🌸 5 Hellenic Resources 🌸
For those who are too lazy to read (like myself)
Hello my lovelies! Today I thought I’d put together a list of some of my favorite video/podcast based resources when it comes to learning about Hellenism and mythos! Because let’s be honest, reading can be exhausting sometimes. So grab some tea, take a seat, and go support these creators!
1. Aliakai:
One of my absolute favorites! Her videos are always well researched and fun to watch. Aliakai mostly focuses on Hellenism from a reconstructionist point of view which I think everyone (reconstructionist or not) will absolutely benefit from when it comes to their own personal worship! One of my favorite things about Aliakai is that she also focuses on allyship which I believe is extremely important in everyday life. Everyone should watch her videos in my opinion!
Educational, occasionally snarky polytheist content with an eye toward polytheist/atheist allyship.
2. Tea With The Gods:
I’m absolutely OBSESSED with this podcast! This is a great resource for anyone just getting into Hellenism. Her video on Doubt and Skepticism helped me tremendously when I was going through a tough time in my spiritual practice. Jessie covers the basics of the religion flawlessly. @thepastelpriestess if you happen upon this post, I love you and you’re doing wonders for this community!
3. Podcast On The River Styx
Alright this next one is currently a work in progress, but my friend @chthonichimbo will be starting a podcast surrounding hellenism and the theoi very soon! Please go support his project if you’re interested! We also have a discord surrounding Hellenism, check that out in my pinned post if you’re interested!

These next creators are not necessarily hellenic’s themselves to my knowledge, but they still provide fantastic coverage on mythos for those who are interested! Keep an open mind.
4. Overly Sarcastic Productions
A favorite of many! OSP has dozens of animated myths from not just Greek Mythology but also myths from a lot of other cultures as well! Each video is very well produced and is animated in such an adorable art style. They also have some videos on the gods detailing their history! My personal favorite is the one they have on Aphrodite. This channel is perfect if you’re just looking to lay back and enjoy some mythology after a long day of working!
Sarcastic, yet informative, summaries of classic and not-so-classic literature and mythology, as well as major historical events! This chann
5. Mythunderstood
Last but not least Mythunderstood! This one may be a little controversial, but keep in mind these are not told from the perspective of a hellenic. I personally really enjoyed this podcast as it retold many classic myths and told a variety of myths I’d never heard before. The podcast is ran by Sarah and Paul, two friends learning about mythology together. I really enjoyed their dynamic as it made you feel as if you were actually there and not just an audience member tuning in. I will mention though sometimes the gods are not portrayed in the best light and assumptions are made based on how they act in the myths, so if that’s not something you’re willing to listen to while learning about mythology I completely understand!
Paul Bianchi sits down with his best friend and comedic writing partner Sarah Oliver to teach her everything there is to know about Greek My
I listened to the podcast "Mythunderstood" by Paul Bianchi and Sarah Oliver...and honestly.....it's nothing special or new.
It's like those many other Greek mythology podcasts/channels on YouTube that narrate the famous myths of gods and heroes without giving context, treat gods like human beings and call them psychopaths and stuff. (These guys sometimes give wrong information so...bonus I guess. Heh). The narration is pretty okay, gets good sometimes.
But Like There's Literally Nothing New Or Special About It. I can totally understand why it's "underrated" LOL
C'mon....when will I get an actually interesting Greek mythology podcast that I deserve?
