    S1 E17: Orpheus and Eurydice, a Sad Girl Valentine's Story

    Happy Valentine’s week, lovers! In this episode of Ancient Societea, Lexi and Philip unwrap one of Greek mythology’s most devastating love stories, Orpheus and Eurydice.  We dive deep into the myth’s messy emotions: Orpheus, the ultimate Nepo Baby musician (son of Apollo, no big deal), and Eurydice, the golden-retriever girlfriend who just wants to be seen. When tragedy strikes, he literally walks to hell and back for her… but can love survive doubt? Or does one look back ruin it all? 👀 From Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show kickoff to Hadestown, Kaos (the Netflix version), and 21st-century trust issues, this Valentine’s episode draws parallels between ancient heartbreak and our own “left on read” moments. It’s mythic, romantic, and a little bit haunting, reminding us that sometimes the scariest part of love isn’t losing it… it’s not believing in it. ✨ Perfect for fans of Greek mythology podcasts, love story retellings, and toxic-romance analysis with a pop culture twist.

    S1 E16: Echo & Narcissus: The OG Toxic Situationship of Greek Mythology

    Mirror, mirror on the pond… who’s the most self-obsessed of them all? 👀 In this episode of Ancient Societea, Lexi and Phillip go full pop-culture deep dive into the myth of Echo and Narcissus, the ultimate Greek tragedy that could double as a reality TV breakup special. Echo is that chatty, social butterfly turned silent girl after catching Hera’s wrath, literally cursed to only repeat what others say. Narcissus? The painfully hot guy who knows it, flaunts it, and rejects everyone who even breathes his way. Sound familiar? 🫣Think “Love Island,” but everyone’s a little cursed and a lot dead by the finale. We unpack Echo’s “pick-me” era, Hera’s Olympic-level pettiness, and why Narcissus walking away from everyone (including himself) might just be the original ghosting. From girlhood betrayal to divine retribution, this myth has all the drama, delusion, and poetic justice a Gen Z gossip deserves. Stay till the end for how this chaotic love story gave us the Narcissus flower and why yelling into a canyon is basically texting your ex.

    Percy Jackson at Camp Halfblood Summer Camp: All Games and No Therapy

    Camp Half-Blood isn’t summer camp, it’s the Demigod Super Bowl. In this episode of Ancient Societea, we break down the most iconic Percy Jackson games (Capture the Flag, chariot races, combat training, archery, obstacle courses, canoe jousting, and more) and what they reveal about each cabin. We get into Athena-level strategy, Ares-level chaos, Apollo kids trying to look flawless mid-fight, Hermes kids cheating their way to victory, Hephaestus builders getting wrecked, Aphrodite’s mind games, Hades kids playing it quiet until they strike, and Dionysus cabin being the wild card. Plus: the ongoing mystery of why they have swords… but no therapist.

    S1 E14: Camp Half-Blood Explained: Greek God Summer Camp of Daddy Issues

    Welcome to Camp Half-Blood: summer camp, but make it Greek mythology and unresolved parental trauma. In this episode of Ancient Societea, we’re diving headfirst into the Percy Jackson universe to break down what Camp Half-Blood actually is, who runs it, and why every single camper needs therapy immediately. From emotionally unavailable god parents and magically chaotic cabins to chariot races, capture the flag, and monsters constantly trying to kill you, Camp Half-Blood is a sanctuary for demigods… and a breeding ground for drama. We unpack all 13 cabins, their godly parents, and the personality traits (and issues) that come with being Zeus’s golden child, Athena’s burnt-out overachiever, Ares’s angry fight club kid, Apollo’s stressed theatre kid, Aphrodite’s underestimated icon, and Hades’s emotionally wrecked goth child. Along the way, we talk Percy Jackson as the reluctant main character, Annabeth Chase as the smartest girl in the room, Clarisse LeRue as a misunderstood bully, and why Hermes’s cabin is basically foster care with knives. It’s found family, Greek gods behaving badly, modern mythology, and way too many daddy issues for one summer camp. If you love Percy Jackson, Greek mythology retold with modern humor, character deep dives, and chaotic god lore, this episode is your Camp Half-Blood orientation.

    S1 E13: Apollo Gets Blocked, Again... The Messy Myth of Apollo and Daphne

    Apollo thought he was God’s gift to dating, Daphne said absolutely not. In this episode of Ancient Societea, Lexi and Filip unpack one of Greek mythology’s most unhinged love stories. We have Apollo vs. boundaries, Eros choosing violence, and a nymph who would literally rather become a tree than go on a second date. From golden arrows and bruised egos to the origin story of laurel crowns, this myth has everything: obsession, rejection, divine pettiness, and the most iconic hard pass in ancient history. Was Apollo cursed… or just incapable of taking a hint? And is Daphne the original “single and thriving” icon? If you love Greek mythology retold as chaotic gossip, toxic god behavior, and modern dating discourse, this episode is for you. Expect laughs, side-eye, and a very clear lesson about consent, ancient style.

    It’s the ultimate Mount Olympus showdown! In this glittery New Year’s finale of Ancient Societea, we spill the mythical tea on Athena and Poseidon as they battle for bragging rights over the hottest property in Greece, the city that would become Athens.

Expect temper tantrums, passive-aggressive floods, and one goddess who proves that wisdom always outshines ego. ☕ Tune in for mythological real estate chaos, Olympian gossip, and your weekly dose of drama from the gods.

You’ll hear how Psyche’s mortal beauty drove Aphrodite into a divine meltdown, how Eros literally shot himself with his own arrow, and how one drop of lamp oil turned paradise into heartbreak.

It’s mythological chaos at its best.
