Clash of the Gods

An excellent show on The History Channel, "Clash of the Gods," examines those myths and legends we are all familiar with. The Greek & Roman gods, legends of Grendel and Beowulf, Odysseus, and a Gorgon are the latest topics that have been covered.

Not only does this show examine the legends as they were told, but it also brings to light present day archeological examination of how these legends may have come to be. They do a good job of summarizing how it may have been possible for these places, peoples, and journeys to have actually taken place. With a little embellishment of course.

It would be awesome if we could go back in time to these periods in history with the knowledge we have now and see how correct we actually are...
