Have you missed our good friend, mother of Dionysus, and lover of Zeus, Semele (aka Smelly)???
Well, you're in luck, because we get an end to Smelly's story & more on Dionysus in this week's #podcast on the #mythology of the #constellation Corona Borealis (spoilers, it's basically not about a crown at all): https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/corona-borealis-myths-and-retconstellations/

Original Corona Australis myth: Zeus lusts after Semele (who may/may not be smelly), Hera finds out (SHOCKING!) and manipulates the situation so Semele dies (again, shocker)
Find out how we ret-con(stellation) this one here: https://starrytimepodcast.com/episodes
How would you retell this myth to make it more modern and/or less cringey?!

The Wicker Woman, or Semele in Scrubland: Adele Thomas's unsexy Handel staging opens at Glyndebourne.
There's some decent singing: Stephanie Wake-Edwards and Ayreh Nussbaum Cohen give the best performances as Ino and Athamas.
