  • Hermes: The God Who Didn’t Ask Questions

    Hermes: The God Who Didn’t Ask Questions
    2025/08/11
    In this episode of The Olympic Family, Harmonia tells the story of Hermes--the wing-sandaled trickster, messenger of the gods, and master of clever escapes. But behind the jokes and shortcuts lies a deeper truth: once, long ago, Hermes delivered a gift he never should have. A gift with a jar. A girl named Pandora. And a silence that still haunts him. Through wit, reflection, and ambrosial honesty, Harmonia explores what happens when obedience becomes complicity--and why asking questions matters, even for gods.

    Athena: The Pattern in the Chaos
    2025/08/08
    Meet Athena--goddess of wisdom, war, cities, and the occasional spider curse. In this episode, Harmonia explores the sharp edges and quiet brilliance of her mythic aunt: a goddess who teaches by strategy, leads by example, and expects mortals to rise to her level. From her thunderous birth to the tangled tale of Arachne, Athena's stories reveal not just divine power, but thoughtful clarity--the kind that helps mortals build, learn, and understand.

  • Pandora’s Jar: The Gift and the Gamble

    Pandora’s Jar: The Gift and the Gamble
    2025/08/02
    What if the story of Pandora isn't about failure--but about courage? In this episode, Harmonia tells the tale of the first mortal woman, crafted by gods and burdened with a mysterious jar. What was inside? Why was she told not to open it? And when everything went wrong... why was Hope the last to leave? With insight, empathy, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Harmonia reconsiders the myth we thought we knew--and shows how Pandora's curiosity, grief, and bravery echo in all of us. This isn't a story about blame. It's a story about choice. And what we do when the world breaks open in our hands.

  • Prometheus: The Fire That Lit the Future

    Prometheus: The Fire That Lit the Future
    2025/07/26
    Hello again, spark-hearted listeners. I'm Harmonia, and today I bring you the tale of Prometheus--the Titan who shaped humanity from mud and gifted them fire, defying Zeus himself. This isn't just a story of divine punishment and eagles on mountaintops. It's a story of belief: belief in human potential, in curiosity, in change. From muddy hands to telegraphs, from whispered prophecy to lightning stolen from the sky, this episode explores the moment when humanity stopped fearing the gods and started building a world of their own. Because even the gods have issues--and some gifts are too powerful to be undone. Transcript available at: https://harmonia.email/podcast-episode/prometheus-fire-lit-future

  • Hera: Queen of the Gods (and Keeper of Vows)

    Hera: Queen of the Gods (and Keeper of Vows)
    2025/07/18
    She doesn't throw thunderbolts--she throws expectations. In this episode, I introduce you to Hera: goddess of marriage, queen of Olympus, and the one who remembers every promise ever made. We'll explore her origin story, her famously stormy marriage to Zeus, and her long rivalry with Heracles. But beneath the reputation for jealousy is a deeper strength--one built on loyalty, memory, and silent power. Whether blessing a birth, cursing a betrayal, or holding the gods accountable, Hera doesn't rule with noise--she rules with endurance. Because when the world wobbles, someone has to stand firm. And that someone is Hera. Transcript available at: https://harmonia.email/podcast-episode/hera-queen-gods-and-keeper-vows

  • Zeus: King of the Gods (and Complicated Family Dinners)

    Zeus: King of the Gods (and Complicated Family Dinners)
    2025/07/16
    He rules the skies, commands thunder, and once got raised by a goat. In this episode, I introduce you to my grandfather (and uncle... and yeah, don't ask), Zeus--the god who holds Olympus together with power, pride, and the occasional tantrum. We'll follow his journey from baby-in-a-cave to ruler of the gods, unpack his stormy relationship with mortals (and Titans), and ask the question: what does it really mean to lead? From swallowing prophecies to punishing rebels, from divine court drama to Prometheus's eternal liver problem, this is Zeus as you've never heard him--flawed, thunderous, and maybe, just maybe... still learning. Next time: Hera. Trust me--you'll want to hear her side of the story. Transcript available at: https://harmonia.email/podcast-episode/zeus-king-gods-and-complicated-family-dinners

    Aphrodite: Beauty, Risk, and the Power of Love
    2025/07/10
    What kind of power doesn't roar or clash--but still brings empires to their knees? In this episode, Harmonia introduces us to her mother, Aphrodite--the goddess of love, desire, and divine complication. From seafoam origins to tangled relationships with Hephaestus and Ares, we explore how beauty becomes a force, how love can start wars, and what it really means to be seen. This isn't a fairy tale. It's what happens when longing meets power--and why even gods aren't immune to heartbreak. Transcript available at: https://harmonia.email/podcast-episode/aphrodite-beauty-risk-and-power-love

Along the way, you'll meet his chaotic family (Fear, Terror, and Aunt Discord included), hear the story of his forbidden love with Aphrodite, and discover that even the loudest gods just want to be understood.
