  • Circe in The Odyssey
    Sep 4 2022

    Elle and Court continue their exploration of The Odyssey by discussing the witch-goddess Circe! They've dubbed her the A.G. (Actual Goddess) because they can't seem to call her anything more creative. Except for Court calling Circe a furry. Moral of the story here: maybe don't trust that lone house in the woods that offers tantalizing treats.

    *Sound quality is much better here! Except your hosts struggled with pronouncing some pretty common words. Enjoy!
