Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! | Greek Mythology & the Ancient Mediterranean

De: Liv Albert
Escúchala gratis

The most entertaining and enraging stories from 'Classical' mythology (and, often, ancient history of the wider Mediterranean!) told casually, contemporarily, and (more often than not) sarcastically. The world of Greek mythology and the history of the wider ancient Mediterranean is full of wonder, horror, and utter hilarity. These myths and stories are timeless for a reason, they're just as relevant today as they were 2500+ years ago. With over 700 episodes and counting, we dive deep into the realm of gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between.


Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday. LTAMB: The Oracle Edition has ad-free episodes and so much more. Learn more about the podcast, and Liv's work, including her book Greek Mythology: the Gods, Goddess, and Heroes Handbook at mythsbaby.com.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. I try to provide direct warnings when there is reference to anything with overtly traumatic themes but be aware that Greek mythology regularly features assault, death, and many other potentially triggering events.

Fantastic, love to listen often. Gave me a much better understanding of Greek mythology. I enjoy the host and her perspective on the obvious sexism of Greek myth.

Liv tells the tales of Greek mythology in a way that's fun, engaging and easy to understand even when some are so convoluted and confusing. She also makes amazing commentary and parallels to modern day issues and trends in a way that is refreshing. 10/10
