Liv reads Ovid's Heroides, the letters from Penelope to Ulysses (Odysseus) and Dido to Aeneas, translated by Grant Showerman. Penelope questions where on Gaia's green earth her husband Ulysses has been all this time, and Dido calls Aeneas out for being such an absolute dweeb.

This is not a standard narrative story episode, it's a reading of an ancient source, audiobook style. For regular episodes look for any that don't have "Liv Reads..." in the title!
