Today's re-aired episode is PURE DELIGHTFUL NONSENSE! This episode originally aired in Jul 2023...
Diving deeper into the story of Bellerophon, the perpetually forgotten hero who defeated the absolutely magnificent Chimera (and was the only hero to actually ride Pegasus!). Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!
CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
Sources: Theoi entries on Bellerophon; ToposText entries on Bellerophon, Pegasus, and the Chimera. Quote from Palaephatus, translated by John Brady Kiesling is from Topos Text. Early Greek Myths by Timothy Gantz.
