5. Persephone Part II - You Do Something To Me

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!  …  Persephone has been assigned the story
of a victim, but bears none of the hallmarks. Why has this
magnificent Queen been reduced to a Page 3 girl? Written and
presented by Alex Andreou Expert contributions by Alexandra
