About this listen

Zeus and Indra...

Achilles and Karna...

Trojan War and the Kurukshetra War...

What are in common between these 2 different worlds?

In this episode of Kalakki, we explore the fascinating parallels between Greek and Hindu mythology — two ancient traditions that, despite being worlds apart, share strikingly similar stories of gods, floods, fire, epic wars, and immortality.


Inspired by Stephen Fry’s Mythos, this episode takes you on a journey across time and geography — from Olympus to Kailasa — uncovering how different cultures answered the same big questions: Who holds power? What happens when mortals defy the divine? And why are the gods… so much like us?


Whether you're a mythology nerd or just curious about the echoes between East and West, this episode is for you.
