In Part 2 of this rich and emotional conversation, Swati Bhise and her son revisit the legendary women of mythology—not as symbols or cautionary tales, but as human beings shaped by power, injustice, and resilience. From the beauty and blame placed on Helen of Troy, to the rage and revenge of Clytemnestra, to the pain and dignity of Draupadi and Sita, they explore how women have long carried the burdens of others’ choices. Drawing powerful parallels between Greek and Indian stories, this episode reflects on how myth mirrors society, and why it's time we listen to the women behind the legends. A conversation about empathy, history, and reclaiming what was never truly lost.

In this powerful episode of The Warrior Queen Project, Swati Bhise is joined by her son Aditya Bhise to unravel stories of women in mythology. From the misunderstood figure of Medusa to the infamous Pandora, the conversation weaves through Greek, Roman, and Indian mythology, highlighting how narratives of women have been shaped, vilified, and erased over time. They explore Medusa’s true origin as a priestess and victim of injustice, contrast her with the Indian snake goddess Manasa Devi, and draw rich parallels between Pandora and Sandhya, the first women in their respective mythologies. With insights from both Western literature and Indian Puranic tradition, this dialogue challenges mainstream interpretations and celebrates the resilience, complexity, and divinity of women in myth and history.
