Greetings, listeners! In this episode, Hades retells the story of Baucis and Philemon. Rather than reading from a book, he simply tells you the tale from his own memory of it. In this story, we explore the concept of Xenia, hospitality given to all guests and strangers--a concept that is sacred to Zeus. We hope you enjoy it. The other deities are indisposed, though whether that's really because they were celebrating Take a Monkey to Lunch Day or were detained by Pluto remains to be seen.
