The Ancient Olympics: Games Of The Gods

A tradition that endured millennia. The ancient Olympic Games began in 776 BC and took place every four years until at least 396 AD. It was a major religious and sporting festival, attended by over 40,000 spectators who flocked to watch athletes compete in sports like wrestling, chariot racing and athletics.


Matt Lewis is joined by Dr Nigel Spivey to explore the history of the ancient Olympic games, delving into its various origin stories and outlining how the games evolved over a thousand years of history. What was competing and spectating at the games like for ordinary people? What was the significance of the Olympic Games on wider Hellenic society?

Exploits Of The Norse Gods

Exploits Of The Norse Gods

Nestled in their kingdom of Asgard, the Norse gods watch over Midgard, the realm of men. There are numerous threats coming from the nine realms, starting with the giants whose taunts and provocations become more and more frequent. Fortunately, men and gods can count on Odin and his powerful son Thor to repel the attacks. And when the god of thunder brandishes his hammer Mjölnir, it's usually the start of a great adventure.Texts: Julie Gouazé, Clément LesaffreVoices: Lance Geiger, James BrackProduction: Axelle Gobert, Clément LesaffreProduction assistant: Aimie FaconnierRecording: Théo Albaric, Marec PanchotMixing and editing: Alexandre FerreiraSpeakers: Annelie Jarl Ireman, Gísli Sigurdson, Eric LaceyDubbing: Elisabeth WautletInternational adaptation: VSI, MaremotoInternational coordination: Martin StahlOriginal music: David SpinelliPre-existing music: Stephanie Economou, Einar SelvikIllustration: ProdigiousExecutive producers: Lorenzo Benedetti, Louis Daboussy, Benoit Dunaigre, Julien Fabre, Etienne BouvierUbisoft: Etienne Allonier, Aymar Azaizia, Céline Brillouet, Leslie Capillon, Louis Raynaud, Justine VilleneuveAn original Ubisoft series, produced by Paradiso MediaIf you liked this podcast please subscribe, share, rate & review.To find out more go to website or find us on Facebook & Twitter.Hosted on Acast.
