Happy International Womens Day! Raise your hand if you've ever been personally victimised by Hera! Lauren and Charlotte aren't saying that NONE of her behaviour is questionable, far from it! They do however want to give some love to the first lady of Olympus and maybe show people that she isn't always as bad as she seems. Joined by Monica from Rewriting Myth they come at Hera from different angles. They'll also talk about other scorned women from Greek Mythology - Medea, Clytemnestra and Penelope and look at how "scorned women" are treated in the media today.
Plus see how well you do at "Iris Got News For you" as we have our first ever game head to head as Charlotte takes on Monica.

Charlotte and Lauren certainly haven't been blessed by Apollo to be able to tell you what your star sign has in store for you but they can teach you the mythic origins.
It's the final of the star sign minisodes and they cover Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. It's their favorite because its the episode we cover Lauren'  (saving the best til last)

Charlotte and Lauren didn't want to do the most obvious thing and pull out Aphrodite on V-Day itself (just in the Valentine's month).
So what is the alternative story of Aphrodite's birth? What is she the goddess of? Who are some of her most famous lovers and children? And what happens when you incur her blessing or her wrath?

Charlotte and Lauren are getting into the V-Day spirit offering you a double helping of romantic myths. Did you know how many definitions of love the ancient Greeks had? Well now you do!

Lauren really wanted to cover the story of Pygmalion! Although writing the episode and talking about it she's rethinking her opinions on the story.
Charlotte is telling us our first and definitely not last LGBTQ+ story! 

They also talk about Disney couples since it's Valentine's Day.

Lauren has made it clear that she has limited sewing skills but she really wanted to explore weaving not only in Greek Mythology but across other mythologies, stories and cultures too. She and Charlotte have taken each other on a total trip across the globe weaving in and out of different times, places and stories and enjoying the journey. They are joined by friend to the podcast Elin aka MooseLady_ and are so excited to finally hang out with her for the first and hopefully not the last time.
Shag, Marry, Kill  the Olympus big 3, what would you do?
