The stories of the creation from Roman/Greek mythology, the first werewolf, and Pygmalion, and also some Ares stuff because this is his week I guess.
The creature, the Bonnacon (or, as cultured people say, Bo-nacho), has fiery diarrhea. Insert spicy food/White Castle joke here.

Some moderately graphic descriptions of a battlefield in the beginning during Ares's initiation into his role on Olympus. Blood and guts stuff.
Just wanted to say great job this week on a very challenging episode! Really enjoyed it. Though I guess I enjoy them all since I’ve listened to every single episode in order. Keep up the good work! This podcast definitely got me through some tough times.
Also, I’d live to see more Roman stories. There’s so many interesting minor gods and many of the major ones are a lot different than the Greek version. They also give major gifs different names that are often treated like separate deities. One extremely interesting Roman goddess is Bona Dea. She had one of the most interesting cults. Her mysteries were extremely famous and all men were excluded. There’s quite a famous true story of a man trying to break in to the mysteries to seduce Caesar’s wife. Possibly dressing as a woman. Caesar was hosting as he was the chief priest and the vestal virgins lived in his house. No idea if there’s actually any useable stories. Also Vesta! Hestia doesn’t have much despite being one of the original 6. Maybe vesta has a story.
