CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Happy Pride! This episode is a combination of three past episodes featuring the invulnerable and AFAB hero, Caeneus. Featuring this conversation with Stephanie McCarter, translator of Ovid's Metamorphoses, this episode from 2023, and this conversation with Joe Watson, author of the article used in 2023 and linked below! Now more than ever we should remember (and have evidence!) that being trans and seeking gender affirmation has always existed... Hate the Patriarchy, love trans people!

Liv speaks with historian Dr Jane Draycott about Fulvia of ancient Rome, a woman at the centre of the fall of the Roman Republic... Unsurprisingly the conversation became something wider, looking at ancient women more broadly. Plus, we rant about the patriarchy, because it deserves it. Find more about Jane's new book Fulvia: the Woman Who Broke All the Rules in Ancient Rome and Jane's work more broadly. For reference, this episode was recorded at the end of April 2025.
