Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby

Greek and Roman myths, the classics and the lesser-known, are retold by a feminist millennial who is both obsessed with the stories, and eager to point out the more problematic aspects. The myths are told in a casual, contemporary, and blunt way by the very passionate, and at times rant-y, myth obsessed Liv.
