Highlights of this episode include diving headfirst into the divine soap opera of Mount Olympus - where gods hurl lightning bolts one minute and hold eternal grudges the next. We’ll unravel how a pantheon of flawed immortals became the blueprint for Western storytelling, from Zeus’s HR-nightmare love life to Athena springing fully armored out of her dad’s skull. You’ll discover why myths still shape our language (“herculean effort,” anyone?), how these larger-than-life figures sneak into everything from Disney movies to TikTok, and what it says about humanity that our gods looked a lot like us - just louder, pettier, and way more dramatic. This episode will leave you enlightened, entertained, and maybe side-eyeing your family reunions a little differently.
