Dive into the haunting tales of women from the Underworld in Homer's Odyssey, exploring the contrasting fates of Clytemnestra and Penelope. Discover how these female figures illuminate themes of power and agency, especially in their fateful encounters with divinities. The discussion also weaves in contemporary adaptations, including a children's musical interpretation, emphasizing the ongoing relevance of these ancient narratives. Engage with the tragic yet empowering stories of figures like Tyro and Jocasta, resonating with modern conversations about gender.

Join Christie Vogler, host of Movies We Dig, as she takes the helm to unpack the fascinating connections between Epic the Musical and the Odyssey. The discussion dives into Odysseus's dualities as both hero and monster, exploring how modern adaptations portray complex characters like Achilles. They share laughs while analyzing the emotional depth of the musical's songs, particularly 'No Longer You.' There's a thought-provoking look at women's roles in these ancient tales and the critical importance of examining their narratives in contemporary culture.

Liv's off to the UK and realized she's never covered Boudicca! Presenting episode 1 of Ancient History Fangirl's 2021 series on Britain's warrior queen. The story of Boudicca’s revolt is as epic as you can get. It’s got murder and pillage, Romans behaving badly, cities on fire, and a layer of destruction that was scorched into the earth. But it's also the story of a people on a precipice of great change.Who was Boudicca? Who was this iron-age warrior queen who stood up to the Romans—and whose name was so revered and feared that stories of her are still being spun almost 2,000 years later? In this episode, we’re going to find out. Here's a Spotify playlist featuring all of AHFG's episodes on Boudicca and Roman Britain.Submit your question for the next Q&A via email or a voice note.
