Did you know that Orpheus is a famous Greek Poet? He’s a musician too! The musical Hadestown is based on the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. If you love Hadestown, love the song Orpheus (linked above!) by Sara Bareilles. Find a copy of Orpheus and Eurydice and find out about their love story! (another good song by Sara Bareilles in my opinion!!)

Listen to Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! A Greek & Roman Mythology Podcast on Spotify. The most entertaining and enraging stories from mythology told casually, contemporarily, and (let's be honest) sarcastically. Greek and Roman gods did some pretty weird (and awful) things. Liv focuses on Greek and Roman mythology's (mis)treatment of women, the wild things the gods did, and the all around incredible minds of the ancient world. I mean, how did they come up with this stuff? Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars/readings of ancient epics every Friday.
If you want to jump into a world of mythology, the best place to start is probably greek and roman mythology. It is some of the most prominent mythology that is still out there today. Take a listen to this podcast to see one person’s take on Greek and Roman mythology. This could peak your interest into reading about mythology itself, and check out these books!

Maybe you don’t like bringing around books in your bags because they’re too heavy. Or maybe they’re too distracting. maybe you have too much homework at the moment and are trying to juggle homework, extra curriculars, studying for the ACT/SAT, applying to schools, applying to jobs. I highly recommend checking out audible.com. The book that I have linked right now is called The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller (who also wrote the book Circe!!). So try a few audio books, see if those are more to your liking. They read the books aloud to you so you don’t have to carry around the books, you can work on other homework, whatever works best for you!

Witness what the gods do…after dark. The friendships and the lies, the gossip and the wild parties, and of course, forbidden love. Because it turns out, the gods aren’t so different from us after all, especially when it comes to their problems. Stylish and immersive, this is one of mythology’s greatest stories -- The Taking of Persephone -- as it’s never been told before.
If you like anything about Hades and Persephone, this is the web comic for you! Maybe you also don’t like reading big volumes of books in one sitting. Maybe your style is more comics and graphic novels. Maybe you’re more focused when you’re reading something on your computer. That’s totally okay too! I highly recommend reading Lore Olympus because it’s a modern retelling of Hades and Persephone’s story! Everyone’s in it from Athena to Zeus! You get to learn more about the backstories of all of the favorite Greek gods and goddesses, with modern twists! It’s a bit more mature in setting, so I would recommend at least ninth grade and up, but oh my goodness it is a wild ride from start to finish! And it still gets updated once a week (every Sunday!)
