About Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold
The most entertaining and enraging stories from 'Classical' mythology (and, often, ancient history of the wider Mediterranean!) told casually, contemporarily, and (more often than not) sarcastically. The world of Greek mythology and the history of the wider ancient Mediterranean is full of wonder, horror, and utter hilarity. These myths and stories are timeless for a reason, they're just as relevant today as they were 2500+ years ago. With over 700 episodes and counting, we dive deep into the realm of gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Scripted myth and history episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday. LTAMB: The Oracle Edition (patreon.com/mythsbaby) has ad-free episodes and so much more. Learn more about the podcast, and Liv's work at mythsbaby.com (mythsbaby.com). Hosted on Acast.

Inside a recent episode
Remnants of Rage, the Forced Marriage of Thetis, and the Fateful Judgement of Paris
Published 6 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Though Thedas is mentioned in all sorts of very ancient sources, it isn't until much later that the details of her wedding appear in sources like Pindar's Odes that I mentioned, Like, in Hesiod, Thetis is named as one of the Nereids, and she's mentioned as the mother of Achilles, but there's no account of her relationship with his father, let alone the actual experience of her marriage. In the Iliad, though, the oldest surviving source for Thetis and everything else in Greek myth, she tells her side of the experience pretty clearly. She's speaking to Hephaestus at the time. She's desperate for a way to save Achilles' life, despite the prophecy that he's going to die there in Troy. […]
