Charlotte and Lauren are joined by Neal and Dustin from "Greek Gods and Human Mythtakes" to talk more about Athena. Because last episode wasn't enough of an Athena Fix!
They explore two myths where Athena punishes people who get on the wrong side of her, discuss Athena as Athenian propaganda, a patron of heroes, a punisher of people and as flawed feminist icon. Dustin and Neal teach Charlotte and Lauren differences between Athena and Minerva. Charlotte and Lauren also ask Neal and Dustin some ridiculous questions.

Both Lauren and Charlotte share some of their favourite stories about the twins too. Confused after listening about Lauren weirdly crushing on Apollo? You should be.

Lauren teaches Charlotte all about Prometheus, the first men (well sort of) and why you REALLY shouldn't get on Zeus's bad side. Charlotte teaches Lauren all about the first woman (the actual first). They talk about art, literature and wait why are there biblical comparisons?? Of course Charlotte ends on another important question for Lauren.
