CONTENT WARNING: In this episode, we are discussing the adult novel, Blood of Hercules, after it went viral on PJO/mythology twitter. This book contains mature adult sexual themes, so if you are a younger listener or are uncomfortable with said themes, this episode is not for you (and we'll see you when we do Magnus Chase!).BLOOD OF HERCULES by Jasmine Mas went viral on Twitter. We're discussing what it's about, using our Greek myth expertise. We...did not like this book. At all. Topics in this book somehow include mathematician fanfiction, forced marriage, a misogynistic invisible talking snake, and being so hot four (4!!!) different chiseled men fall in love with you. We're breaking down everything that happens in this book so you don't have to read it, from the inaccurate portrayals of Greek/Roman mythology, to the problematic messages about asexuality and gender. You're welcome! Please enjoy this wild ride.
