About this listen

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.


Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday. LTAMB: The Oracle Edition has ad-free episodes and so much more. Learn more about the podcast, and Liv's work, including her book Greek Mythology: the Gods, Goddess, and Heroes Handbook at mythsbaby.com.

    CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Fantastic, love to listen often. Gave me a much better understanding of Greek mythology. I enjoy the host and her perspective on the obvious sexism of Greek myth.

Liv tells the tales of Greek mythology in a way that's fun, engaging and easy to understand even when some are so convoluted and confusing. She also makes amazing commentary and parallels to modern day issues and trends in a way that is refreshing. 10/10

Amazing and Engaging

This is the best mythology podcast I've listened to by far. The host (Liv) has done so much research for us to be able to hear this podcast. they are even going out of her way to elaborate on older episodes! Honestly that's one of my favorite things about this podcast. Most do one episode on a specific thing and then it's done forever.

there is one thing that I miss about their early days though, the occasional cat cameo. That being said Liv is undoubtedly better now then they were then. I wish you all the luck and hard work Liv

Also if you are reading this review please go buy her book (and maybe her cocktail book too when it comes out)

A wonderful look into an interesting past
