Episode Synopsis

Step away from the marble statues and epic poetry, and into the sand-in-your-sandals reality of being an ancient Greek hero. In this soothing, lightly cheeky sleep story, we wander through the dusty marketplaces, clumsy armor fittings, and oddly mundane moments that myths tend to skip over. In the course of the story, you’ll meet legendary figures with sore backs, watch the world’s most famous siege unfold at a glacial, sleep-inducing pace, and discover how a certain wooden horse spent most of its time as a glorified storage shed.This is Greek mythology as you’ve never quite heard it before...calm, unhurried, and with just enough dry humor to keep you company until sleep takes over. Immersive, historically grounded and gently funny
