The myth on why is pretty wild..... (what is a man doing here?!)We're then diving into the infamous story of the missing Caryatid that longs to join her sisters in Greece and why the porch of the maidens is so special.

We’re back with another infamous Hekate episode and we’re taking a look at Hekate as the Nursemaid and evidence that leads to the point that she overthrows Kronos?!

We're covering why it matters when looking at mythology to stake a claim about a god or goddess - do we have a site that back this? Do we have art/sculpture or other writers writing about the same thing?

We can't just make a claim because we want to - we need to have it backed and for todays episode... we sure do!

Topic intro: 0:00

Hekate The Nursemaid: 3:53

Evidence that Hekate helped trick Kronos: 22:00

Why looking at sites and evidence matters when staking a claim about Hekate: 31:10
