Summary
*** SUPPORT PODYSSEY ON KO-FI.COM/PODYSSEY *** What is there to be said about Prometheus that has not been said already, by voices much more illustrious than mine - from Plato to Goethe and Aeschylus to Mary Shelley? Quite a lot it turns out. This is the beauty of myths - they wrap around each present differently, always revealing different things. Make sure you are on ko-fi as a monthly subscriber, with the right email, so you get an interview to next week's LIVE episode on Prometheus. Thursday the 12th, at 8pm. ... The myths, tales, and concepts of ancient Greece echo and reach into every aspect of modern life. Often misunderstood, frequently romanticised, and sometimes deliberately twisted - to understand their origins and truth is to get a real glimpse into the universal themes that connect us to the past and each other. Welcome to Podyssey with Alex Andreou. Each week we will take one myth, one concept, person, place, or theme from Ancient Greece, take it apart, figure out its inner workings, trace its influence, juice it for its wisdom, reimagine, update and put it back together - all shiny and new! *** SUPPORT PODYSSEY ON KO-FI.COM/PODYSSEY *** Written and presented by Alex Andreou Expert contributions by Alexandra Angeletaki-Røe, Debbie Challis, Amanda Potter, and Dr Ruth Smith Music by Marianna Sangita Artwork by Simona Kanellou Additional research by Kos Mantzakos A Cooler Heads podcast *** SUPPORT PODYSSEY ON KO-FI.COM/PODYSSEY *** Learn more about your ad choices.
