The Greek Gods

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode

The ancient Greeks had a polytheistic religion and a pantheon of gods. 

They didn’t just have many gods; they had a LOT of gods. Gods that ruled over many different aspects of human endeavor and the natural world.

These gods had a mythology that bound them up together in a very dysfunctional and often disturbing family tree.

You’re probably familiar with some of them, but others are pretty obscure.

Learn more about the Greek gods and their mythology on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
