Today, the Argonauts lose one of their biggest allies by accident, then do some boxing.

In this episode, we begin a new arc on In Case You Mythed It. A man with one sandal must assemble a crew of Greece's Mightiest Heroes in order to go steal some shiny wool from a land beyond the sea...

In this episode, which is quite long, we look into the story of Antigone, daughter of Oedipus and one of the most interesting, if tragic, women in all of Greek mythology, with a small detour into ancient Greek burial practices. And when its all over, we finally reach the end of the episodes on Thebes.

In which Atalanta is one of Greece's greatest heroines.

In this episode, after a long absence, we pick up where we left off in recounting the stories of the city of Thebes. When one of the sons of Oedipus steals the throne, seven champions step forward to attack the city on behalf of his spurned brother. Meanwhile, Oedipus meets his fate near Athens (though not without causing problems for all involved,) the blind prophet Tiresias remains blind (and a good prophet,) and a whole lot of Thebans and other Greeks die.

In this episode, we discuss the tragic story of King Oedipus, as recounted in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex.
