Did The Ancients Believe In The Gods of Myth? TIM WHITMARSH on the Philosophy Behind Greek Religion

Very excited to have had the chance to bring Tim Whitmarsh, author of "Battling The Gods, Atheism In The Ancient World" onto the channel today! Tim and I dove into all things ancient religion for this chat, including how he was introduced to the topic of atheism, the pre Socratics, and Rome's notorious emperors. I'd like to give a huge thank you to Tim for taking the time to sit and chat to me about this incredibly complex topic!!!

The last bit when he talked about Emperors in Rome. I kept thinking about how that parallel Pharoahs in Egypt. 😅

Erica, I just wanted you to know I was riveted by the interview you created with Tim Whitmarsh, and I finished his "Battling the Gods" today -- leaving you a grateful comment on your previous video featuring Tim Whitmarsh's book. It was a great reading experience and it's a great, memorable book. Thanks again for turning me in his direction!

Thank you both very interesting presentation. Something random though, for the self-proclaimed intuitively atheist professor Tim, Timothy, Τιμόθεος... I am sure I don't need to translate it or point out the irony.
