Demythifying

Welcome to the first DeMythifying episode of 2022. Lauren and Charlotte are raising a glass to the god who DEFINETLY won't be partaking in dry January. 
So what exactly happened to Dionysus after he popped out of Zeus's thigh?  What is Frenzy and happened when he ran into some pirates? There's romance as they delve into his love life and adventure as he goes exploring in the East.  Plus other stories about him....Clearly he was busy!

Charlotte and Lauren are getting all festive in their first Christmas episode.
They teach each other about Ancient Greek harvest and winter festivals and potential origins of Christmas traditions.
Most importantly they compare notes on who they want to kiss under the mistletoe and it's safe to say they won't be fighting over boys any time soon!

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.

There are two godly siblings of war and somehow we've fit them both into one episode! 
Charlotte talks about Athena, goddess of wisdom and strategic war.
While Lauren talks about Ares, the god of bloodthirsty war and possibly the most unpopular Olympian?
They also make comparisons between the two. Lauren is super excited for you to hear her first attempt at editing an episode!

As a tribute to October being Black History Month in the UK, Charlotte and Lauren brought along two very special friends for this special episode - Natalie and Rory.  They talk about Andromeda and Renaissance white washing and how noteable ancient Greeks learned from Africa. Lauren references 'The Wire' and Natalie and Rory answer a very important question - Which Olympian can you most relate to?

Lauren and Charlotte get very familiar with Olympus's favourite twins. How did Leto manage to get around Hera? And the twins defending their mothers honour.. no problem! 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 and Charlotte are here talking about the OG ladies man! How does the most famous god in ancient greece go about getting a "date"? How much relationship drama is too much? And is jumping into bed with his thunderousness actually safe? Lauren also shares one of her big phobias.

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.
