The Old Gods

These stories survived for thousands of years because they were never only about gods, monsters, or ancient civilizations. They were about fear. Ambition. Desire. Power. The decisions people make when everything is on the line.

The Old Gods explores mythology, religion, folklore, and fantasy through the lens of psychology, philosophy, and human nature. Each episode retells a familiar story; then looks beyond what happened to examine why it still matters.

Every myth is a doorway into something true about us.

The myth is the vehicle. The destination is us.
