As they say, a baby never disrupts anyone‘s life and everyone just keeps on going about their daily business as before. That being said, I have to postpone this week‘s episode to next Sunday because whoever made that statement never had children. #podcast #chroniclesofancientgreece #history

The #AncientGreeks dealt with illnesses and flu-like symptoms by using #herbs, #rest, bloodletting, and praying to the #God of healing, #Asclepius. I have tried three (guess which one I left out) but no luck. Episode 5.2. will unfortunately have to be delayed a bit, hopefully only a couple of days!

The #Minoans built multi-story palaces with plumbing over 3,500 years ago. Meanwhile, medieval #Europe thought bathing was a health hazard. #Progress isn’t always linear. #TuesdayMotivation

Unlike basically everything the #Minoans did, listening to the latest Episode of #ChroniclesofAncientGreece neither requires navigating a confusing labyrinth nor fighting a half-man, half-bull mythical creature. To me that's a plus.
