What if the gods were just misunderstood? Welcome to Myth Detective – the podcast that investigates ancient gods like they’re suspects in a cosmic crime scene. Why did Zeus cheat so much? Was Loki actually the hero? And what if dragons were just ancient propaganda? Every week, we rip apart legendary tales from Greece, Norse, Egypt, Asia and beyond — to find out what really happened behind the myths. Think of it as true crime, but with gods, monsters, betrayal, and forbidden secrets they never taught you in school. Hit play — and let's solve the myth.
