Episode 8: Did the Greeks Believe Their Myths?

What this episode covers

In this episode, we tackle an important question: did the Greeks believe their myths? On the one hand, the myths were an important cultural phenomenon—everyone knew about the world of the gods and heroes; on the other, there were unbelievable events narrated, and many intellectuals tried to tease out the truth and what was "invented" or "fabulous." We take a look at Centaurs in anticipation of Episode 10.
