Story 74: Pandora Should Get to Punch Hesiod (with Quinn Albert)

“Hesiod definitely didn’t have a problem with women.” Pandora gets blamed for everything. Literally, Hesiod decided the first human woman is responsible for every bad thing in the world. Quinn Albert (she/her) joins the podcast to discuss the terrifying implications of stories that blame women for the suffering of men. Also, charm bracelets! Topics include Hesiod’s account from the worst side of TikTok, Hermes’ incredible epitaph, justice for the goddess Pandora, the insidious plot to erase or depower the most ancient goddesses, the chaos one unleashes when they gift a charm bracelet, and a re-evaluation of the most famous “mistranslation” in Western literature.Find more of Quinn!The Monstrous Woman Pod: https://linktr.ee/themonstrouswomanpodOnQuinnsAndNeedles Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onquinnsandneedles/ Spoilers for Borderlands, Doctor Who, Once Upon a Time, Danny Phantom, Halo, and DC Comics: RebirthContent Warning: This episode contains mentions of and conversations about animal sacrifice, imprisonment, sexism, misogyny, violence against women, sexual assault, and forced marriage.
