The Greek myth of Demeter's retaliation - Iseult Gillespie

Dig into the Greek myth of Mestra and her father King Erysichthon, who angered the gods and was cursed with insatiable hunger.--Mestra, princess of Thessaly, was far from home. She had watched her father, King Erysichthon, plunge into a ruin of his own making. Now, to save himself, he’d sold his own daughter to the highest bidder. But Mestra refused to accept this fate and began to plan her escape. Iseult Gillespie shares the Greek myth of Mestra's bid for freedom.Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Vitalii Nebelskyi, and action creative agency.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-greek-myth-of-demeter-s-revenge-iseult-gillespieDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-greek-myth-of-demeter-s-revenge-iseult-gillespie/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.and-action.netMusic: https://soundcloud.com/aim-music----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
