This was a wild episode to research.
Now, for tales of the Queen of Olympians! Most of her wrath, I think, is because she’s married to someone awful.
This episode contains discussion and mentions of sexual assault – Zeus, king of the gods and husband to Hera, does not seem to understand consent, and Hera mostly takes her anger out on the people he’s assaulting and not on Zeus, the actual wrongdoer.
Listener discretion is advised.
