Minisode: Gifts.
(please note that there is reference to suicide and murder as per the myths involved). In this minisode I pick out some examples of gifts in ancient Mesopotamia and Greece where the outcome wasn't as planned or it just went plain wrong. Let me know what you think by leaving a review or getting in touch. You can find me as @ancientblogger on social media (TikTok, X, Bluesky, Insta, YouTube) and via my website www.ancientblogger.com There's also the subreddit for this podcast: AncientHistoryHound Music by Brakhage (Le Vrai Instrumental) Some further reading: Mueller, M.
