Description
The *official* 100th episode is here! Sing, Muses, of the Oracle, the woman who held the fates of the Greeks in her hands. And of yourselves, the women who give us the arts and all its wonders. 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: Theoi.com; Hesiod's Theogony and the Homeric Hymns translated by Hugh Evelyn White; The Oracle: Ancient Delphi and the Science Behind its Lost Secrets by William J. Broad; quotes from: The Iliad translated by Caroline Alexander, The Odyssey translated by Emily Wilson. All other quotes found and sourced on Theoi.com under Muses.
