About this listen

Liv speaks with expert Katherine Backler about all the lives and lore of the very REAL women of ancient Athens, from the the beautifully mundane to the righteously remembered. Katherine is the author of a new book on the lives of Athenian women, Athena's Sisters. This is the (incredible!) pot mentioned that features all things women weaving.

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.
