Happy Halloween! Dr. Radcliffe Edmonds, a professor of Classics at Bryn Mawr College, and expert on Greek imaginings of death, afterlife, and on the discourse of magic in the ancient world joins Lexie for this spooktacular bonus episode! This discussion about the representation of the Underworld in Rick Riordan’s Heroes of Olympus book series and why death & the afterlife are considered taboo in modern society, was actually cut from an earlier episode. If you would like a refresher on that conversation, we recommend listening or re-listening to episode 8. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram or visit our website www.theozymandiasproject.com!
