We hope you’re feeling as divinely inspired as we are in this episode about the Muses! We dive into their origins, their idiosyncrasies, and the role they play in both Ancient Greek society and our society today (and invent some of our own!)

Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of colonialism, racism, death, murder, body horror, incest, pregnancy/birth, and war.
