You've heard their names in fleeting moments in well-known stories, ...The Sirens, the River Styx (who was actually a goddess, too), and The Amazons. But what happens to their stories when the spotlight of the heroes they're around disappears? And what about stories from other ancient cultures like the Etruscans or the nomadic tribes in the grassy steppes of the Black Sea?

This podcast is an attempt to share their stories and pick up where the ancient sources left off. It's a blend of non-fiction and fiction, from retellings to reimaginings to rewritings.  

I'm Monica Frederick, the host of Rewriting Myth. Every other Thursday, I'll share stories from myth, and stay as close to the ancient sources as possible while also keeping a special focus on what they say about these often overlooked women. Then, in a narrative episode, I'll rewrite their story, sharing their stories in their own words with you. 

These are the stories of Goddesses, Heroines, and monsters from Ancient Greece and beyond. Rewriting Myth comes out every other Thursday wherever you listen to podcasts.
