EP.10 | GREEK MYTHOLOGY: Gods, Monsters & Stories That Still Rule Us

Greek mythology isn't just about gods throwing lightning bolts. ⚡🏛️ It's a world of power, love, betrayal, revenge, monsters, heroes, and stories that somehow survived thousands of years. In EP.10, we dive into the fascinating and sometimes completely chaotic world of Greek mythology. From the gods and their questionable decisions to legendary creatures and stories that still influence movies, culture, and the way we tell stories today. Who was the most powerful god?
