Teşup Gets Angry #1: The Complete Legend | Hittite Mythology (Podcast)

What happens when a god goes to visit and decides to eat the host? In this episode of Veritas Antiqua, our hosts lay out the most “tense” dinner parties in Hittite mythology. Our topic: The insatiable appetite of the Storm God and two mysterious, unfinished feasts. What are we discussing in this conversation? * Underground Extravagance: The “astronomical” feast where the Sun Goddess Allani slaughtered 10,000 cattle to appease the angry Storm God. * Tension in the Sky: The first banquet brawl in history, hosted by the Sun God and beginning with the question, “Is that all?”* Broken Tablets: Is it a coincidence that both stories end just as a fight is about to break out, or is it a cosmic message?* Chaos and Order: What does the Storm and the Sun sitting at the same table tell us about the balance of nature? We open the most gluttonous and eventful file in mythology, where even the gods forgot the rules of etiquette. Enjoy listening!
