As a partial response to the Joe Rogan Experience #1428 w/ Brian Greene - this episode explores (traditionally) religious questions, examining the transcendent benefits often associated with religious beliefs from a philosophical and metaphorical perspective. We look at the Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Greece, unpacking how Athens integrated the Olympic Pantheon from the Ancient Greek myths. Moreover, we spend the final segment looking at the Euthyphro dilemma - observing the difficulties and challenges which surround any interpretation of a "divine" text.
Primary Material:
Carlos Gómez - The Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece
J. W. Roberts - City of Sokrates: An Introduction to Classical Athens
Plato - Euthyphro (in Complete Works by J. M. Cooper)
