The

The Welcome to Spirits podcast to boosy dive into mythology, legends, and folklore. Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world. I'm Amanda. And I'm Julia. And hey, Amanda,

how are you doing? How's your summer going? Julie, it's been a great summer. It's been a wild few days.

But no matter what's going on in my life, I know that I can count on sitting down with you and

learning something touching or transcendental or absolutely Buck Wild about mythology and folklore.

Oh, it's going to be a book wild one this one. Yay. Just telling you in advance. So we've been touching a lot on these summer episodes all about

and I am so excited to learn. Yeah, my biggest regret is we only did Greek tragedies when we

were in high school and none of the Greek comedies. No. And there's some good Greek comedies. We'll get there.

We'll get there. There's some good Greek comedies in here. Hell yeah. But let's get into it. We're going to kind of give ourselves a little basis of what we're dealing with and also get some misconceptions out of the way. All right. Like how half goat, half men are not extremely sexy because they definitely aren't.

Well, Amanda, to start us off, a little bit of content warning at the top here.

Sators are notoriously horny. There is going to be a lot of sexual imagery around them, and we're
