Mini Myth: When a Girl Loves a Girl, Ovid’s Iphis & Ianthe

In the second Mini Myth of Women's History Month, I tell you the story of Iphis and Ianthe. 

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.
