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.

Keeping Up with the Classics - Medusa

Maybe it's Maybelline, maybe it's the wrath of Athena: in this episode, we look at the tale of Medusa! We decided to take up a particular focus on Ovid’s portrayal of her - villain or victim? - and discuss the myth of Medusa and Perseus in some more depth. We also discuss the ramifications of petty godly power plays and the tactics used to punish women in antiquity for their beauty, along with references to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians franchise and Uma Thurman. We hope you enjoy it!
