Hi! I am Ariel, and I am your host.
Tales of Olympus is a podcast that brings Greek mythology to life—one story at a time. From powerful gods to terrifying monsters, and heroic quests to magical myths, each episode explores the wonders of ancient legends.
I also talk about the Percy Jackson series—how it connects to the original myths, and why it’s so fun to read. If you love Camp Half-Blood, demigods, and epic quests, you’ll feel right at home.
Whether you’re new to Greek myths or already obsessed like me, there’s always something epic waiting in every episode.
Get ready to climb Mount Olympus—one tale at a time!
