Maybe it's Maybelline, maybe it's the wrath of Athena: in this episode, we look at the tale of Medusa! We decided to take up a particular focus on Ovid’s portrayal of her - villain or victim? - and discuss the myth of Medusa and Perseus in some more depth. We also discuss the ramifications of petty godly power plays and the tactics used to punish women in antiquity for their beauty, along with references to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians franchise and Uma Thurman. We hope you enjoy it!
