Myth: The First and Last Word is a biweekly program examining the diverse myths of our world. Join me, Echo Cain, as I tell these myths and discuss their cultural heritage, their implications on a people, and what may have led a people to write the myths they did. We'll consider small folktales and epic poems within the same month, placing an emphasis on equity amongst story. We'll ask what myths say about gender, sexuality, race, religion, and class to better center our understanding of the ancient world and its effect on the modern one. Listen... Do you hear the first word?
