RE-AIR: Conversations: Who Really is Hephaestus? Disability in Greek Myth w/ Kyle Lewis Jordan (Part 1)

The most entertaining and enraging stories from &#39;Classical&#39; mythology (and, often, ancient history of the wider Mediterranean!) told casually, contemporarily, and (more often than not) sarcastically. The world of Greek mythology and the history of the wider ancient Mediterranean is full of wonder, horror, and utter hilarity.

With over 700 episodes and counting, we dive deep into the realm of gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between.Find bonus content and ad-free listening on Patreon and learn more about Liv&#39;s work and her books at mythsbaby.com.
