Summary
This Sunday, March 8th, we welcome back author and naturalist Bernie Taylor — the mind behind Before Orion — for a deep dive into one of the most influential stories ever told: The Odyssey. With Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey hitting cinemas this summer, the world is about to rediscover Homer’s epic. But according to Bernie, the real story is far older, far stranger, and far more human than the previews suggest. Drawing on mythology, anthropology, archaeoastronomy, and the deep structure of the Hero’s Journey, Bernie will guide us through: The prehistoric roots of The Odyssey What the epic was really about before Homer shaped it How ancient myths encode the movements of early humans Why modern storytellers — even Nolan — may miss the deeper layers The universal hero pattern that predates civilisation How Before Orion reframes the entire mythic tradition If you’re fascinated by myth, cinema, ancient storytelling, or the origins of human imagination, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Before Orion. Before Homer. The First Odyssey.
