It ties in the myths with the modern knowledge of the statues we have in museums and how they came to be and how they effected such things as the writings in the Bible and other religions and modern holidays.
A very thorough understanding of just how far flung these old myths show up in modern languages and celebrations, even what flowers mean and often show up at different holidays.
Yes, parts of it can be dry, especially the first part before it gets into the actual myths. Just persevere or skip that part and go back to it later, it is really worth listening to to get a thorough understanding at the end.
Very thorough and enjoyable
