No Boys Allowed! Celebrating Demeter&Persephone, Aristophanes’ Women of the Thesmophoria (Part 1) - a podcast by Liv, Greek Mythology Geek

It's time for a bit of comedic relief (and Euripidean slander)... We're diving in to Aristophanes' play the Thesmophoriazae/the Women at the Thesmophoria. It's got women (kind of!)! It's got a women's only festival! It's got Euripides! This one has it all. 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.
