*** SUPPORT A SECOND SEASON ON KO-FI.COM/PODYSSEY *** This week we
meet the show's archaeologist, Alexandra Angeletaki-Røe, and talk
about her profession: What it used to be, what it is now, and what
it isn't. The romantic ideas of it and how far they are from the
practical reality... And why nothing can substitute being in a
place, touching, smelling, hearing, and feeling the context of what
is unearthed from below. _________________ The myths, tales, and
concepts of ancient Greece echo and reach into every aspect of
modern life. Often misunderstood, frequently romanticised, and
sometimes deliberately twisted - to understand their origins and
truth is to get a real glimpse into the universal themes that
connect us to the past and each other. Welcome to Podyssey with
Alex Andreou. Each week we will take one myth, one concept, person,
place, or theme from Ancient Greece, take it apart, figure out its
inner workings, trace its influence, juice it for its wisdom,
reimagine, update and put it back together - all shiny and new!
