Alex has brought his searching mind and narrative skills to reexamine Greek Myths and their continuing relevance. He makes striking connections between these vivid tales of human archetypes and contemporary life, popular culture, literature and cinema. This a riveting podcast by a master of the form with a beautiful voice. The music and expert contributors are very well chosen.
Perfection.
This is a brilliant podcast. Beautifully narrated and researched. It just makes me very happy. Thank you.
Exactly what you want from a podcast. Informative, thoughtful, laugh out loud funny at times. The weaving of so many cultural elements (movies, operas, art, books) across the span of human history inspired and informed by the myths ties the whole package into a perfect present for your brain. Bravo.
Thank you Alex for this! It appeared to be an amazing follow up to Stephen Fry’s books on Greek myths that I’ve been reading recently.
Do you, by any chance, know anyone who does something similar with buddhistic myths? 🫶🙏
