Welcome to Greek Mythology 101! We’re picking up with the A’s and working our way across many a pantheon. What better way to start than with the much-maligned, much hated, and much made fun of - Ares, the Greek God of War and holder of the title, Angriest Olympian. Find out about the many illegitimate children of Love and War he has with Aphrodite and all the times he gets captured. It’s at least two, which isn’t many but weird that it happened twice.

Ep 86 - Shamash Mouth, Son of Sin

Somebody once told us that we’d be talking to you today about Shamash, the Sun God and a major deity of the Pantheon of the Mesopotamian cultures. Sumerians know him as Utu, Sin knows him as his son, Ishtar knows him as a brother, and we (and the Akkadians) know him, we love, him, it’s Shamash time! He’s taking the Sun Chariot all the way, he’s laying down the laws and the justice, Shamash is coming to an arena near you.
