About this listen

In Episode 2 of More Queer Nymphs, Clare M Coombe explores the story of Callisto, exploring themes of power-abuse and metamorphosis. Raped by Zeus, made pregnant, rejected by Artemis and her chosen family, and transformed into a bear: this episode views the myth as a metaphor for complicity in abuse of women and loss of bodily autonomy.
