The Pythia Podcast

002 - Cosmogonia, or, in the beginning - it was Chaos

In order to understand any Ancient Greek science or religion, you have to know something about the gods. And not just those gods; not only the gods that have had major Hollywood movies made about them. Or the ones that are incredibly trendy and make up too many tattoos - all of the gods. You don't need to know a lot, but you need to know some. So this is a 101 run down of the Ancient Greek pantheon, and how they believed the world came in to existence. After this, you'll be ready to talk about the good stuff. Another great classics podcast: https://spotify.link/XuJXhtmUXDb

001-The Pythia....who/what/why is that?

Why is this podcast called The Pythia Podcast? What is a Pythia? Is it a person? A place? A thing? Yes! All of the above..kind of. We are going to look at the myths around the Pythia at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, and the religion that came out of that myth. Also, the Pythia herself, a little bit at least. Because the Pythia was not for herself (yes, it's a she!) she was for the gods. So "she" was nobody. And everybody.
