Liv speaks with PhD student Cecily Bateman about their research in disability in the ancient world (spoilers: it's as horrifying as it is fascinating). 

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.
