*** SUPPORT PODYSSEY ON ⁠⁠⁠KO-FI.COM/PODYSSEY⁠⁠⁠ *** Did the
Ancient Greeks keep pets? What did they think of them and how did
they treat them? This was the question asked by a subscriber,
during a live zoom session. And although the topic did not fit well
within the format of the show, it was nonetheless so tantalising a
question, that I thought it merited a little bonus episode of its
own. ... 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! *** SUPPORT PODYSSEY ON
