What do ancient myths reveal about our unconscious fantasies of power, gender, and identity? In this episode of LEPHT HAND, Jessica Elbert Decker, author of Motherless Daughters and Female Monsters, joins us to explore the myths of Athena, Aphrodite, Pandora, and Ariadne through the lens of psychoanalysis and queer feminist theory. We examine the lingering grip of masculine mastery in culture, the dangers of symbolic amnesia, and the creative potential of mythic counter-fantasies. Together, we ask what it would mean to live in a world no longer ruled by mastery—but by multiplicity, cunning, and care.
