VIII: Don't Mess with the Oracle, Just Don't Do It. Why Would You Do It? (Oedipus Part One)

Oedipus, famous for the awful advice of the Oracle and nothing more. Part One covers the aforementioned Oracle, and a little encounter with a sphinx and a father.

Om Podcasten

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.
