Dr Christopher Gribbin: Different Visions of the Afterlife in Ancient Greece
•

Episode 12
With reference to Homer, Hesiod and the Orphics, Dr Chris Gribbin provides a rich exploration of two versions of death and the afterlife in Ancient Greece. Myth captures so much of what humanity understood then and understands now, of how we make sense of the world and each other. Chris conveys how the ancient Greeks did not have a codified system of beliefs and that for many, the ritual act of sacrifice to the gods was far more important than individual ideas. Either way, we all end up in the Underworld and it turns out, one version of the Underworld might be a little bit more hopeful than another. We hope you enjoy this wonderful invitation into the afterlife.
