Comparative Mythology: Near Eastern Creation Myth influence on European Creation Myths
Join us on a journey through the fascinating creation myths of the Near East. From Sumer to Greece, we'll explore the diverse ways in which ancient cultures imagined the origins of the universe and the emergence of life. Along the way, we'll encounter gods and goddesses, epic battles, and cosmic cataclysms, as well as striking parallels and divergences between different traditions. Through a comparative analysis of texts, iconography, and archaeological evidence, we'll gain new insights into the rich and complex worldviews of the ancient Near East and their enduring impact on human culture. Whether you're a mythology enthusiast, a history buff, or simply curious about the mysteries of the cosmos, you won't want to miss this exciting adventure into the depths of the human imagination.

ODIN
odin-the-all-father!-or-was-he
Odin is often call the All Father, but is the reasoning behind this valid? Here we look at another explanation, and one that when explored shows how he fitted into the Indo-European mythology and the implications of this.
Here is a video by Dr Jackson Crawford: Odinn's Title "Allfather" (Alfo)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wg6md3Rz-k
This video aims to build on Jackson's thoughts to provide further reasoning to this idea.

HELGI
helgi-and-the-valkyrie-a-viking-tale-of
This is a version, an audio book if you please, of The Poem of Helgi Hiorvardsson, found in the Poetic Edda. In its usual form it is rather incoherent, but this new version has been arranged to make more sense on this norse mythology, and its tale of love and death involving a valkyrie.

THE D
the-divine-twins-(indo-european-religion
From Hengest and Horsa of the Germanic myths, to Nakula and Sahadeva of the Rig Veda, the Divine Twins appear throughout Indo-Europeans history. Here we look at who the twins really were and what they represented, and why one would occasionally disappear from mythology.
I referenced to Ward's well known paper on the Divine Twins as part of this, although this was via the copy of my copy of "Myth and Law among the Indo-Europeans" and so I don't have a direct reference to just the paper.
*When I talk about the invasion of Hengest and Horsa, I'm not exactly telling the whole truth, but I didn't want to give any spoilers away that are in a future video

WHO W
who-was-mad-sweeny-from-american-gods,
A friend of mine asked me who Mad Sweeny was, and so this is my response. He certainly isn't quite the character represented in American Gods, which mixes a number of Irish Mythology stories together. But was he Lugh? Why did he go mad? And was he really a leprechaun?
