Muses of Mythology

“You don't know sh*t, AI!”
Time to talk about the Greek and Egyptian crossover short stories that had huge lore implications which haven't been revisited in a decade. 
Other topics include revisiting the hosts’ issues with Wrath of the Triple Goddess, struggling to identify the exact release date of paperback editions, speculation of cheese, the tonal dissonance of the short stories coming out before Heroes of Olympus finished, Hazel having the potential to be the most powerful person in the world, and the perfect pitch for the Riordanverse Infinity War. 

Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of and conversations about racial slurs, being swallowed alive, physical violence, and animal death.
