EP 25: You Tell Apollo He’s A Myth
28 juni 2021 · 17 min
EP 25: You Tell Apollo He’s A Myth Lees meer
… Welcome to Episode 25. This episode explores whether the gods are real or -- as scholars state -- myths.
In this unique podcast we take a different approach, daring to examine whether we’ve all been misled.
What if the Greek gods simply walked? What if they tired of the affairs and the squabbling that was a constant background on beautiful Mt. Olympus?
After all, they’re immortal. They can go anywhere and be anything ... Listen in as we examine the possibilities that today they are here, among us.
This episode is narrated by mythologist and best-selling author, Patrick Garner. His Garner's Greek Mythology is unlike any other Greek history series. Here the gods are viewed as if they were anything but mythical...
New stories about the gods! Homo Divinitas, by podcaster Patrick Garner, is now available on Amazon as an audible book!

EP 24: Medusa and Perseus - Bad Hair Day
22 juni 2021 · 20 min
… Welcome to Podcast 24. This episode excavates the story of Medusa. I say ‘excavate’ because today we think of Medusa as a monster whose glance could turn men to stone. Lees meer
But there’s much more to her story. It’s been buried. So first we shovel aside the stones and debris. What do we find?
Before she was a monster, she was a beautiful girl. While a temple attendant, she was seduced by one of the gods. She was punished for the indiscretion, while the god who seduced her got away scot-free.
Medusa was an innocent. We’ve seen this before. Zeus was the worst at taking young girls, then turning his back on their fate. Here he fathers the Greek hero, Perseus. Perseus eventually kills the innocent girl-become-monster Medusa.
However horrendous all this is, then Perseus becomes one of Greece’s most famous heroes. Of course there are back stories, prophesies, kings and princesses ...

The Greek gods do everything humans can do, but on a grander scale. When Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, gives bountiful harvests, all rejoice.
How do you top that? When her kidnapped daughter is returned, the grateful goddess gives Greeks the promise of a happy afterlife. Talk about the BEST GIFT EVER...

EP 22: Satyrs and A Cyclopes
23 mei 2021 · 15 min
... Welcome to Episode 22, SATYRS & A CYCLOPES Lees meer
You’ve probably heard of satyrs, but not thought beyond their strange appearance. They are the combination of 4 or 5 animals, including humans. The big difference between satyrs and humans, though, is in their approach toward life. In this episode, satyrs collide with a one-eyed giant called a cyclopes--as well as encountering Greece's wily warrior, Odysseus.
“Drink, dance & be merry” was the satyrs' motto. No wonder moralists like the ancient writer Hesiod considered them worthless.

EP 21: Oedipus and the Sphinx

... Welcome to Episode 21, Oedipus & the Sphinx.. Lees meer
This episode features the story of Oedipus, an extraordinarily tragic figure in Greek mythology who tries to do his best, but is bested by the Fates.
He meets the Sphinx—not the Egyptian version but the divine sphinx that terrified the Greeks in the city of Thebes. She killed man after man by posing impossible riddles. All who failed to answer correctly were promptly eaten alive.
Although Oedipus prevails, he cannot escape his dismal destiny ...

EP 20: Bonus Chapter from HOMO DIVINITAS
24 april 2021 · 21 min
New stories about the gods! Homo Divinitas, by podcaster Patrick Garner, is now available on Amazon as an audible book! Lees meer
... Welcome to Episode 20. We’re taking a short break from our usual episodes to hear Chapter 1 of the audible book, Homo Divinitas. It has the same Greek gods you love, but they show up in the modern world where they meddle and maneuver as they always have.
Homo Divinitas is the third book of The Winnowing trilogy. All three novels are about the Greek gods and goddesses. In Chapter 1 you’ll meet Timessa, a nymph who has been transformed by Gaia into the original Great Goddess from 40,000 years ago.
The Great Goddess was and is more powerful than any of the Greek gods. Increasing the intrigue, the original Greek deities have also reappeared in our world, and they don’t know what to make of Timessa.
We meet her after she has become the most famous fashion model in the world. Timessa—now the Great Goddess as well—has just given up her career to live on Naxos, an island in Greece. This is lucky for us because she was having a harder and harder time balancing both roles. She had become a danger to all.
Note that the trilogy, which include The Winnowing, Cycladic Girls and Homo Divinitas, is adult reading. This reading of Chapter 1 has been slightly modified for listeners of all ages.
Our next episode returns to ancient Greek gods. Expect to hear about the Sphinx—not the Egyptian version but the divine sphinx that terrified the Greeks by posing impossible riddles. Those who failed to answer correctly were promptly eaten alive ...

The daughter of the sun god, Helios, Medea was a sorceress and the infamous wife of Jason, the hero and leader of the Argonauts …

EP 17: Nymphs - Between Gods & Mortals
22 maart 2021 · 22 min
... Welcome to Episode 17. In this podcast we enter the extraordinary world of nymphs. Lees meer
These semi-divine beings were young girls who populated and protected every waterway, spring and sacred grove. They were not deathless, but could live for centuries, and were found throughout Greece, Sicily, Crete and on all the Cycladic islands of the Aegean sea …
Because they appeared as young girls, eternally beautiful, many of the stories surrounding them were erotic in nature. Many remained virgins, but others became lovers to the Olympic gods, including Zeus. Yet other nymphs, particularly those populating springs and rivers, were known to seduce those who wandered too close ...

She trafficked in herbs and magical spells, and became infamous for turning sailors who stumbled onto her beaches into wolves, and wolves into swine, and swine into snakes …
Circe’s lasting fame arose during the year the wily Odysseus spent in her company. He had hoped to swiftly return home as the Trojan war ended, but was constantly delayed — and when he encountered Circe, he hardly expected to become her lover ...

