Have you ever read a book or watched a movie about love and found yourself more impacted than you expected? Or perhaps you found yourself thinking about it well after it was finished? So many times the same old love tragedy has been told in different ways, with different characters, settings and contexts. The premise, however, is always the same. And for whatever reason, it always seems to resonate deeply.
In Tale Oft Told we’ll examine the Greco/Roman myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and identify and analyze all endless tales in which it’s story resurfaces time and time again, sometimes purposefully and sometimes coincidentally.
Each episode will examine a specific movie or book in detail and how it aligns with Orpheus and Eurydice. Listeners who subscribe and follow the podcast in real-time can watch the movies beforehand and comment on that episode.
