Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold

Auteur(s): iHeartPodcasts and Liv Albert
  • Résumé

  • The most entertaining and enraging stories from mythology told casually, contemporarily, and (let's be honest) sarcastically. Greek and Roman gods did some pretty weird (and awful) things. Liv focuses on Greek and Roman mythology's (mis)treatment of women, the wild things the gods did, and the all around incredible minds of the ancient world. Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday.

  • Beware the Blood of a Gorgon, Euripides’ Ion (Part 1)
    May 21 2024

    Back with another fascinating Euripidean woman... Mistaken identities, lost half divine children, and the horrors of Apollo. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!

    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: Euripides' Ion: translation by Cecelia Eaton Luschnig; introduction to Euripides' Orestes and Other Plays by Edith Hall.

  • RE-AIR: There Once Was a Battle of Frogs & Mice, the Satirical Silliness of the Batrachomyomachia
    May 14 2024

    Revisiting the silliest epic of them all... We all know the famed battle of Achaean and Trojans, but what about the equally epic battle between the Frogs and the Mice?

    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: select research by August Guszkowski; The Battle Between the Frogs and Mice, translated by A.E. Stallings; The Homeric Battle of the Frogs and Mice, edited by Joel Christensen and Erik Robinson.

Always good

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.
