In this conclusion to our Minor Gods marathon, we leave the bright lights of the Twelve Olympians behind to explore the mysterious forces that govern our nights and our luck. First, we descend into the realm of the Shadows to meet the inseparable trio: Thanatos, Hypnos, and Morpheus. From the scientific roots of "thanatology" to the dream-weaving inspiration for The Sandman, we look at how the ancients viewed the transition from waking life to the deep unknown. Finally, we step into the world of chance with Tyche, the goddess of fortune. We explore how she steers the rudder of fate and why she’s the ultimate "X-factor" in ancient cities, modern math, and everyday life. Grab your ambrosia and tune in as we give these powerful "minor" players the respect they deserve!
