*** SUPPORT SEASON 2 OF PODYSSEY ON ⁠KO-FI.COM/PODYSSEY⁠ ***

Welcome to Podyssey with Alex Andreou. Each week we will take one myth, one concept, person, place, or theme from Ancient Greece, take it apart, figure out its inner workings, trace its influence, juice it for its wisdom, reimagine, update and put it back together - all shiny and new! 

… 

Stories have had a moral, for as long as we have told stories. This week, Aesop; A crowd-sourced literary celebrity. What is the fact and what is the fiction? And why it matters.

Written and presented by Alex Andreou

Expert contributions by Alexandra Angeletaki-Røe, Debbie Challis, Linda Marric, and Dr Ruth Smith

Exec. Producers Naomi Smith & Kenny Campbell

Music by Marianna Sangita

Artwork by Simona Kanellou

For Cooler Heads, in collaboration with Sandstone Global
