Yes, you saw that right. Having been resurrected from the dead (no thanks to Boris Johnson), we are back with another episode at long last. This time, we broadened our focus from a mythological woman to an entire goddess: Persephone! We turned to the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, evaluated just how 'bad' of a person Hades is in comparison to other male gods (*cough* Zeus), Farabee had a tirade in defence of Demeter being wrongly cast as the archetypal 'over-bearing' mother, and we even talked about the doomed romance of Orpheus and Eurydice. Ranging from the musical 'Hadestown' to discussing the lens which Christianity lends to a modern audience’s perception of Hades (is he the devil incarnate?), this is a chaotic and much-anticipated episode. We hope you enjoy! 

TW: kidnapping; mass murder.
