The Ancient Greeks had a very intimate connection with the environment around them and it therefore help a great significance to them. They portrayed this significance in their literature as they created characters out of natural elements that were imbued with a divinity. In this podcast two Ancient Greek works (Homer's Iliad and Hesiod's Theogony) will be discussed in this light.
