Episode notes
Host's Background And Tone
- Liv Albert introduces herself as having a BA in Classical Civilizations and a deep obsession with mythology.
- She frames the podcast as blunt, humorous, and focused on the crazier aspects of Greek myth.
Expect Multiple Versions Of Myths
- Expect variations: Greek myths were oral for centuries and differ between versions.
- Start with accessible episodes and return to alternate versions later for broader perspective.
Primordial Forces Shape The World
- Greek creation begins with Chaos, then Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Sky) emerge as primal forces.
- Their union spawns Titans, Cyclopes, and Hecatoncheires who shape later divine conflicts.
