Description
The first of a grim pair of episodes depicting filicide within Greek myths. We piece together the story of Agamemnon’s sacrificing Iphigenia for favorable winds – and the fallout of such action after the war. All this with an eye for how the choices parents make either support or harm the parents’ individuation.
This episode we will be reading from Mythology, by Edith Hamilton. The following are also referenced in this episode:
Mercury Rising: Women, Evil and the Trickster Gods – by Deldon Anne McNeely
The Red Book: Liber Novus – by C.G. Jung
Our intro/outro music a sample of Seikilos Epitaph with the Lyre of Apollo, by Lina Palera, under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 International License. You can find the full version at FreeMusicArchive.org.
