July 21, 2023 All The Ways Apollo Sucks!
Apollo has always been the 'frat boy' of the Olympic Pantheon. Privileged, arrogant and constantly needing to be the centre of attention, his transgressions make him the most repugnant of Greek gods (yes, even more so the Zeus, his father). Don't believe me? Let's talk about all the ways Apollo sucks, and see what you think. #sungod #greekmythology #apolloandartemis #apollosucks #archaeology #greekmythology #ancienthistory #goddessproject #thegoddessproject #olympicgods #Artemisandorion #orion #orionstarseed

HER worship can be traced to a time before the Minoans, and her rituals include all facets of the human experience, from birth rituals to rites of passage, to death and beyond. Her protection for those who honour her is all encompassing, her vengeance for those who cross her is swift and fatal. Dr. Ionescu’s work is a labour of love and research, born out of her long-standing certainty that Artemis was the most prevalent and influential goddess of the Mediterranean.

June 16, 2023 GAY GODS OF GREECE - Poseidon and Pelops
Poseidon, god of the sea and horses, (also known as Neptune to the Romans) was the epitome of Olympic masculinity.

Join me for this short series in honour of Pride Month 2023 and let's talk about Pelops story and all the ways Poseidon loved him. #saygay #pridemonth #gaygodsofgreece

June 14, 2023 GAY GODS OF GREECE: The Amazons
Amazon Warrior women were infamous among the Greeks for being notoriously independent, athletic and unapologetic. But what were they doing in their down time? While we know they love getting tattoos, smoking pot and dropping off unwanted male babies in the nearest village, we don't know much about their intimate and personal lives. Join me for this short series in honour of Pride Month 2023 and let's try to figure out how Amazon women spent their nights, and days, when they weren't preparing to take on the latest Greek hero or village king. #amazonwoman #amazonwarrior #theamazons #greekmythology #ancienthistory #myth #ancientgreece #herstory #ancientgreek ▶️ TAKE A GODDESS COURSE WITH ME! ▶️ https://artemisexpert.disco.co SUPPORT THE GODDESS PROJECT PODCAST!

May 26, 2023 Ancient Maenads - The Last of the Wild Women
#greekmythology #maenad #dionysus Maenads were the "raving" wild women of the Ancient Greek and Roman world. Or were they? So much that has been shared about the ecstatic rites of Dionysius was written by ancient male authors who never witnessed theses 'savage' festivals of wild women for themselves. So much of what we know about the Bacchants of the wine god was written as backlash in response to women leaving their homes to 'rave in the woods' with wine, and dancing and (perhaps) raw flesh they consumed in their intoxication with the God. Join me, and let's discuss all the fantasy writings of men, about the secrets of uncontrollable women. #wildwomen #antlergoddess #hornedgoddess #deergoddess #archaeology #greekmythology #divinefeminine #myth #ancienthistory #goddessproject #bacchus #bacchaparty #bacchanalia #womensrites #womensfestivals #womenempowerment

March 17, 2023 Hera - The NOT So Nagging Wife
#greekmythology #hera #goddess How many stories of Hera, the nagging wife of Zeus have you heard? How many in which she is jealous and murderous, and out to cause havoc on Zeus' seductive exploits? Would it surprise you to learn that Hera is a much more ancient Goddess than all male gods in the Olympian pantheon? Her power was rooted in the fact that she could birth children without the help of a male partner. She was a force to be reckoned with, a mother of beasts, a procreative powerhouse. Join me in today's episode and let's discover all the pre-Greek rituals of this much ignored Goddess.
