The Argives stop in Nemea to hear the story of Hypsipyle of Lemnos (and, famously, Jason's first wife/victim) who shares the story of the Lemnian women and the time they got rid of all the men. Submit your question for the next Q&A via email or a voice note.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
