Children Make For A Very Impious Meal (Seneca’s Thyestes Part 3)

Om avsnittet

The finale of Seneca's Thyestes is just... horror, from start to finish. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. And this one features *graphic* infanticide and cannibalism... 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.

Sources: Seneca's Thyestes, primarily the version translation by Emily Wilson with long passages quoted from the Frank Justus Miller.
