A podcast about all things Greek. History. Language. Lore. Culture. Food. Mythology. Family and more. From diners to the Ottoman Empire, from the history of baklava to Greek Independence. What it means to be Greek and how it shapes our world.
We’re back after a 2 week hiatus with an episode about finally getting to the mother country! We’re sharing a few highlights and what we learned on our trip to make travel around Athens and a few of the islands easier.
Bonus Greek phrase: Χάσαμε το λεοφορείo! (Hà-sa-meh toh lay-o-for-ee-o)We missed the bus!!
Grieving a lost loved one doesn’t end with the funeral. My mother is still a part of our family, even though she’s been gone for ten years. Greeks (and all Orthodox) continue to remember, pray for, and celebrate our departed family members. Find out why, and how, we hold memorials year after year. And like everything else, afterwards, we eat!
