Evil or Righteous? Manipulative or Brilliant? Wronged Women of Mythology

In the first episode of International Women's Month, stories of the many women wronged by history and mythology. Jocasta, Medea, Medusa, Helen, Andromeda, Clytemnestra, and Penelope.

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.

Past episodes on Medea, here, here, and here. On Medusa here, here, and here.
