What happened to our goddesses and grandmothers? Meet Max Dashu, founder of Suppressed History Archives, who since 1970 has been compiling one of the most comprehensive cross-cultural collections of documentation on female heritage throughout human history. Her research digs into archeological records, petroglyphs, paintings, iconography, orature, and other visual testimonies to women as culture makers and agents for the earth. Listen as we unpack her newest work, Women in Greek Mythography: Pithias, Melissae and Titanides, and learn about oracular women and priestess traditions that preceded the Olympian pantheon.

We explore ancient manifestations of snake women, bird women, bee women – not as portends of trickery, but as portals of truths and divine forces of nature. She traces the way sexual politics and patriarchal representations limited what female forms and their stories could be: as sacral, venerated, lifegiving potency.
