Hanging Out in the Halls of the Dread Go...

Liv Albert
About this episode

Odysseus and his men stay with Circe on Aiaia, before being given some advice on how best to get home to Ithaca from the dead.

 

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.

 

Sources: The Odyssey, translated by Emily Wilson.
