Re-Broadcast: Mini Myth: It’s Circe Not Cersei, One’s a Badass Witch & the Other’s a Badass B****

In this re-broadcasting of the Circe Mini Myth I cover two of the stories involving Circe, and talk a bit about Madeline Miller's book. Thanks for your patience during this re-air of an old episode, I'll be back with more Odyssey next week, once I've regained some energy and sanity!

A general mythology warning: far too many Greek myths involve assaulting women. I'm sorry, that's just the way it is. 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.
