Our critical review of The Secrets of Greek Mysticism by George Lizos, and why this book is so problematic in its ideologies, from starseed propaganda to Mr. Lizos’s rejection of scholarship.

Why have online “influencers” promoted this book to their audiences? Many of their critiques focus on surface-level issues, such as the absence of Hades or Hekate, Xenia and Dionysus while missing the far more serious problem: this book aligns itself with New Age propaganda and ancient alien beliefs, ultimately leading people astray in their understanding of ancient Greek history, mythology, and ancient Greek religion.

Chapters:

(00:00) Why are we doing this?

(08:04) The starseed propaganda

(18:55) Claims all scholars are wrong?

(29:35) Greek gods are love and light?

(36:03) Zeus isn’t a monarch, ascension and soul contracts?

(41:35) Misogynistic view on goddesses

(44:50) Artemis is “control”?

(49:41) Hera is the maiden, mother and crone?

(53:12) Hestia is boring and blasé?

(58:24) The apple of discord and his theology?

(1:00:14) Where is the “mysticism”?

(1:09:15) Calling out the “influencers” that promoted this book

We break down the role of Hades and Persephone as rulers of the dead, the function of the Three Judges, and how souls are sorted into each realm.

We also talk about who truly ends up in Tartarus and why it was not a place for the average person, but a punishment reserved for those that trick and disrespect the gods.

In this episode, we explore the story of Clytemnestra, one of the most infamous figures of Greek tragedy, remembered for murdering her husband Agamemnon upon his return from Troy. But who was Clytemnestra beyond the label of “murderess”

We’ll examine her story through the lens of ancient myth and literature, comparing her to her sisters Penelope and Helen, two women often idealized or vilified in very different ways.

Why does Penelope become the model of loyalty, Helen the emblem of beauty and destruction, and Clytemnestra the embodiment of vengeance? What does this say about how ancient Greek society and our modern world constructs archetypes of women?
