A disgraceful display from @dcsandbrook, as I attempt to make a serious point about Cybele on last week’s episode of @TheRestHistory on the #WorldCupOfGods
If you would like to hear the entire sorry episode, it was in the first of our two retrospectives on the #WorldCupOfGods: in-depth analysis of Moloch, Xipe Totoc, Brigit, Ishtar, Cybele, Augustus Caesar, Loki & Prince Philip
The second part of our retrospective on the #WorldCupOfGods: Zeus, Mithras, Apollo, Anubis, Isis, Dionysus, Odin, Athena
Today's episode of @TheRestHistory is the first of our two part special looking back at the thrills & spills of the #WorldCupOfGods.
Today: from Moloch to Bridget, and from Xipe Totec to Prince Philip.
