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. This episode in particular (along with the next reading of the Thebaid) features the mourning of a young baby.

This is not a standard narrative story episode, it's a reading of an ancient source, audiobook style. For regular episodes look for any that don't have "Liv Reads..." in the title! For a list of Roman/Latin names and who they generally refer to in the Greek, visit: mythsbaby.com/names The three names for the Fates/Moirae are Clotho, Atropos, and Lachesis; the names of the Furies/Erinyes are Tisiphone, Megaera, and Alecto.

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.
