E1: How Pettiness Started the Trojan War
Manage episode 509446660 series 3692245
In the very first episode of Ancient Society, Lexi and Philip dive into the messy, dramatic origins of the Trojan War. Forget the Trojan Horse—this war started with a wedding, a Golden Apple, and a whole lot of divine pettiness. From Zeus’ matchmaking mishaps to Paris’ fateful choice and Helen of Sparta’s legendary “prize,” they unpack how gossip, spite, and godly rivalries spiralled into a decade-long conflict. With modern humour and reality TV vibes, this episode turns ancient mythology into the ultimate drama-filled gossip session.
