Where are they from, are the stories Classical Greek? Mycenean? Or from elsewhere in time and place?
This video looks at these Epics and looks at the stories within them, comparing them to other stories from other cultures, before finding one Greek myth that was told long before the proto Indo Europeans. One of the oldest stories in the world that we know to date.
With special thanks to Professor Ken Dowden whose lectures inspired me.
