Story 57: Daedalus says 'Ethics are Optional' (w/ Lochlyn)

Muses of Mythology

"Ethics are optional."
Our favorite grad student Lochlyn (she/her) joins the pod to discuss the incredibly creative and ethically ambiguous mythological inventor Daedalus! Was he just one guy? Was he really from Athens? And what was up with the nephew murder?
Other talking points include the bizarre human impulse to feel threatened by greatness that is not one's own, Chiron not being the worst teacher ever, why Daedalus should have been a son of Hespestaus, and mild slander towards a decades-old live-action Disney movie.
Check out Lochlyn's book recommendation, Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57127277-kaikeyi)
Spoilers for Circe, Terraria, Hades, Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams, Spy Kids 3D, Shark Boy and Lava Girl, Kim Possible, Powerpuff Girls, Back to the Future, and Tron
