Summary

In this soft-spoken bedtime story, I tell you about various Greek myths. This is a compilation episode, in which I've combined multiple prior episodes into one long-play episode to help you fall asleep. These are the Greek myths we will discover tonight. - The Trojan War, as told in Homer's Iliad and other sources; - The Odyssey, also mainly based on Homer's work; - Pandora and her jar (or box), which according to Hesiod contained countless plagues that she let escape, providing a backstory for the existence of suffering in human life; - The tragedy of the Danaïdes and Sisyphus, who were sentenced to an eternity of useless work; - Icarus, the young man who flew too close to the sun and fell.
