  • "ariadne"
    in myth month week three, we dive into jennifer saint's ariadne. the theme (unfortunately) is that women always lose! in this episode tuck learns pronunciation of multiple words (not all of then greek), bailey chooses to believe whatever she wants about the plot, and we talk about whether or not it is fair to view literature about ancient times through our current lens of what a "feminist work" is. thanks for tuning back in:)
