In this week's edition, Rev. Josh and Sketchy Ritchie are back with an episode on the forgotten gods and demigods of the Greco-Roman world! In this episode, they start off by talking about the Greeks and their mythology about the Titans and the Olympians. After that, they begin to draw connections between the Greek Pantheon and the Roman Pantheon. They also have a conversation on household spirits in Rome, and then they get into a conversation about the Roman festival year. They close the conversation talking about the conversion of the Empire and Constantine the Great, setting them up for a conversation about Christmas in a few weeks!
Let us know what you think about this week's edition!
