79: The Myth of the Founding of Rome

Summary: This week, guest Lauren Crossland-Marr shares a story about a Vestal virgin, a she-wolf, and some serious sibling conflict. You may know it as the story of Romulus and Remus, but here at Feminist Folklore, we're interested in what role women have to play in our foundational cultural narratives. Audio engineering provided by Aaron Crossland. You can listen to his band, F. LaRocque, at https://flarocque.bandcamp.com. Story music: “Rotisserie Graveyard” by Doctor Turtle, http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Doctor_Turtle/. Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe!
