You're going to be. And the Hi, hello welcome. This is Let's Talk About Myths, baby, and this is the third time that I have

recorded this introduction because I keep being completely incapable of staying, sounding like a rational human being who people would want to listen to.

I'm live, I'm the host and normally I'm completely hinged but right now everything in my life is bad and

everything in the world is so much worse so we're just all having a time but

thankfully thankfully at the third time recording this, I'm going to keep that horror, to minimum.

Today I am here with the first episode in Women's History Month episodes, which I mean with the state of things, what's the point? But they do give me a theme. They give me something to work off of. I talk about women in this podcast in every

Euana has written a novel about Demeter, but like the Demeter that I didn't know I needed, an angry, angry Demeter.

I think the Demeter we all need right now, the feminine rage Demeter.

And we had just the most fun talking about Demeter as a character about Iuana's novel, Winter Harvest.

I mean, Demeter is fucking wonderful.

And if you didn't already gather from her name, I wanta Greek she's from Thessaloniki and so we also just talked about

Greece culture writing Greek mythology as a Greek. It's important that we also have Greek voices in this realm.

It's incredibly important. The more retellings the better, but the more retell while we've all been able to kind of like
