## Resource

Jon F. White of Crecganford returns to the show. The primary topic was what is a typical Indo-European pantheon of gods. Whilst we did cover that, we also learned and explored many related items as we navigated this Bronze Age world. Turns out, Greek mythology is not exactly typical for Indo European pantheons, although there is overlap. Ancient pre-Greece was very near East influenced. We - mostly me - keep jumping back and forth into the Bible. And yes, there's a lot of parallels and root stories there too. And for months, I've been asking Jon about my theories on the Odyssey and the Bible. No spoilers - of the discussion. We totally discuss aspects of this 3000 year old plus story. But neither of us saw the movie at date of recording so no Nolan alteration spoilers of significance.
