The Two Tongues Podcast explores the most interesting topics that aren't "fit" for popular consumption (or polite dinner conversation). Here you will find honest, unfiltered and unedited conversation between two life-long friends on the state of the world as we see it; politics, religion, mind-altering substances, psychology and philosophy are fair game. Let the fun begin!

S2E69 - Aesop and his Fables

In this episode we explore the ancient Greek fables of Aesop. I hoped to find psychologically significant parallels to myths and fairytales, but I found something entirely unexpected. In Aesop we find parallels to the Bible, we find the origins of many common expressions still in use today, but more than that, we get a glimpse into the social and cultural life of ordinary Ancient Greeks. He get to see what they valued, what they criticized and all their prejudices laid bare. Surprising. Entertaining.
Enjoy :)
