Episode Twelve: No Other Gods

In this episode we talk with musician and composer Michael Levy, discussing his historical recreations of ancient music and exploring a wide range of topics and ideas including interstellar exploration, the nature of true creativity, and (of course) the gods.

Listen in on an interview with Daniel Fletcher (Creator, Writer) and Rebecca Louisell (Director, Writer) as we discuss their mythology themed web series "The Pantheon".

Season Two kicks off with a simple question: What do you give the man who has everything?

Here at the end of 2018, we invoke the god Janus and let the past fall away as we look ahead to the coming year.

At long last, we return to the tale of Orpheus and try to gather up all the loose threads and draw them together before his tale is done.

In this episode, we take a break from the story of Orpheus to have a conversation about idols — exploring that compulsion which drives us to make things and worship them.

In this episode, we revisit the story of Orpheus and explore how he dealt with the loss of his wife once he returned from the Underworld.

What’s this? A surprise holiday episode? Yes indeed, one chock full of enough irrational ranting, broad generalizations, and mythological speculation to spark arguments with your family for the entire season. You’re welcome.

How far would you go for love? What would you risk? What would you give up? Would you follow in the footsteps of Orpheus? And would you fail, as he failed?

This week, we take a look at the story Ceyx and Alcyone — those two devoted, doomed lovers who endured a separation that tested the depths of their devotion and raised the sympathies of their gods.
