Mini Myth: Revisiting Plato's Soulmates & Pyramus and Thisbe

In this episode we revisit the past episodes on Plato's theory of soulmates from his Symposium, and the story of Pyramus and Thisbe, the original Romeo and Juliet.

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.

Sources: Plato's Symposium, Ovid's Metamorphoses (see original episodes for translations).
