An adventure for tweens and listeners of all ages, Live from Mount Olympus weaves timeless Greek myths with the artistry of foremost contemporary theater-makers and the imaginative power of audio. Hermes, god of storytellers, travelers, and thieves (Tony Award-winner André De Shields) is our host.

Season Four: Prometheus: You’d think being able to see the future would be a gift – but Prometheus’s visions are never completely clear, and he quickly learns that not everyone wants to see what lies ahead. When he glimpses a coming war that will threaten the whole world, Prometheus knows he must forge an unlikely alliance with the young Olympian Zeus. But their friendship is tested when they find they have very different ideas about how to restore a shattered world.

Season Three: Atalanta: A tiny newborn, abandoned in the forest, is adopted by a mama bear who raises her as her own. Under the divine guidance of Artemis and Athena, the bear girl grows up wise and strong, a skilled archer ready for adventure. When she meets the greatest heroes in all Greece - who are none too happy to hunt alongside a girl - Atalanta surprises them all.

Season Two: Demeter and Persephone: Persephone is eager to strike out on her own for the first time, but is immediately pulled into the underworld and must find her power in the darkness. Her mother Demeter fights to bring her back to the sunlight, and nothing can grow. Can the Olympians stop fighting before humanity starves?

Season One: Perseus: Young Perseus makes a rash promise to save his mother from the clutches of an evil king, and must strike out on a dangerous quest full of terrifying monsters, powerful gods, and a brave girl who will change our hero’s life forever.

Live from Mount Olympus is a production of the Onassis Foundation.

Good podcast

I like this podcast but it takes kinda long to come out with episodes but still good podcast. Would suggest listening to. 👍😀😃😄🤢
pankerscore

eh….

voice acting is overdone and quirky names are pronounced differently than how most people would pronounce them some inaccurate representations credits are like half the episode episode take too long to come out barely cover anything in the episodes don’t at least get ideas from suggestions from the comments humor is childish yea this is just my opinion… don’t worry I’m not going to go advertise greeking out or anything, just this pod could use some work. there are still good aspects of this podcast, but still. my opinion. not yours.

Yassss!

I love this podcast! It is the perfect blend of myths and history. Personally, I don’t think any of these are myths, I like to believe that these are real. I love all the amazing stories that get added to each season. Maybe for the next season you could do the story with Achilles and Patroclus? If you don’t know what that is, you should read the song of Achilles. It seems amazing and totally an fascinating story to tell on podcast. If you need a voice actor, just reach out to me!
smmxjxxjmdxmm🍟🙄

Nope

Greeking out is way more fun than Hermes being in a god pod Kenny keeps it going better so now I’m going back to Greeking out so last time I check out this like at least they say what happened to Atlanta in the end

🫤 fine

Fine look at greeting out now that’s 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ maybe comment about strange thing or something maybe do some side facts like greeting out you also should work on voices of gods so like deep strong 💪 echoey voices for gods and other things so think of greeting out as a father

People Lie

There is a person who said some of the myths were fake, but there are MANY different myths, so ignore that person. He/she should not say that.
#yourbiggestfan😊

OMG

Y’all have you heard Hades Town? Listen to it on Spotify apple idk music apps and guess what. THE GUY WHO PLAYS HERMES SINGS IN IT! I also think they made a reference because in episode 4 Persephone Demeter says, wherever the wind will take me.” Then hecate says,”You should break into song!” And guess what? THERES A SONG IN HADES TOWN CALLED ANYWHERE THE WIND BLOWS. IS THAT A COINCIDENCE….???

?!12345---===

Not true

A lot of the stuff in the podcast is not true, here are a few examples: Hephaestus is the god of fire, Prometheus is a titan, Prometheus was never friends with Zeus, Athena and Artemis were not friends with Persephone, and Demeter and Hecate didn’t stop Helios from traveling across the sky

Ok I like this podcast but only because I appreciate you making it about Greek myths but other than that the speech is so quirky and awkward.The acting . . . its pretty good but still ,awkward.

I Love Live From Mount Olympus

Hey! I listen to your podcast a lot. In 3rd grade I did a report on Persephone and the seasons. Which is why when you guys published the Demeter and Persephone season I was very excited. I don’t like writing essays but this is just a thank you for everything. I couldn’t even begin to know how long it takes to create, write, make, and publish and entire season. Thank you once again Live From Mount Olympus. You make me want to push through the day knowing I get to go home to a wonderfully made podcast. THANK YOU! 💕😘👏🏻📚
boring boring boring boy!

I love it but the credits are to long
jjnnnhhhggc fdc ghghghfgv

Good

I like greeking out better but that’s my opinion this pretty good
BrekkenintoIceCourt

Meh

Pretty good but like half the episodes are credits and y’all don’t even say half the names right so it gets really annoying. Also there’s a lot of side tracking in the Hades and Persephone episodes that’s really unimportant and are just to make the show longer. But the voice acting is great at least
