About this episode
In this episode we explore the ancient Greek fables of Aesop. I hoped to find psychologically significant parallels to myths and fairytales, but I found something entirely unexpected. In Aesop we find parallels to the Bible, we find the origins of many common expressions still in use today, but more than that, we get a glimpse into the social and cultural life of ordinary Ancient Greeks. He get to see what they valued, what they criticized and all their prejudices laid bare. Surprising. Entertaining.
Enjoy :)
