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

Auteur(s): Liv Albert
  • Résumé

  • The most entertaining and enraging stories from mythology (and, now, ancient history of the Mediterranean) told casually, contemporarily, and (let's be honest) sarcastically. Greek and Roman gods did some pretty weird (and awful) things. Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday.

    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Conversation: Singing the Songs of Sumer, the Mesopotamian Mythology of Ancient Iraq w/ Alex W
    Feb 21 2025

    Liv is joined by Alex W to discuss Sumerian mythology and some broader history of Mesopotamia/Ancient Iraq. Learn more from Alex vis his podcast, the Drumbeat Forever After, here.

    As mentioned in the episode, Aseel Jad El-Haq is 28, the youngest of seven sisters. She grew up in Khan Younis, the daughter of a successful clothing company owner, going to the gym and visiting the beach with her friends and riding a horse named Beautiful (in Arabic). Her house and car were completely destroyed, the horse was killed, she's had to relocate over 20 times since the war began, and she's currently staying with her father (whose medical situation is serious), her mother (who has diabetes and needs insulin), one of her sisters, and that sister's young children. If you can help Aseel and her family, please do.

    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.

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.

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.
