Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! | Greek Mythology & the Ancient Mediterranean

Mini Myth: The Olympians Put the B in LGBTQ+, A Pride Compendium


Listen Later

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.
