You're going to. And the Hello, this is, let's talk about myths baby, and I am your host to live here with the conversation

episode, the last conversation episode in the Euripides series and we're going out with a bang.

So the story behind this conversation is that it wasn't originally planned to be part of the series.

Michaela and I had been planning the Eripeti series for a while and we had all these guests

worked out.

And then when I was in Greece, I hung out for not even 48 hours with Kossi of Kossi's Odyssey over on

Instagram and Substack and a ton of other places and Kossi and I I mean among other unhinged rants we talked about her

master's thesis which aligned very perfectly to what I was writing at the time, the story to come, but also was aligned very well with

Euripides. I am talking this in circles. We today are talking about the concept of spurag moss, but spurag moss very, and I will explain,

spurag moss very specifically in Euripides' back eye, but as depicted visually.

Master's theses are always very specific like that,

but what it ends up turning into

is a conversation about, I mean, Euripides,

but specifically Pentheus and his Sparagmus which is the word for a kind of

ritual tearing apart that happens to Pentheus at the end of Backeye and it was depicted in art of the

ancient world and Kossi studied it and we had so much fun.

This is also very much a conversation between friends in the greatest possible way.

I might go too hard in my support for your liberties and have to rein myself back in because sometimes

I need to remember that

East Coast and Sophocles are good too.

With that out of the way, oh my good, please join me for this spectacularly gory.

Oh, and that reminds me this spectacularly gory,
