Summary
*** SUPPORT SEASON 2 OF PODYSSEY ON KO-FI.COM/PODYSSEY *** Apples - especially Golden Apples - keep popping up throughout mythology, dripping with rich - and often conflicting - symbolism. The influence of these stories pervades religion, music, modern art, cinema, and technology. Funny story: they probably weren't apples. ... 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 SEASON 2 OF PODYSSEY ON KO-FI.COM/PODYSSEY *** Written and presented by Alex Andreou Expert contributions by Alexandra Angeletaki-Røe, Debbie Challis, Linda Marric, and Dr Ruth Smith Music by Marianna Sangita Artwork by Simona Kanellou A Cooler Heads podcast NOTES TO COME *** SUPPORT SEASON 2 OF PODYSSEY ON KO-FI.COM/PODYSSEY *** Learn more about your ad choices.
