In Keeping Up with the Classics, your hosts Maddie and Farabee delve into a variety of our favourite myths and focus on some of the most complex and fascinating female characters these myths have to offer. Spanning from academic topics to modern-day parallels with a thorough, yet humorous, eye, we hope to provide light-hearted entertainment as we explore what is often perceived as a subject far removed from the modern world.

In today’s slightly unusual episode, we take a break from Greek mythology to discuss the myth of Dido from Virgil’s ‘Aeneid’ with our special guest, Louisa. We talk about whether each of us are Team Dido or Team Aeneas and who is to blame for Dido’s demise. We also look to the suicides of Antigone, Ophelia and Juliet, before honing in on the insanity of Bertha Rochester from Charlotte Brontë’s ‘Jane Eyre’ (with some minor references to Frozen). We hope you enjoy!
