Summary

Liv reads Ovid's Metamorphoses (!!!), translated by Bookes More. In the first half of Book II, we hear the story of Phaethon's tragic experience driving the chariot of the sun.

CW/TW: Much of this work includes stories of gods assaulting women and nymphs, some of these stories can be particularly troubling. Listen with caution.

This is not a standard narrative story episode, it's a reading of an ancient source, audiobook style. For regular episodes look for any that don't have "Liv Reads..." in the title! For a list of Roman/Latin names and who they were in the Greek, visit: mythsbaby.com/names
