Greek Gods and Human Mythtakes

Theseus and the Labyrinth: It's no Bull.
Greek Gods and Human Mythtakes
03/08/20 • 78 min
The story of Theseus is truly unique. Unlike most heroes, his character actually grows and matures as the myths unfold. It is this truly unique trait which has caused his life to become an influence in our stories today--Ranging from the inspiration for Campbell's "the Heroes Journey" to "The Hunger Games." Join us as we explain how Theseus' battle with the behemoth became such an important aspect for symbolism, while discussing Athens' motives for making their myth truly stand out.

Jason immediately sets out by assembling the greatest heroes in the world--including the mighty Heracles-- to secure his legacy. But Jason quickly discovers that maintaining control over a group of Alpha Warriors is much harder than assembling them. Fortunately, Jason has allies in Olympus as well.

Bro-Seidon releases his Kraken!
Greek Gods and Human Mythtakes
11/07/19 • 53 min
For the Greeks the seafaring was a terrifying occupation. They could embark with clear skies and calm seas only to watch in horror as a powerful storm appears to have been conjured out of thin air; making it only natural for the Greeks to depict their god of the seas as a deity with a quick temper. In this episode we highlight the Wrath of Poseidon with the myth of the Minotaur, Medusa, and his fight with Athena over Athens.

Greek Gods and Human Mythtakes
