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: Sources are referenced in the original episode, Mini Myth: Kind, Noble Theseus, His Herd of Pegasi & the Defeat of the Kraken (April 2021), and All I Really Want Is To Talk About the Fire-Breathing Goat… Bellerophon, Pegasus, and the Chimera (July 2023). [Spoilers: the first one has no sources because it's all a bad joke!].
