This was like stepping into a time machine. I’ve always loved Greek mythology, but this listen revealed stories I’d never heard before real history, not just the famous gods and heroes.

One tale about a lesser-known female philosopher really resonated with me it reminded me of how women’s voices have shaped history, even if they’re often left out.
