The most entertaining and enraging stories from mythology told casually, contemporarily, and (let's be honest) sarcastically. Greek and Roman gods did some pretty weird (and awful) things. Liv focuses on Greek and Roman mythology's (mis)treatment of women, the wild things the gods did, and the all around incredible minds of the ancient world. Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday.

Liv reads Book 3 of the Fall of Troy, translated by AS Way. After the death of Penthesilea, Memnon, and the Greek Antilochus, Apollo takes his anger out on Achilles. <a href="http://www.patreon.com/mythsbaby">Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!</a>
This is not a standard narrative story episode, it's a reading of an ancient source, audiobook style. For regular episodes look for any that don't have "Liv Reads..." in the title!

Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold

Liv Reads Quintus Smyrnaeus: The Fall of Troy (Part 4)

Revisiting the silliest epic of them all... We all know the famed battle of Achaean and Trojans, but what about the equally epic battle between the Frogs and the Mice?
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.
