S4 #15: Mahabharata vs Greek Mythology: Achilles, Odysseus — Epic Crossover | Season Finale

What happens when you put the Mahabharata next to Greek mythology?  In this special season finale of Mythical Masala with Neev, we compare the greatest warriors (Karna vs Achilles), the cleverest strategists (Krishna vs Odysseus), the most duty-bound heroes (Yudhishthira vs Hector), and the two greatest wars ever told (Kurukshetra vs Troy).  From divine mothers who couldn't protect their sons to tricksters who bent the rules to win, these two ancient traditions from opposite sides of the world tell remarkably similar stories about what it means to be human.  Perfect for kids, families, mythology lovers, and fans of both Mythical Masala and Greeking Out.
