Did the Ancient Greeks keep pets? What did they think of them and how did they treat them?
This was the question asked by a subscriber, during a live zoom session. And although the topic did not fit well within the format of the show, it was nonetheless so tantalising a question, that I thought it merited a little bonus episode of its own.

The myths, tales, and concepts of ancient Greece echo and reach into every aspect of modern life. Often misunderstood, frequently romanticised, and sometimes deliberately twisted - to understand their origins and truth is to get a real glimpse into the universal themes that connect us to the past and each other.
Welcome to Podyssey with Alex Andreou. Each week we will take one myth, one concept, person, place, or theme from Ancient Greece, take it apart, figure out its inner workings, trace its influence, juice it for its wisdom, reimagine, update and put it back together - all shiny and new!
