"Discovered" in 2005, you might be inclined to discount this planetary body which demoted Pluto due, in part, to the work of self-described Pluto killer, Mike Brown. The mythology of this dwarf planet is fascinating and important. She plays the key role in igniting the Trojan War and is also responsible, according to the poet Hesiod, for the turning of the natural world on one day when the sun rose in the West and set in the East. What was happening around 2005 and is there a connection to these stories? In this episode, recorded for Andre's channel in 2022, we argue that there is. And it's a strong one. We felt we could not improve on our exploration from last year and so we leave you with this conversation about the warrior goddess and what her "discovery" portends for us all.
