When Poisoned Shirts Have Got You Down, Deianeira&the Women of Trachis (Heracles&Sophocles’ Trachiniae Part 2) - a podcast by Liv, Greek Mythology Geek

In the finale of the Trachiniae series, Deianeira deals with what she has inadvertently done, and Heracles finally returns to Trachis.

CW/TW: Suicide, and, 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.
