Penelope & Medea, the Heroines Behind their Heroes
Podcast:Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold Rating: Explicit Published On: Tue Nov 05 2019 Description: The women behind the men. Penelope beyond Odysseus and the Odyssey, and the second part in the story of Medea . Two fascinating and underrepresented women of mythology. 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.
