If you’re like me and you love Greek Mythology but struggle with the whole actually sitting down and making it through the monster that is the Epic Poetry of Ancient Greece; I got links for ya.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_8jb58B2p2hrqQJqp6bDnf3NlsWX7VI7

https://youtu.be/9kpGhivh05k

The first is a playlist from a channel I personally adore, they put out all kinds of interesting and informative content on a variety of subjects; but we’re here for the Epic Poetry.

The playlist contains their videos on The Illiad, The Odyssey, The Aenied and Iphigenia.

The second link is to their video on The Oresteia.

They also cover a bunch of different myths both Greek and otherwise if you’re inclined to check out more of their content.

Could you give me some tips to get started?
