In this episode of Ancient Society, Lexi and Philip spill all the ambrosia about the story of Psyche and Eros, the dramatic origin of love itself.

You’ll hear how Psyche’s mortal beauty drove Aphrodite into a divine meltdown, how Eros literally shot himself with his own arrow, and how one drop of lamp oil turned paradise into heartbreak. Plus, we break down the impossible trials that make Aphrodite the original “villain mother‑in‑law” and reveal how Psyche ultimately glowed‑up into an immortal goddess.

It’s messy. It’s romantic. It’s mythological chaos at its best.

What happens when the radiant God of Order meets the chaotic Prince of Mischief? In this 10th‑episode milestone, Lexi and Philip dive into the ultimate divine duo: Apollo and Hermes. From baby‑Hermes stealing Apollo’s sacred cattle to the bromance that defined Mount Olympus, this episode of Ancient Societea is equal parts Greek mythology, gossip, and laugh‑out‑loud storytelling.

Tune in as we unpack why these two unlikely brothers became best friends, how art (and a stolen herd) bonded them for eternity. Learn what their relationship says about sibling dynamics, even among the gods. Expect memes, myths, and mayhem, plus a peek at our first Spotify Wrapped as creators!

Welcome to Odysseus’ disaster era.

In Part One of our Odyssey saga, we dive into the most chaotic road trip in ancient literature, where one man with zero impulse control keeps dragging his crew into brand-new nightmares. We’re talking pride issues, god beef, questionable decisions, detours that nobody asked for, and a whole lot of “Odysseus, PLEASE.”

If you like mythology with drama, divine pettiness, sea monsters, and two besties screaming at a hero who refuses to read the room, this episode is your new obsession.
