Previous Episode: Eclipses in Antiquity

Next Episode: The Ancient Olympics.

In this episode I discuss four mountains which featured in ancient Greece. How did they feature in the local myths? What happened on them? I cover this as well as the more obscure mountain associations, from bizarre marital advice, singing competitions to very bad family cooking.
