Labyrinth

Labyrinth

In our own winding little way, we like to take you on grand tours of words, their meanings, and where they come from. Which is especially true of this episode as we make our way through a labyrinth of history and mythology.

You might be familiar with the stories of Greek mythology in a general way, but we bet we can still manage to tell you a thing or two you didn't already know. For example, we're willing to bet you might not know how a maze, female anatomy, and an ax are all connected. Or why certain Greek heroes are really just a lot of fun. Or that teenagers have ALWAYS been teenagers.
