About this episode

Join us this week for a Takeover episode with Christie Vogler of Movies We Dig and Hermes a.k.a Michaela Pangowish who get together to discuss all those gods we have come to know in Myth in Netflix's KAOS. We discuss Zeus and all his beautiful Jeff Goldblum ways, the marvels and horrors of Hera, and of course, our favourite party god, Dionysus. 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. I try to provide direct warnings when there is reference to anything with overtly traumatic themes but be aware that Greek mythology regularly features assault, death, and many other potentially triggering events.
