Three-hour nocturnal editions of Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythology narrated from Hesiod, Homer, Ovid, and the Eddas.
The complete story of Hecate from Hesiod's Theogony to the Homeric Hymn to Demeter: the Titan-born goddess Zeus honoured above all, the torch-bearer who searched with Demeter for Persephone, guardian of crossroads and of the night. Faithful to the ancient sources, softened for sleep.
One full life of the trickster-herald, from newborn cattle thief to psychopomp, told gently from the Homeric Hymns and Hesiod, with Razvan's channel never touching the Olympian pantheon as a single god-by-god episode.
The whole arc of wine, madness and acceptance into Olympus, softened at the darker Bacchae scenes, sourced openly from Euripides and the Homeric Hymn to Dionysus.
A slow, complete telling of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter that leans into wonder and the turning seasons rather than the abduction's violence.
Perseus's full life, birth to founding Mycenae, drawn from Hesiod, Ovid and Apollodorus, read as one continuous calm narrative instead of just the Medusa fight.
