The Age of Fables

Delving into "The Age of Fable," this episode explores why ancient Greek and Roman mythologies, though extinct as religions, remain vital for understanding literature and art. It outlines the Greek worldview, describing the flat earth, celestial movements, and realms like the Elysian Plain. The discussion then moves to the Olympian gods' abode, their origins from Chaos and the Titans, and the roles and stories of major and minor deities in both Greek and Roman traditions.
