About this episode

Welcome back for a slightly late part two of a KAOS Takeover episode with Michaela Pangowish, Christie Vogler, and special guest Anastasia Pantazopoulou. This time we talked about all the mortals bouncing around in the series, from our deep love of Caeneus to our fascination with Orpheus (what is he even doing?), and all the moms we met along the way.

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.
