About Rebel Heroines
Celebrating the rebel heroines of the Greek myths and the women who write about them through original audio drama, poetry, book, theatre and film reviews and interviews with fellow fans. The somewhat toxic heroes of the ancient world take a step back as we delve into the stories of the women who shaped their destinies. If you like your myths seen through a feminist lens, enjoy inventive and relatable adaptations of the classics such as the novels of Natalie Haynes and Madeline Miller and agree that the original Clash of the Titans movie still rocks, this is the podcast for you. https://twitter.com/rebel_heroines Hosted on Acast.

Bonus Episode-Interview with Kym Deyn
Following on from Episode 9, exploring the gods and men of Greek Myth, in this bonus episode I interview poet Kym Deyn about their poetry collection Dionysia, "two pieces of not-quite history: the death of Alexander the Great and Odysseus’ adventures during the Trojan war. Two men for whom the truth is as fluid as water, and they are trapped inside the stories told about them." I also review the second installment in Claire North's The Songs of Penelope Trilogy: House of Odysseus and a beautiful narrative poem about Ariadne and the Minotaur, Bull Poppy Star.

In this bonus episode we revisit Demeter and Persephone through an interview with Matilda Leyser about her novel No Season but the Summer, retelling the myth in the modern world. I also review Savage Beasts, a retelling of Medea set in Calcutta when the East India Trading Company's reach is extending to engulf her land.

Episode Three: Persephone
Episode three focuses on Persephone, goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld and her mother Demeter, goddess of the harvest. I explore how her cyclic journey symbolises the cycles of the seasons and how this is intrinsically linked to the life cycles of women. Cycles which the modern world has distorted, yet it's through reconnecting with the divine feminine goddess energies that we can get that back. We also pop over to Ancient Egypt and meet Isis.

Episode Two: Medusa
In this episode, one of Greek myth’s most marginalised, misunderstood and demonised women is given the chance to tell her side of the story. Medusa was a mortal Gorgon cruelly treated by gods and men alike so her power could be weaponised. But does that make her a victim? Content warning-references to rape and violence against women.

Episode One: Ariadne
In this introductory episode I tell you about how I discovered Greek Mythology and what it means to me and we meet our first rebel heroine, my favourite: Ariadne. Princess of Crete, sister to the Minotaur, abandoned wife of Theseus and beloved wife of my favourite Greek god, Dionysus. I share some original poetry inspired by Ariadne and Dionysus and give you some great book recommendations to learn more about this extraordinary woman and how her story is still relevant to modern times, touching on themes of sexual awakening, empowerment, and embracing your wild side. Content warning: strong language, mild explicit content, references to violence towards women.
