The myths of Ancient Greece still echo and shape the modern world. This is their story. APPLE https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/alex-andreous-podyssey/id1798575126 SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/show/2x7cD3HjkOyOKTF4YT5Goy?si=657111fc0e544740
Hugely enjoyed this by Dr Sam Akbar. A classicist AND a clinical psychologist, she has created a practical map to self discovery that doesn't shoehorn Homer into therapy or therapy into Homer, yet fits perfectly. Because The Odyssey IS above all an inward journey.

Quick sketch done after the Q&A’s Xena digression made me think about a more Amazonian shape for Pandora…

🆕 And here it is - the brilliant live discussion and Q&A we had on Pandora. On everything from why misogyny is a perennial weed to what to do if you miss the last swan back to Avalon.
Happy #IWD2026, you wonderful people. A x

Celebrate #IWD2026 by listening to the debunking of what surely amounts to the biggest ever smear campaign - 3,000 years in the making.
Do it now, ahead of the bonus Pandora episode release this afternoon. A x
Look forward to hearing that - and loved 👏👏👏 the Pandora episode - particularly the bit about hope and toxic positivity (the Tarzan Swing strikes again....) And bits from Book 9 of Paradise Lost bounced into my head . #EveWasFramed
It's such fun, and a real pleasure, to be part of your calls. A great way to spend an hour, and my thanks for such a wonderful podcast. @alexpodyssey.bsky.social is just glorious.
I may get an actor friend to reconstruct it! HA! Only joking. I love people getting involved. A x
And a fantastic host and expert guests! Thanks Alex! Loved the discussion, pure treasure from start to end. Your editing skills will need to be epic to make my question sound good for sure...! 😂
What a gorgeous crowd and conversation. I shall edit it and put out on Saturday. xx
See many of you in just over an hour. V EXCITED!

OMG, yes! Great moment. My OH suffers from anxiety, but loves rollercoasters. I FINALLY understood! Choosing the timing and mode of anxiety is the only time you are in control. A x
Ooh. If not too revealing, which? A x
Shout out this morning to this gracious host. Took time to explain something I’d missed - a line that contextualised everything I was concerned about.
As random listeners in a world full of hot takes and parasocial confusions we’re owed nothing but it’s great to get simple clarifying replies
That's me, entirely predictably unpredictable. A x
Greg Davies: Great task, well done. Didn‘t eat a thing.
Persephone: Thank you.
Alex Horne: Ah. Well. Let’s take another look at that pomegranate.
I did classics at the Australian equivalent of A level. We didn't get anything as fabulous as this podcast in our studies. If you have the slightest interest in why we talk about things like Pandora's Box, give it listen. You will learn a lot !
By turns hilarious, poignant, inspring and staggeringly informative, the @alexpodyssey.bsky.social is a crowning podcast, and this episode is the jewel. I could literally feel myself getting cleverer as I listened. It is also the only podcast to reference the great Trap Door cartoon. Oh Globbits!
This is a totally wonderful podcast and a really entertaining and informative episode. Honestly, have a listen, you won't regret it.
The original *door that must not be opened*!
Forbidden wisdom, misogyny and all the classic shackles.
Try learning by listening!
Celebrate #IWD2026 by hearing all about the very first woman and the war that has been waged against her for three millennia.
