Episode 6: The Uses of Greek Myth, Pt. 1

What this episode covers

In this episode, we hear summaries of three myths (Daphne, Theseus and the Minotaur, and Hippolytos) on our way to thinking about what Greek myth is, whether we can define it, and how. We invite some other scholars to take part and offer their views as to how to define Greek myth. In the end, we find ourselves throwing up our hands in an attempt to corral this wide-ranging set of stories into a nice, neat box.
