This week on MYTH, we’ll be starting one of the most famous epics of all time - the Trojan War.  This is one of those stories that most people are at least passingly familiar with, but there’s a lot more to the story that you probably haven’t heard.  You’ll see that teenagers should never be trusted with anything important, that making animals fight each other has always been a past time for assholes, and that sometimes Zeus decides to slaughter people for very little reason.  Then, in Gods and Monsters, you’ll find a new reason to stay out of the water.  This is the first episode in the Trojan War saga from Greek mythology.

This week on MYTH, we’ll be starting the new year with a new creation myth from a new pantheon (see what I did there).  This story is between roughly 30 and 38 centuries old, which makes it the oldest one we’ve covered yet.  You’ll learn that Enki is basically a divine Batman, that ancient god names sound more like knock off super-heroes, and that infanticide is an acceptable solution to a lot of problems.   Then, in Gods and Monsters, you’ll learn that ancient demons can do a lot more than make you puke pea soup.  This is the Assyrian/Babylonian story of the fight between Marduk and Tiamat.
