Peerless Penthesilea and the Horror of Achilles (Mythological Amazons Part 2)
Podcast: Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology RetoldPublished On: Tue Apr 06 2021
Description: Penthesilea was one of the most badass Amazons... Until she encountered Achilles. This story is not kind to he of the weak ankle.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: Amazons by Adrienne Mayor; Quintus Smyrnaeus' The Fall of Troy translated by A.S.
