À propos de cet audio

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.

    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.

    RE-AIR: Conversations: Sorceresses & Satire, Witches of Ancient Greece & Rome w/ Maxwell T Paule
    Oct 24 2025

    Thanks for your patience... New episodes are (fingers crossed) coming soon! For now, this episode originally aired in October 2021 (which, yes, Liv looked up AFTER guessing it was 'a couple years ago'... time is a flat circle). Liv speaks with Maxwell T Paule all about witches (and much, much more) of classical myth and Roman poetry... Follow Maxwell on Twitter and TikTok. The poem recited is Horace's Epode 5, translated by Maxwell T Paule. Submit your question for the next Q&A via email or a voice note.

    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.

Featured Article: 14 of the Best History Podcasts For Every History Fan

Everybody loves historical yarn. We can watch the trials of humanity from a safe distance, then judge how well we did as a species or, more likely, how badly. And when you think things are getting better, along comes a figure or an act of nature that pushes us back to the brink again. Whatever your taste in bygone times, we've got some compelling history podcasts here, some light and humorous, some stuff you missed in history class in high school, but all ripe for learning more about the backstory on how we got where we are today.

Liv tells a good story, does great research and brings it all together... I love the conversations and loved the Atlantis series. Still catching up as I'm in mid 2022 for episodes. The newer episodes are more in depth and polished, but I think I enjoyed the first few months the most, the swearing and feminist comments certainly got more than a few chuckles. Liv produces a huge amount of content and I love it all. I'm looking forward to where ever she takes us next.

Always good
