Liv reads Ovid's Metamorphoses (!!!), translated by Bookes More. In the first half of Book II, we hear the story of Phaethon's tragic experience driving the chariot of the sun.

CW/TW: Much of this work includes stories of gods assaulting women and nymphs, some of these stories can be particularly troubling. Listen with caution.
