Liv reads Ovid's Heroides, letter from Deianeira to Hercules, translated by Grant Showerman, and Ovid's Metamorphoses, selection from Book 9, translated by Brookes More. Looking at the story of Deianeira and Hercules (because, Roman) from Ovid's perspective both through the words of Deianeira, and the full story as it appears in the Metamorphoses.

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!
