Heretic Hellene
A podcast that takes a scholarly look at Ancient Greek religion, myth and how Hellenic polytheism lives and thrives today.
The place to be whether you're a new devotee, a seasoned practitioner, a classics nerd or just curious.
Hosted by Alexia, she’s half Greek and a practising Hellenic polytheist of over 22 years, known on TikTok as Alexia Costadina for cutting through Romanised myth, pop-culture nonsense and bad takes to get back to what the primary sources actually say.
Alexia also serves as High Priestess and founder of TĪD MŌNA Coven.
