Today, we’re taking a deep dive into three of the most powerful forces that shaped the ancient Indo-European world — fate, honor, and the heroic life. From the sagas of the North to the epics of Greece, these weren’t just lofty ideals — they were lived truths.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
- what fate meant to our warrior ancestors
- how honor was earned and defended, and
- why the heroic life still calls out to us in a world that’s tried to forget it.
If you’ve ever felt out of step with the soft, risk-averse modern age, this conversation is for you.
So pull up a chair and sit a spell as we discuss what it means to live a heroic life in the modern age.
