No Boys Allowed! Celebrating Demeter & Persephone, Aristophanes’ Women of the Thesmophoria (Part 1)
Manage episode 356571144 series 2893998
It's time for a bit of comedic relief (and Euripidean slander)... We're diving in to Aristophanes' play the Thesmophoriazae/the Women at the Thesmophoria. It's got women (kind of!)! It's got a women's only festival! It's got Euripides! This one has it all. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!
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.
