The Mythology Archive Dialogues
by The Archive Network
The Mythology Archive Dialogues is part of The Archive Network by Jonkai Ventures, a collection of podcasts dedicated to the stories that shaped our world.Every episode is a conversation. Aurelius and Malik, curators of The Mythology Archive, take a single figure or story — Achilles, Agni, the Yellow Emperor, Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu — and follow it from first telling to lasting echo. One tells the myth as the culture told it: the shape of the story, the world that produced it, the meaning it carried. The other presses on the parts we tidy away — the versions that contradict, the people the story served, and what it cost those it left out.These are not summaries. Each episode is one complete story, examined from both sides in a single sitting.The Archive Network is an independent, solo-run project. Every archive, podcast and documentary is free — no ads, no paywalls. If it's been worth your time, you can help keep it that way:https://thear

ABOUT THIS SHOW
The Mythology Archive Dialogues is part of The Archive Network by Jonkai Ventures, a collection of podcasts dedicated to the stories that shaped our world.Every episode is a conversation. Aurelius and Malik, curators of The Mythology Archive, take a single figure or story — Achilles, Agni, the Yellow Emperor, Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu — and follow it from first telling to lasting echo. One tells the myth as the culture told it: the shape of the story, the world that produced it, the meaning it carried. The other presses on the parts we tidy away — the versions that contradict, the people the story served, and what it cost those it left out.These are not summaries. Each episode is one complete story, examined from both sides in a single sitting.The Archive Network is an independent, solo-run project. Every archive, podcast and documentary is free — no ads, no paywalls. If it's been worth your time, you can help keep it that way:https://thear
