This week, we’re taking you back to Ancient Greece with a story you probably didn’t read about in your school textbook.

The Bacchae by Jake Neville 

You’d think that a story about a sexy, naked, lesbian forest cult and their gender-bending queer leader who destroy the patriarchy by dressing the nation’s head honcho in drag would be a very modern kind of story, right? You’d be wrong. Jake and Liam revisit the bloody story of Dionysus and the Bacchae and discover just how little has changed since 405 BC.
