Welcome to a unique view of mythology: Ancient Greek gods are in the modern world.
Were these gods no more than myths? Modern scholars say so.
What if they're wrong? Join author and mythologist Patrick Garner as he explores each of the major Greek gods — Zeus, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Athene and many others — and uncovers rare insights into what became of these divine beings.
Details of their stories vary, depending on the source, but the qualities they represent are unchanging. Even some of the rituals honoring the gods remain in today’s religious observances.
In these episodes we also look at their extraordinary celebration known as the Eleusinian Mysteries, a rite that was observed by Athenians for almost a thousand years.
Hang onto your hat and join us as we walk with the gods!
