RE-AIR: Conversations: So Are They Cousi...

Liv Albert
About this episode

It's always a good time to revisit Achilles and Patroclus... This episode originally aired in June 2023. Liv speaks with PhD student Charlotte Gregory about all things Achilles and Patroclus, their relationship, and how modern Classical reception depicts their love, cousin or otherwise. Follow Charlotte on Twitter. Submit your question for the next Q&A via email or a voice note. Get ad-free episodes and so, so much more, by subscribing to the Oracle Edition at patreon.com/mythsbaby

CW/TW: 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.
