S11E9 - Cadmus' Guide to Getting Cursed

Greeking Out from National Geographic Kids

Show Notes

Oh Muses! Allow us to reflect on the mistakes of Cadmus and his whole cursed family. We encounter the death of a majestic snake-dragon, the loss of a beloved sister, people throwing themselves into the sea, passive aggressive communication, gods making people insane, and someone gets ripped to pieces. Kind of a lot of grizzly deaths in this episode, folks.
