BTW 63: Sirens, Medusa, and the Beings of the Underworld with Liz Andres
Between the Worlds Podcast
What Are Harpies?
Some versions of the myths, especially the roman literature, say that they washed up on the shores of naples and southern italy. But as far as i can tell, there isn't any archaeological evidence for that. They're not really ever seen as helpers. There's a few examples of grave reliefs where they may be harpies on them, but usually they're sirens. So maybe they did play a role in some of those things, and we just don't know, cause we know so little about what transpired.
Today we have a special treat for you in our conversation with museum scholar Liz Andres wherein we discuss:
- Liminal Beings, those mythical creatures who dwell between the worlds, of life and death, above and below, in the wilds and in the human realms.
- hybrid creatures, half human half animal, like the Sirens or Medusa, or the randy adventurous Centaurs of yore
- beings that break through binaries - disrupters who destabilize the reality we thought we knew all too well
- magical holders of the mystery traditions
- and embodiments of the unknowable and the beyond.
Sounds delicious, right? Join us!
