The Heroines of Thebes, Jocasta & Antigone (The Phoenician Women Part Two)

Om avsnittet

The life of Jocasta after the tragedy of her marriage to Oedipus continues with more tragedy in the city of Thebes.

CW/TW: death by suicide; and 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: Euripides' The Phoenician Women, two translations used: Elizabeth Wickoff and Cecelia Luschnig (quotes from Luschnig); Pandora's Jar by Natalie Haynes.
