Ancient Greece Revisited with Michael Michailidis

How do the religious and philosophical beliefs of Ancient Greeks have enduring relevance for us in the modern world of technology and globalisation? What lessons; spiritual or practical, can be discerned from the ancient texts that survive to this day? From the epics of Homer, the cults of Dionysus and Eleusis, the inspired wisdom of Plato or the practical philosophy of the Stoics, Michael Michailidis of Ancient Greece Revisited has explored all these and more on his channel and today he discusses these topics with us on jive Talk.
