Wine Can Make You Live Forever, My Mother Was Right! (Herodotus Bk 3, Part 1)
Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! | Greek Mythology & the Ancient MediterraneanShow Notes
Oh the wonders of Herodotus and his histories! We are back into book three of Herodotus' Histories and getting to experience the wonders of Cambyses doing his own invasions and attacks against others. How fun! In this episode there's wacky skull logic, old friend falling into destitution, travels to Carthage and Ethiopia, and also a god! Woo! (The audio is terrible, sorry... Michaela is recording at Liv's place and neither of them checked the settings appropriately before recording! Technology!) AVAILABLE NOW! The Odyssey: a Modern Retelling.
