Advertise on podcast: In Case You Mythed It

In this episode, we begin a new arc on In Case You Mythed It. A man with one sandal must assemble a crew of Greece's Mightiest Heroes in order to go steal some shiny wool from a land beyond the sea...

In this episode, which is quite long, we look into the story of Antigone, daughter of Oedipus and one of the most interesting, if tragic, women in all of Greek mythology, with a small detour into ancient Greek burial practices. And when its all over, we finally reach the end of the episodes on Thebes.

In which Atalanta is one of Greece's greatest heroines.

In this episode, after a long absence, we pick up where we left off in recounting the stories of the city of Thebes. When one of the sons of Oedipus steals the throne, seven champions step forward to attack the city on behalf of his spurned brother. Meanwhile, Oedipus meets his fate near Athens (though not without causing problems for all involved,) the blind prophet Tiresias remains blind (and a good prophet,) and a whole lot of Thebans and other Greeks die.

In this episode, we discuss the tragic story of King Oedipus, as recounted in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex. Patreon: patreon.com/incaseyoumythedit 

In this episode, Thebes gets its seven gates (and almost as many kings,) Mount Kithaeron appears twice as a place to get rid of unwanted infants, and an appearance by Zeus brings back the ding sound. Finally, a baby is born whose fate will eventually result in one of the most tragic stories of all time.

In this episode, we return to Cadmus and the city of Thebes, for the tale of the Bacchae, as told by Euripides.
