Greek mythology was traditionally spread through oral storytelling, so naturally, a podcast is a fitting manner for you to hear them told to you today.
oh my gods. goes through the retelling of the tales of Greek mythology (even some of the lesser-known legends), the explanations of the roles played by all the beings who live in them, and the effect they have had on man for thousands of years. Told in a way that is easy to digest and understand, while still staying true to the original versions, with a lack of bias towards all the characters found within them.

Episode 12. The immortals: Personified concepts
🎙️ Welcome to episode 12 everyone!
In Greek mythology, and really every single mythology/religion, they used myths and legends as a way to try to explain some things that went on around them that were complex or just seemed to be out of their control.
So to straighten these things out and lay out the reason why people commit murder 🗡️ or where dreams come from ✨, just to make things a little bit easier for everyone else, they delegated these powers to deities.
Today we are going through a big long list of a lot of the personified concepts in Greek mythology. some of these names have been heard before, and I bet I may have missed some of the many many gods that fall into this category, but st...

Просмотров 192 года назад
👏 Episode 9 here we are! This is the end, kinda, well for now, of the introductions. For the most part, you will have been introduced to all of the major players after this episode, but keep in mind there are still lots of creatures, monsters, minor gods, and mortals you still need to meet, and we will get to all of them. But for this week, we are going over the last 5 of the Olympic deities, a...

Просмотров 262 года назад

It's been pretty much all about the boys up until this point, so it's refreshing to have an entire episode devoted to the ladies of Mount Olympus; Hera, Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Demeter, and Hestia. 👸🏻 During these olympian introductory episodes, we lay a base of who these 12 gods are, what they are all about, and then like one or two myths popular myths abou...

Просмотров 642 года назад
Welcome to episode lucky number 7 🎰 This week is all about the most popular and powerful gods in Greek Mythology, which, of course, are the 3 brothers: Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.

Welcome to episode number 6 👏 We have made it all the way to the second 'media (books, movies, tv shows) episode and of course how could it not be about the 1000-line poem we have been talking about for a month now, Theogony by Hesiod. So yes, Theogony is totally and not at all the only ancient source that is used to layout the foundation of the universe and explain how this all came to be, but...
Episode 5. The succession myth | part 2
Просмотров 102 года назад
Welcome to episode number 5 👏 The final piece of the succession myth, but we still technically don't have our Olympians, yet :'( So last week we went over the horrible act that Cronus committed against his father, and because people usually don't change he was just as bad, albeit a little bit worse to his own children. Fearing that they would one day dethrone and overpower him, he took action a...
Episode 4. The succession myth | part 1
Просмотров 132 года назад
🎉 Yay! Here's to episode 4 and getting back to telling tales instead of listing names! Now diving deep into the beginning of the end for the primordial gods we just spent two whole episodes introducing, but in reality, they all do play a big part in the grand scheme of things, so I'm still glad you met them. And even though some of those guys and gals we introduced are the personifications of s...

After meeting everybody up to this point, i...

Просмотров 372 года назад
Now that we got passed my intro into mythology, let's start with the real intro to it. 👉🏻 The stories that we are going over, describe how the world was formed, and which gods were created to be in charge of, or just be, certain natural elements/ forces in the universe. The most in-depth account of Greek theogony is in a poem written by a poet who is technically on the same level as Homer, but ...

🎉 wow, first episode here we go! So to kick off season one of ohmygods. I feel like I should go a little bit into how I got into Greek mythology, and the major trigger was definitely seeing Troy for the very first time, so that's why we're going over it now! Troy is a 2004 movie directed by Wolfgang Petersen and written by David Benioff, and it is based on Homer's Illiad and Posthomerica by Qui...
