Hermes Historia is a new series hosted by Liv and Michaela, brief lessons in ancient history. In the future the series will be exclusive to supporters of the show (more on that soon!) but we're releasing the first few episodes on the main feed... First up, the history of ancient theatre. Submit your questions to the quarterly Q&A episodes!

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.

Sources: Theatre in Ancient Greek Society by JR Green;The Context of Ancient Drama by Eric and William J. Slater. Herodotus' The Histories, translated by Robin Waterfield.

The most entertaining and enraging stories from mythology told casually, contemporarily, and (let's be honest) sarcastically. Greek and Roman gods did some pretty weird (and awful) things. Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday.
