This week, watch out because this episode has teeth! And so do these women…
First up, Felicia explores the mythological toothed vagina, or Vagina Dentata - a myth rooted in the fear and mystery around female sexuality and the female body. Inspired by the new musical TEETH (based on the 2007 indie horror movie of the same name), Felicia dives deeper into the history of the toothed vagina, from Greek mythology with Medusa to how it appears in other folk tales across history from countries around the world.
Next, keeping the toothy theme going, Lauren tells us about Scylla - a supernatural female creature also from Greek mythology that first appeared in Homer’s Odyssey. In some descriptions, Scylla had “12 feet and six heads on long snaky necks, each head having a triple row of sharklike teeth, while her loins were girdled by the heads of baying dogs” keeping her lower body very protected from men. She also devoured sailors who ventured into her cave. Our kind of lady.