EP 15: Eleusinian Mysteries - The Only Way To Save Your Neck
21 februari 2021 · 22 min
... Welcome to Episode 15, where we travel back to Athens in our mythology time machine for one grand purpose: We seek to experience the famous Eleusinian Mysteries. Lees meer
The Mysteries were a must-attend, life-or-death ritual. Those who participated successfully were assured of a pleasant afterlife. And those who did not attend were herded by Hades into a dismal place equivalent to Hell …
A gift to mortals by the goddess Demeter, the Eleusinian Mysteries were held in the town of Eleusis for more than a thousand years. They were so sacred that all who attended took vows of secrecy — and faced death sentences if they revealed what they saw.

12 februari 2021 · 23 min

An ancient being, he was the exotic god of ecstasy and dance. The inventor of theater and wine, he was alternately celebrated and feared. Whereas many of the Olympic gods exploited women, he was their liberator. And his marriage to the princess Ariadne was as celebrated in Greece as that of Romeo and Juliet in Italy 3,000 years later ...

Then we shift to the queen of the heavens, Hera, who was married to Zeus and takes the crown as the most vindictive wife in history... and to her counterpart, Hestia, the goddess of home and hearth who chose to be nobody’s wife.

Ep 11: Hekate & Ares - Be Very Afraid

She was as close a friend to Hades as she was to the divine huntress, Artemis. We finish the second half of the episode in the company of the god of war, the remorseless Ares. Lees meer
Hekate easily slipped between the world of the living and the dead. And whereas Hekate moved through the shifting dark of mysteries, Ares drove men into the darkness of death.

Ep 10: The Pythia - 100,000 to 0

You may have heard her referred to as the Delphic Oracle, because she lived in Delphi, which the Greeks considered the center of the world
The Pythia was considered infallible, and indeed, for a period exceeding 1,000 years, she is never recorded as making a wrong prediction. Generals, politicians, tyrants and common men all relied on her counsel.

Her origins are amazing, and her decision to devote herself to the arts of love are an amazing decision, as you will see.
What happened to this seductress? Reassuringly, nothing. Of all the gods and goddesses, Aphrodite remains the most engaged in the modern world.

Ep 8: Poseidon & Hades - "Come Hell or High Water"
12 december 2020 · 22 min
... In the 8th episode of Garner's Greek Mythology , we meet Zeus' two brothers, Poseidon and Hades. The first was the Lord of the Sea, and the second? The dark Lord of the Underworld. Lees meer
Poseidon, known to the Romans as Neptune, ruled all waters. When crossed he could create earthquakes and rake shorelines with mighty tsunamis. Sailors sacrificed to him to ensure calm seas and safe passage.
Urged on by his sister, Demeter, to create the world's most beautiful animal, he imagined the horse and brought it to life on the plains of Greece. Poseidon himself, a magnificent example of man, was tall and muscled--and always carried an immense trident which he used to strike the earth and seas.
On the other hand, his brother Hades was a stern and dreaded god. Once anyone had entered his underworld, Hades was loathe to release them. The dead crossed the river Styx where Hades judged them by their accomplishments. Were they heroes or laborers? Had they built magnificent temples for the gods, or spent their lives complaining?
Too, Hades had a wife named Persephone, who ventured between the earth and the underworld. Caught up in the machinations of Zeus and her mother, Demeter, Persephone's story is also unveiled in this episode.

Ep 7: Apollo - NEVER Cross This God!
3 december 2020 · 26 min
... This is episode 7 of Garner's Greek Mythology. Lees meer
Apollo was the god of prophesy and healing. Known as the sun-god, he founded the famous temple in Delphi from which the Pythia issued warnings and prophesies for more than 1200 years.
Apollo also established centers for healing throughout Greece. Yet like his sister Artemis, he was a god of contradictions. For instance, if infuriated he could spread plague with a single arrow.
In this episode we travel through Greece and then into Rome. The son of Zeus, we see him honored by the common Greek, then saluted by Roman emperors and legendary generals.

Ep 6: Artemis - Greeks Are Slow to Learn & Quick to Die
22 november 2020 · 27 min
... This is episode 6 of Garner's Greek Mythology. What a journey! Here we discuss Artemis, the protector of girls, women and all things that suckle--yet, we learn that she was also a skilled hunter. Like Athene and the gods, this goddess was riddled with contradictions. Lees meer
The Romans in their infuriating way renamed her Diane ... She was a proud virgin goddess. Whereas Aphrodite--the goddess we know as Venus--loved song and dance and seduction, Artemis was stern. She was also a traditionalist who surrounded herself with nymphs.
As a fascinating side note, in time she became associated with Hekate, the patron saint of witches.
As a huntress, she delighted in tracking stags and boars and establishing sacred groves to shelter the wild things she hunted. Those who dared to stalk game within her forests, whether they were kings or commoners, almost always met a dreadful end.

Ep 5: Athene - Dazzling Warrior Goddess
14 november 2020 · 29 min
... This is episode 5 of Garner's Greek Mythology. Here we discuss Athene, the so-called rational goddess of war. Was she? Hardly. Like all the gods she was complex and riddled with contradictions. Lees meer
Her stories are frequently those of passion and outrage. Reason was often set aside by this goddess who was considered the most intelligent of all the Olympic gods. Her sternness masked her fierce ardor.

We learn how Athene, Athens' protector, did little when Athens was in peril--and why the Athenians loved her despite her constant absences ...
