Hey, nerds, I'm just here with a quick bit of news.

It's happening.

Highlights include following in Ariadne's footsteps as she flees the dreaded Theseus.

Music The Hello, this is let's talk about Mitz, baby, and I am your host, Live, here with another reading episode of The Odyssey.

And, well, let's be honest, this week has been a week.

You know, the president threatened to annihilate an entire civilization and nobody's stopping him.

So I, and you know's it's too much and so i say all of that because i'm just going to read this one straight i also only have i think maybe one question

and it's about just a later period of the Odyssey anyway that I need to answer.

So please send in your questions for future Odyssey episodes, especially since now this episode

we're going to finally reach our hero.

And remember, heroes in the ancient Greek world and in its mythology really were people who went on these

kinds of epic quests and did various things, but they are not meant to be inherently good or

generally benevolent people. But we will meet our hero today, and so I'm hoping that

elicit some interesting questions for you all.

So please send those in either in the Spotify comments or via the website, Mythdabby.com

slash questions.

And so because I don't have any of those today and also the, you know, it is the first week of april 2026 if you're listening from the future

um anyway in in that case i'm just going to go ahead and and just do this straight reading we're

going to escape we're going to escape to ancient Greece today.

I laugh because it's all the same.

It's all the same over and over and over again.

But at least Odysseus is far removed from our current lived reality.
