Wind’s in the East, Spring’s Comin’ in… learn about the Greek Gods of the Wind, the Anemoi, in this episode! Start with learning their names and enjoy as Kara and Josh breeze through some of their myths and mentions in epic poetry like the Odyssey. Discover other artistic forms and uses of the Anemoi, the god Aeolus (keep of the Winds), and wind in general from modern novels to wire sculptures! Fair warning, there are a decent amount of wind puns scattered throughout the episode.
