About this listen

In this powerful episode of The Warrior Queen Project, Swati Bhise is joined by her son Aditya Bhise to unravel stories of women in mythology. From the misunderstood figure of Medusa to the infamous Pandora, the conversation weaves through Greek, Roman, and Indian mythology, highlighting how narratives of women have been shaped, vilified, and erased over time. They explore Medusa’s true origin as a priestess and victim of injustice, contrast her with the Indian snake goddess Manasa Devi, and draw rich parallels between Pandora and Sandhya, the first women in their respective mythologies. With insights from both Western literature and Indian Puranic tradition, this dialogue challenges mainstream interpretations and celebrates the resilience, complexity, and divinity of women in myth and history.
