Season 3 (2023)
EPISODES
1. Norse Mythology and Their Most Epic War
In Norse mythology, there are two types of gods: the war-loving Aesir and magic-wielding Vanir. Long ago, they fought an epic war over who should be worshiped more by humans, but neither side could win. They reached a truce and united into a single pantheon, which is very rare in folklore. This might indicate a meeting of cultures in Norway from more than 3000 years ago!
2. How Every Heroic Story Is Really Just Gilgamesh
The Mesopotamian myth of Gilgamesh is less of a hero’s journey, and more of an existential crisis.| After making a bad reputation for himself, losing his one true love, and botching an epic quest, Gilgamesh is forced to admit that being a hero isn’t everything it's cracked up to be.
3. The 2 Sides of Gawain: Hero vs. Antihero
Knights of the Round Table were expected to adhere to a strict moral standard of piety, honor, bravery, and courtesy called chivalry. But considering that they often spent their days killing and rampaging at the behest of their lord, that must've required some next-level compartmentalization.
