Story 49: Is Theseus Actually Awesome? with Owen (Through the Mist)

“Have you heard about the Ship of Theseus?”

We’ve talked about the Labyrinth. We’ve talked about the Beast of the Labyrinth. We’ve talked about the woman who navigated the Labyrinth. Now, we finally discuss the hero who gets all the credit: Theseus.

Bad news, y’all. He’s actually pretty cool.

Owen from Through the Mist returns to talk about all the other things Theseus should be known for. Will Owen send us all into an existential crisis again? Tune in to find out.

Other topics include Ancient Greek versus 2022 sensibilities, British science fiction television, not-so-extensive Dream SMP lore, DJ’s gaming computer, and Foes to Bros Anime Fights (with strong homoerotic subtext).
