Storytime with Stephanie

SEASON FINALE: The myth of Eros and Psyche is probably one of the best love stories in classical mythology. Eros, son of Aphrodite, was the personification of intense love desire and he was depicted throwing arrows to people in order to hit their heart and make them fall in love. Psyche, a beautiful maiden, personifies the human soul. In fact, she is the symbol of the soul purified by passions and misfortunes and who is, from now on, prepared to enjoy eternal happiness. Eros = the original loverboi!!

Pandora’s Box is one of the most intense and descriptive myths of behaviour in humans in Greek mythology. This tale was used to teach them about human weakness and to explain the many misfortunes of MEN. Because one thing about men? They can kill. Enjoy!

An iconic and very misunderstood babe who we should stan. Medusa was a Gorgon who was essentially villainised for being sexually assaulted by Poseidon, and unfortunately went down in history as a seductive, evil monster. But she isn't. But....misogyny innit? *shakes fist* Let's get into her story.

Goddess of war!! Practical reason!! HANDICRAFT! A diabolical Queen who lived for the drama. Let's get into her story.

The finale of the season baybeeee! I hope you enjoy ths version of Beauty and the Beast, and I look forward to seeing you all again next year for season two!!

In celebration(?) of us moving into Aries season, I present to you the story of Ares, the God of War. He was a messy, petty, violent, annoying bitch who lived for DRAMA. Whew. Enjoy.

One thing about our good sis Aphrodite? That woman could LOVE, okay?? And unfortunately, it would be to her detriment. It's a heartbreaking story of the origin of two flowers – the red rose and the anemone. Happy listening (and sleeping!)
