LXXXII: What Kind of Hero Abandons a Princess on an Island!? (Theseus Part 3)

Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold - A podcast by Liv Albert and iHeartPodcasts

Categories:

CW/TW: suicide, and as usual, 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.
