Listen "Word of Mouth: The Dread Persephone"
Episode Synopsis
The Dread Persephone: The goddess of spring and kidnapped Queen of the Underworld, Persephone is often depicted as a girl powerless to the whims of her far more powerful husband and mother; a paragon of innocent maidenhood taken and preserved for eternity. There was a point in time, however, where her name was never to be spoken aloud, Grecians strictly referring to her only as “the girl”. In this volume of Word of Mouth, go back to the time when the name Persephone struck fear into the hearts of her subjects, when the girl was given the title of Dread.---Word of Mouth: Have you ever wondered where stories come from? How thoughts of kings, creatures, and quests entered the minds of so many to the point where they were immortalized in ink and stone. The true origin comes from before parchment, chisels, and wax; in the nebulous roads between settlements where merchants and travelers whisper to each other, keeping their voices low lest they aren’t as alone as they believe. This is where storytelling was born. This is how they were meant to be heard. This is Word of Mouth: a premium storytelling ASMR experience for the lovers of humanities most well kept tales.Credits:Produced and Performed by Chloe Lael
