Love is Dead: Historical Heartbreaks and Hot Takes

History


Do you believe in love at first sight? Today Hazel and Rachel answer the oldest question in the book (if that book happens to be The Bible or the Argonautica) and discuss whether we should believe in 'love at first sight'. Rachel gets biblical with the story of Jacob and his wife Rachel . . . and Leah  . . . and all their handmaidens. Would you work for seven years just to marry the one you love? Then Hazel looks at the story of Medea and Jason, in which we  learn of the 'sweet anguish' caused by the arrows of Eros, and wonder if the Argonauts count as the first 'lads on tour'.
