Asclepius is an S tier god here at the Styx and Bones podcast and we're diving into his wild myth and his sanctuary at Epidaurus. This myth basically was one where Zeus could have just talked to someone to sent an email to his son Apollo and his son Asclepius but it's Zeus being Zeus. We're in for a wild ride and then we're showing the sanctuary to Asclepius at Epidaurus and we're showing why he was so important in the ancient world.Chapters:Greek Mythology Retelling Fatigue: (0:00)The WILD Myth of Asclepius: (12:58)Asclepius at Epidaurus: (36:32)🌿 BOOK YOUR TRIP TO GREECE WITH UShttps://trovatrip.com/trip/europe/greece/greece-with-chelsea-the-ghost-whisperer-sep-2026?earlyBird=trueSUPPORT STYX AND BONES + UNLOCK EXCLUSIVE CONTENTJoin our Patreon for deeper dives on history, mythology and more!

We’re back with another infamous Hekate episode and we’re taking a look at Hekate as the Nursemaid and evidence that leads to the point that she overthrows Kronos?!We're covering why it matters when looking at mythology to stake a claim about a god or goddess - do we have a site that back this? Do we have art/sculpture or other writers writing about the same thing? We can't just make a claim because we want to - we need to have it backed and for todays episode... we sure do!Chapters:Topic intro: 0:00Hekate The Nursemaid: 3:53Evidence that Hekate helped trick Kronos: 22:00Why looking at sites and evidence matters when staking a claim about Hekate: 31:10🌿 BOOK YOUR TRIP TO GREECE WITH US⁠https://trovatrip.com/trip/europe/greece/greece-with-chelsea-the-ghost-whisperer-sep-2026?earlyBird=true⁠Styx and Bones TempleJoin Our Patreon, Shop Our Store and more →⁠https://beacons.ai/styxandboness⁠FOLLOW STYX AND BONESInstagram →⁠https://www.instagram.com/styxandbonespodcast⁠Source: Source: Herring, A.
