The bloody, gruesome finale to Euripides' last play: Bacchae. CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing. Sources: Bacchae, translated by Emily Wilson from The Greek Plays new translations edited by Mary Lefkowitz and James Romm, Bacchae and Other Plays translated by James Morwood, and Bakkhai translated by Anne Carson. Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: <a href="http://mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions</a>.<hr> Hosted on Acast.

Ripping Your Family to Shreds, Euripides’ Bacchae (Part 2)

The most entertaining and enraging stories from 'Classical' mythology (and, often, ancient history of the wider Mediterranean!) told casually, contemporarily, and (more often than not) sarcastically. The world of Greek mythology and the history of the wider ancient Mediterranean is full of wonder, horror, and utter hilarity. These myths and stories are timeless for a reason, they're just as relevant today as they were 2500+ years ago. With over 700 episodes and counting, we dive deep into the realm of gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday. <a href="patreon.com/mythsbaby" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LTAMB: The Oracle Edition</a> has ad-free episodes and so much more. Learn more about the podcast, and Liv's work, including her book Greek Mythology: the Gods, Goddess, and Heroes Handbook at <a href="mythsbaby.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mythsbaby.com</a>.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
