Hey Text and Rockers! Shazam. This episode is all about how the ancients started to realize some of their stories were less then true over time... and they were okay with it. Join us to talk about • How early scholars like Strabo found myth to have great value. • The Greek idea of EXEMPLAR. • How ancient characters come to guide your own character. We hope this discussion of what is ancient makes your tomorrow better!

Be good to each other, Mark and Eric
