Liv speaks with Sean Gurd who specialized in, and records reconstructions of, ancient music from its archaic origins down to the aulos players of Euripidean tragedy. The aulos pieces were recorded at the Ancient Music and Performance Lab at UT Austin and were written by Jonathan Churchett and Sean Gurd, aulos performed by Johnathan Churchett.

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.
