EP 33: Pythagoras - Man or God?

from Garner's Greek Mythology Hosted by Patrick Garner

Welcome to Episode 33 where we meet Pythagoras, a 6th century B.C. genius. Was he man or god? Not even his contemporaries were sure.

Here these divine beings are viewed as if they were anything but mythical... Feedback? Send me a text! Support the show
