Zeus Literally Raining Men
Brace yourself—this is Zeus at his most unhinged.
This episode dives into the wild myth of Danae, the princess locked away in a bronze tower because her dad was too scared of a prophecy. But when has a paranoid father or solid metal ever stopped Zeus? From disguises to delusion to literally turning himself into a golden rain, this story is peak chaotic god energy.
We’ve got fate you cannot outrun, a king losing his mind, a magically inconvenient baby, and Zeus proving—once again—that he will absolutely not respect anyone’s boundaries. It’s messy, dramatic, and hilariously unhinged… just how we like our mythology.
