In this episode we revisit the past episodes on Plato's theory of soulmates from his Symposium, and the story of Pyramus and Thisbe, the original Romeo and Juliet.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing. 

Sources: Plato's Symposium, Ovid's Metamorphoses (see original episodes for translations).
