The Great Flood, Part 1: Zeus at Lycaon's Feast | Story + Historical Commentary
A revised version of an earlier episode, now with historical commentary following the story!
The Greek myth of the Great Flood begins, as Zeus informs the other Olympian gods of his encounter on earth with the evil king Lycaon. What were Lycaon's crimes, how was he punished, and what does this portend for the fate of humanity as Zeus and the gods sit in council?
A story from Greek mythology, adapted from Ovid's Metamorphoses (Book 1), featuring: Zeus, Lycaon, the Olympian gods
