DISCLAIMER! If you're listening to this episode, first, thank you! But second, this is an early episode. It was recorded and edited when we really didn't know what we were doing and our sound quality was very lacking. We've gotten a lot better at both since then so, please, bear with us! We're so glad to have you along.
In the third of our series on the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, we visit Greece and travel west to see the Statue of Zeus at Olympia. From there we go back to Asia Minor and the flourishing city of Ephesus to discuss the Temple of Artemis. Along the way we encounter one king's strange way of scaring suitors away from his daughter, a rodent-infested statue that somehow manages to laugh, a fabled race of warrior women, and an image of Artemis that repels and frightens.
Alexander the Great, Saint Paul, Marc Antony and even the Virgin Mary all make an appearance in this episode.
