Welcome to Camp Half-Blood: summer camp, but make it Greek mythology and unresolved parental trauma. In this episode of Ancient Societea, we’re diving headfirst into the Percy Jackson universe to break down what Camp Half-Blood actually is, who runs it, and why every single camper needs therapy immediately.

From emotionally unavailable god parents and magically chaotic cabins to chariot races, capture the flag, and monsters constantly trying to kill you, Camp Half-Blood is a sanctuary for demigods… and a breeding ground for drama. We unpack all 13 cabins, their godly parents, and the personality traits (and issues) that come with being Zeus’s golden child, Athena’s burnt-out overachiever, Ares’s angry fight club kid, Apollo’s stressed theatre kid, Aphrodite’s underestimated icon, and Hades’s emotionally wrecked goth child.

Along the way, we talk Percy Jackson as the reluctant main character, Annabeth Chase as the smartest girl in the room, Clarisse LeRue as a misunderstood bully, and why Hermes’s cabin is basically foster care with knives. It’s found family, Greek gods behaving badly, modern mythology, and way too many daddy issues for one summer camp.

If you love Percy Jackson, Greek mythology retold with modern humor, character deep dives, and chaotic god lore, this episode is your Camp Half-Blood orientation.

Apollo thought he was God’s gift to dating, Daphne said absolutely not. In this episode of Ancient Societea, Lexi and Filip unpack one of Greek mythology’s most unhinged love stories. We have Apollo vs. boundaries, Eros choosing violence, and a nymph who would literally rather become a tree than go on a second date.

From golden arrows and bruised egos to the origin story of laurel crowns, this myth has everything: obsession, rejection, divine pettiness, and the most iconic hard pass in ancient history. Was Apollo cursed… or just incapable of taking a hint? And is Daphne the original “single and thriving” icon?

If you love Greek mythology retold as chaotic gossip, toxic god behavior, and modern dating discourse, this episode is for you. Expect laughs, side-eye, and a very clear lesson about consent, ancient style.

Expect temper tantrums, passive-aggressive floods, and one goddess who proves that wisdom always outshines ego.

In this episode of Ancient Society, Lexi and Philip spill all the ambrosia about the story of Psyche and Eros, the dramatic origin of love itself.

It’s messy. It’s romantic. It’s mythological chaos at its best.

Brace yourself—this is Zeus at his most unhinged.
This episode dives into the wild myth of Danae, the princess locked away in a bronze tower because her dad was too scared of a prophecy. But when has a paranoid father or solid metal ever stopped Zeus? From disguises to delusion to literally turning himself into a golden rain, this story is peak chaotic god energy.

We’ve got fate you cannot outrun, a king losing his mind, a magically inconvenient baby, and Zeus proving—once again—that he will absolutely not respect anyone’s boundaries. It’s messy, dramatic, and hilariously unhinged… just how we like our mythology.

Get ready for pure ancient chaos. This week, Lexi and Filip dive into the monster-sister duo Scylla and Charybdis, aka the nautical nightmare fuel that gave us “between a rock and a hard place.” We’re talking glam-goth sea girls, cursed potions, messy one-sided beef, and yet another man who can’t take a hint. Zeus pops in to ruin things (again), and somehow everyone ends up monstrous except the guy who caused it.
