    "Everything is part warp and part weft."

    Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, is also the goddess of weaving – remember how she taught Pandora? They stood together at a huge loom made from tree branches, with clay weights on the bottom of each warp thread.  Those ancient looms are rare these days – but we found one in an apartment in upper Manhattan, where scholar Beth Clancy weaves both cloth and stories.  Join us as we visit Beth for this mythlet on the power of weaving in the mythical past  – and in our own time!

    Big thanks to Beth Clancy for letting us record her, to David Goren for his field recordings of this ancient loom, and to Claire Walker-Wells and Yonatan Rekem for writing and production and to John Melillo for the great mix. And a shout-out to Gizelle Winter for her research and for getting the workmen outside of Beth’s window to stop jackhammering for an hour so we could record her!

    By the way, we're hard at work putting the finishing touches on the new season of Live from Mount Olympus -- stay tuned!  Do you have a favorite myth you'd like us to explore?  Let us know! It could become part of a future season of Live from Mount Olympus. Email us at [email protected].  Can't wait to hear from you!
