Oh, hello dear listeners. This is let's talk about myths baby and I am Liv, your host and a woman who seriously loves making the entire

month of November spooky as hell which leads me straight into today's episode

now I know that last week I said up next would be an

episode on Penelope and don't get me wrong that will happen soon but for now

guys it's October and for the past two years of this podcast, I have dedicated October to ancient Greek mythology's spookier, more gruesome stories, and I don't want this year to be any different.

So we'll get back to Penelope in November, but for now it's

spooky gruesome times. Spooky is relative here.

Greek mythology is rarely spooky, but it sure can be violent and that's a fine

consolation for October.

Plus, who doesn't love a story about the importance of wine?

Now you may also be thinking, wait, didn't live tell this back-eye story like really early on in the podcast?

And the answer is yes, I kind of did. But honestly I look back on some of those early

episodes and I just did not do these stories justice. I was freshly learning this whole

storytelling thing, let alone the whole podcasting thing, and so I've decided that

eventually I will retell many of those very early stories simply because they

deserve more and you deserve to hear the full

stories and so we're starting with Euripides's back eye because my god this one

specifically I did not do it justice there is so much more to this play than I told you before.

So we're doing this one over, and better, way better.

This is episode 61, Punishingheus, the frantic and violent women of

Euripides's backeye, part one.

Dionysus, Bacchus as he's often called, everyone's favorite drunken God.
