Mythos: A Retelling of the Myths of Ancient Greece | Stephen Fry

I consider myself semi knowledgeable in Greek mythology, but Stephen Fry is letting me know that there is still much more to learn! Bosporus and Oxford are basically the same word and get their origins from the story of Io (and Zeus being a cad, again). Plus I learned why the peacock is sacred to Hera! Enjoy 😊 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Amiable I knew that “ford“ indicated water crossings -- where I live there are a number of towns near the shore that have it in their name (i.e. Guilford, Waterford, Milford, Stratford, etc.). I didn't know that Bosphorus was connected. Cool! 4w
