🐍 MEDUSA - Here's Looking At You, Kid 🪦

Before Medusa was monstrous, she was beautiful. And before she was beautiful, she was powerful. She is a riddle that defies solution, from a time before the shape of things was settled.

There's roll outs.

Then there's @alexpodyssey.bsky.social
roll outs!

In this sumptuous trailer @sturdyalex.bsky.social goes out on a limb about Zeus and his pregnant leg.

Fatted calf perhaps?

Can't wait.

Got around to listening to this and oh my giddy aunt, my tenterhooks could not be sharper. And finally became a supporter, so I can be in with the tribe.

The little spark of joy I felt when this unexpectedly popped up on my podcast feed last night - 🥳

This podcast has been a little light in the darkness recently - fascinating and entertaining with lots of culture and really thought provoking. Plus Alex is the BEST story-teller.

Very, very exciting! I immediately know I'll be listening to every second of the director's cuts, even though I've already listened to every episode twice!

I’m so excited to hear the new series . I’m very happy to subscribe to and support this great work . It’s not just ancient myths and legends it’s a deep exploration of the human condition, superbly narrated by Alex Andreou, the voice that launched a thousand tales. The music is great too.

Wow! 20 episodes and 20 live discussions, plus bonus episodes... Amazing. Truly @alexpodyssey.bsky.social your efforts are Herculean, knowledge Apollonian and voice as mellifluous as Orpheus... Surely just a matter of time until Zeus turns you into a heifer or something 🤣

Catching up with @alexpodyssey.bsky.social episodes on the way up to Aberdeen. What a brilliant series and impressively fresh when you consider how much has been already said on Greek mythology

A spox for Daedalus said: "At 7:23AM Central Minoan Time, the experimental Icarus vessel suffered rapid unscheduled disassembly. We have not excluded the possibility of antifa terrorism. Icarus is an example to all. A great Minoan hero who aimed high. We will learn from this and come back stronger."

Describe a character in Greek mythology the way someone trying to defend a politician would. I’ll start.

A friend of Prometheus said the imperative of technology transfer overrode what he called the "pettifogging procedural technicalities" of the Olympian intellectual property rights regime, and that the penalty Prometheus incurred was "grossly out of proportion to the commercial harm actually done".

I think this all relates to much older and more universal traditions around how our fate is decided and that is why it tugs at some very deep strings. More to come in Season 2 of @alexpodyssey.bsky.social. That's right. I go from the Moirai straight to Traitors.
