  • Yikes

    A perfect example of how knowledge does not equate wisdom. You’d think these academics would know that hubris was one of the most egregious offenses to the gods.

  • I really want to like this podcast

    I tried to stick around for several episodes but just left feeling stressed and overwhelmed. There are brief pockets of information often sourced from archeological record that I found fascinating, but these short interludes are often overshadowed with personal grievances and hot takes that end up consuming a large portion of the episodes. It feels as though the hosts are anticipating an argument from the other side that gets in the way of them sharing what they know with a willing audience, an... more

  • Too much, Judge Judy

    Like other reviewers, I wanted to like this podcast. However, 99% of their content exists to offer “hot takes” with little to no actual information. They also throw a lot of shade at other creators, claiming that pagan and Hellenic polytheist authors must be “peer-reviewed” in order to meet their rigorous standards. In no reality will a pagan/polytheist author ever receive “peer reviews”—reviews from who, exactly? Academia is not friendly to the occult. Most academics will never admit to being s... more

  • Good info, too much filler

    I like the hosts and information they share, but it’s a hard listen at first. The first 20 minutes is filled with banter and product plugging. Past the filler, I enjoy it and will likely continue to listen.

  • Historically grounded but monetisation is off putting

    I like that they are aiming to provide historically grounded content.

    I don’t like: (a) there is a lot of unrelated ramble. (b) I am skeptical of the attitude of “we’re going to tell you the real truth” combined with “we’re selling something.” (c) there is a consumerist or capitalist attitude to knowledge. As someone who works in higher education, I would never tell a stranger that they aren’t a paying student so it’s a burden for me to provide a book recommendation or answer a question. I gu... more

The Wrath of Apollo & Artemis: Divine Vengeance in Greek Mythology

The Wrath of Apollo & Artemis: Divine Vengeance in Greek Mythology

The Wives of Hades: Untold Tales from the Underworld
Q: Do you think he cheated on Persephone or was he monogamous?
I think he's a monogamous king; the way the myths are worded suggests that he was committed to Persephone and did not have affairs after marrying her.
The Wives of Hades: Untold Tales from the Underworld
Q: What do we think is the best match for Hades?
Taking personal biases aside, the best match for Hades is likely Persephone, as she brings balance to his rule over the underworld and embodies life, which complements his domain of death.
