartan so actually it's still pretty weird, and confusing... Because you know, Greek mythology. We're talking Children of Heracles and all the famous Spartans of the Homeric world. Plus, the myth-making that gave us 300. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!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: Early Greek Myths by Timothy Gantz; Herakles by Emma Stafford; Oxford Dictionary of Classical Myth and Religion; Theoi.com; Herodotus’ Histories, Godley translation found on Perseus; Bad Ancient entry on the 300 at Thermopylae; A Companion to Sparta, edited by Anton Howell.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.
