This week, we take a well-known myth and turn it on its (snake) head. Everyone knows Medusa\u2019s image and ability to turn people to stone, but we dive into her tragic origins and fearsome legacy. Also featuring translation issues, our favorite fictional pigs, and the do\u2019s and don'ts of Greek dating. Our first ever sponsor is Central Curios! Listener Aaron produces gorgeous, handmade, one-of-a-kind wands that all come with certificates explaining that wand\u2019s unique lore. Check him out on Instagram @CentralCurios, and send him a message on his website to place an order. Mention Spirits for 10% off! And as mentioned, here are some deeply cool  dinosaur skull earrings.
