Story 65: Thetis, Double-Dip the Baby!

"Thetis had to be always on her grind." Mythology has a lot of terrible dads. For once, let's talk about an excellent mother! Thetis did the MOST for her son, Achilles (even when she probably shouldn't). But as Darien (she/her) and DJ (he/him) learn, not even a goddess can save her son from a prophecy.  Other topics include Achilles having no chill, DJ's stance on the Ares v. Apollo Flying Chariot Conflict, Darien coming dangerously close to saying a popular myth retelling isn't good, and the mind-blowing connection between Thetis, Sally Jackson, and May Castellan. Spoilers for Lore Olympus,  Hades, Clash of the Titans (1981)Content Warning: Sexual assault, kidnapping, death, war, forced marriage, and grief. Quiz Mania (Girlfriend Edition) Bonus Episode up at Bunker 9: Patreon.com/musesofmythologyLearn more about Boise Pride at https://boisepridefest.org/About UsMuses of Mythology was created and co-hosted by Darien and DJ Smartt.Our music is Athens Festival by Martin Haene.
