Petros Koutoupis sits down with historian and author, Jess Nadeau, to discuss ancient mythologies and the role mythology played in the ancient world. What attracted us to these ancient tales? What motivated the ancient authors to compile them in the first place? Did ancient events inspire some stories? We will attempt to answer these questions and more. And be sure to visit Jess’s Substack: Mythical Ancients.
