Episode Details

 In this episode of The Moon in Carolina, host Shelby Bundy explores the origin stories of three of Greek mythology's most feared women — and what those origins reveal about how monsters get made. Circe, the sorceress who transforms men into pigs. Lamia, the child-devouring queen. Scylla, the creature in the strait who drags sailors to their deaths. Each of these figures has a story that predates the monster version, and in each case, the transformation follows a recognizable pattern: a woman who held power, refused a god, or simply existed inconveniently became something to be warned about instead. Shelby traces those original stories, looks at how the retellings worked across centuries, and asks what it means that so many of antiquity's most famous cautionary figures were once just women.
