Demythifying

DeMyth Talks Aspasia With Yvonne Korshak


Listen Later

Charlotte and Lauren travel back to the Golden Age of Athens with Yvonne Korshak to Demythify Aspasia in honour of Yvonne's book Pericles and Aspasia. They learn about what we actually know about the woman herself, why the comic playwrites and Plato give us such opposing views about her and learn some of the context to the play Antigone.
