Narcissus

Jan 20 2025 34 mins  
We recorded this shortly after the 2024 US election results but, as it took some time to edit, we decided to post on inauguration day. In a time when self-absorbed billionaires have taken control of government, this episode's topic feels particularly relevant. Story begins | 2:00 Story ends | 6:20 This episode we will be reading from: Metamorphoses, by Ovid. Translation by Ma

Eros and Psyche

Dec 07 2024 58 mins  
This episode departs from the physicality of Hercules' deeds to discuss a more spiritual tale of love. Eros and Psyche is in many ways a story in opposition to Hercules. For while he remains emotionally unchanged by the end of his tale, the very core of this love story is emotional development.

Hercules

Nov 20 2024 42 mins  
In this episode we discuss the story of Hercules, the strongest man and perhaps the most well known of Greek heroes. While folks are probably familiar with general highlights of his story, many of the finer details may be surprising. After consuming the entirety of his legend, it's hard to call it anything else but tragic. Story begins | 2:30 Story ends | 16:55 This season we will

We bring you our first story episode of season 2! No pantheon is without its creation story and it seemed an obvious place to start for our season of Greek mythology.

Introducing the Greek Pantheon

Feb 01 2024 51 mins  
Our first episode of season 2! In a way this is episode 0 because it is an introduction to the members of the Greek pantheon and some of our opinions on them. This season we will be reading from: ⁠⁠Mythology by Edith Hamilton Our intro/outro music a sample of Seikilos Epitaph with the Lyre of Apollo, by Lina Palera, under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Internati

Briar Rose - Awakening and Transformation

Our final episode of season 1 is a story near and dear to Raisa.

The story is from ⁠Household Tales by Brothers Grimm⁠ and is read starting at 7:19 and ending at 15:25. Adina also recommends: ⁠The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales⁠ (P

The story is Little Red Cap this time, better known as Little Red Riding Hood. We discuss such topics as the 3 faces of the Great Mother, the nature of wolves, and of course our good friend Trickster. Please note that there is also some discussion of rape in this episode, if that is something that will upset you, this may be one to skip. The story is from Household Tales by Brother

After an unplanned hiatus, we're back! Snow White is one of the most recognized fairy tale stories and characters but, as usual, not many people are familiar with the Grimm version. Part one centers around Archetypal Evil and how it taints those who come into contact with it.  The story is from Household Tales by Brothers Grimm and is read starting at 6:24 and ending at 24:55.

Hansel and Grethel - Fear and Resilience
