Listen Later

Greek mythology is well known for its dramatic twists & turns.  So buckle up for the ride of your life with Clytemnestra, a Spartan princess born to King Tyndareus and Queen Leda. From potentially divine parentage to a tumultuous marriage with King Agamemnon, Clytemnestra's life is a web of deceit, betrayal, and revenge.  While history has painted her as a villain, a closer examination of her story reveals a woman navigating a world dictated by the whims of capricious gods and patriarchal power structures.


Mob history boasts big names: Al Capone, John Gotti, the list goes on.  But one woman transcended ranks to become a key player in the Chicago Outfit and rubbed shoulders with the rich and powerful.  Onie Virginia Hill, born on August 26, 1916 in small-town Alabama, swindled amongst the biggest & best in the mob scene.
