Discussion Netflix's Kaos (2024) and Caeneus
Really interesting point about how 'realistic' we want our popular history to be. And analogous to all sorts of things - I was just saying in a 'women in [x]' conference the other day that in my opinion the situation of women in [x] has never been great and is getting worse, so I have zero interest in doing school programmes/outreach to women and girls/etc. because it feels like lying. But is that really the right attitude to take?
Re your other point - Lisa Marciano reminds us that Jung wrote that if we don't acknowledge the mythicness of our myths they'll run around wreaking havoc on the real world; she thinks gender ideology is an example of this.
