The first of a grim pair of episodes depicting filicide within Greek myths. We piece together the story of Agamemnon's sacrificing Iphigenia for favorable winds - and the fallout of such action after the war. All this with an eye for how the choices parents make either support or harm the parents' individuation.

We recorded this shortly after the 2024 US election results but, as it took some time to edit, we decided to post on inauguration day. In a time when self-absorbed billionaires have taken control of government, this episode's topic feels particularly relevant.

This episode departs from the physicality of Hercules' deeds to discuss a more spiritual tale of love. Eros and Psyche is in many ways a story in opposition to Hercules. For while he remains emotionally unchanged by the end of his tale, the very core of this love story is emotional development.

In this episode we discuss the story of Hercules, the strongest man and perhaps the most well known of Greek heroes. While folks are probably familiar with general highlights of his story, many of the finer details may be surprising. After consuming the entirety of his legend, it's hard to call it anything else but tragic.
