Tales of Olympus

Ariel I Gou

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.
