It's time for our first ever Roman tragedy... Seneca's Medea is mouthier, angrier, and even more vengeful than Euripides, and I'm here for it.  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.

Sources: Seneca's Medea, Oxford Classics edition translated by Emily Wilson; Seneca's Medea translated by Frank Justus Miller. Check out the Spotify playlist on past episodes featuring Medea and Jason, including the story that leads to when this play takes place.

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. Liv focuses on Greek and Roman mythology's (mis)treatment of women, the wild things the gods did, and the all around incredible minds of the ancient world. Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday.
