Ancient SocieTEA

E1: How Pettiness Started the Trojan War

Ancient Societea Season 1 Episode 1

 In the very first episode of Ancient Society, Lexi and Philip dive into the messy, dramatic origins of the Trojan War. Forget the Trojan Horse—this war started with a wedding, a Golden Apple, and a whole lot of divine pettiness. From Zeus’ matchmaking mishaps to Paris’ fateful choice and Helen of Sparta’s legendary “prize,” they unpack how gossip, spite, and godly rivalries spiralled into a decade-long conflict. With modern humour and reality TV vibes, this episode turns ancient mythology into the ultimate drama-filled gossip session.
