I am very happy to share this conversation with literary critic Eleni Giamarellou (@ElenGiamm). Join us as we dive into the exciting and terrifying world of classical mythology. Eleni's work pays special attention to the story of the Furies, goddesses of vengeance. We also discuss Aeschylus, a giant figure in greek tragedy, ritual, divinity as well as some other fascinating scholars in the field. Enjoy!
