Intro Episode: Welcome to the Mythic Greek Landscape
In this episode you’ll hear a brief introduction to the podcast.
Transcript
Hello and welcome to A Temple Wild, where we rediscover the myths of the ancient Greeks through the plants and landscapes that shaped them.
My name is Ekstasy and I'm a Greek-American herbalist and artist living in northern Greece, and in upcoming episodes we're going to be meeting the wildflowers, herbs, and trees of the Mediterranean and discovering the ancient Greek myths that honor them.
We'll learn to welcome the plants into our own homes, gardens, and daily ceremonies.
We'll wander ancient Greek temples, groves, and wild sanctuaries that have been celebrated for thousands of years.
And we'll come to understand Greek myth and culture not just as stories created by humans, but as traditions growing from the landscape itself: rooted in Mediterranean soil and nourished by the sun, sea, and mountains.
So if you are interested in Greek mythology, ancient plant lore, and the diverse landscapes of the Mediterranean, I hope you'll join me as we journey into the mythic Greek landscape.
