LXXVII: Aegeus Wants an Heir, Not a War With Minos & Another Tragic Scylla
Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold - A podcast by Liv Albert and iHeartPodcasts
King Aegeus of Athens goes looking for an heir and he gets on in the most troubling of ways. King Minos wages war against Attica, creating another tragic Scylla.
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.
