Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! | Greek Mythology & the Ancient Mediterranean The Gods Were All A Little Gay, Representation in Mythology (w/ Myths & Tits)
It's here: 2020's Pride special. Greek mythology loves a gay story, a queer story, a trans story. The long, long list of LGBTQIA stories from the ancient Greek world are covered. Plus, Liv has a wonderful and hilarious conversation with Mari Phillips of Myths & Tits, stunning art devoted to representation in mythology. Check out Myths & Tits on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mythsntits/.
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.

Mini Myth: The Olympians Put the B in LGBTQ+, A Pride Compendium
