The Mythology story-telling (1-3 pax)

• Treat yourself to the joy and surprise of performance that comes with
  this unique live professional experience

  Listen with your mouth, too – there are tastings to go along with the
  stories

  The three myths that you’ll hear are each foundational
  accounts, important not just to Athens but to the world

  While you explore these myths, you’ll be getting to see some of the most important areas of ancient Athens,
  with guides that know all the stories, ancient and modern, that go along them

   

  As is proper for the ruler of the gods, Zeus comes
  first. You’ll hear about him in Plaka, the oldest part of the
  city. Once a nearly forgotten corner of the modern city, this area
  is today the tourist center of Athens, with more souvenir shops than you could
  ever need. In the midst of them, however, are also places that mean a great
  deal to local residents. It’s in this corner of the city, just a little off the
  main streets, that you’ll hear about the birth of Zeus, his
  rise to power over his gruesome father, and his torrid love affair with Europa, the woman who gave her name to
  an entire continent. You’ll also taste some honey,
  which, as you’ll find out, was Zeus’ baby food.  

  On Dionysiou Areopagitou, the marvellous pedestrian
  street around the Acropolis and the site of two ancient theaters, you’ll
  hear about Dionysus, god of wine and the theatrical arts.
  An extremely popular god in Greece and in early Rome, Dionysus eventually fell
  out of favor with the Romans, who frowned on the excesses associated with
  celebrating his rites. On this tour, the excesses will be minimal, but of
  course, we can’t talk about this happy god without raising a glass of red wine. 

  The last stop on the tour is at Mars Hill, from
  where there’s an outstanding close-up view of the Propylae of
  the Acropolis, the gateway to the Sacred Rock. This is the most
  fitting place possible to hear about goddess Athena,
  starting with her birth and covering the contest between this remarkable
  goddess of wisdom and her uncle, the god Poiseidon, for
  the patronage of the city that would, as a result of her victory, take her name
  and become Athens. It is because of this contest that the olive tree is forever
  associated with Athena, and the last of the treats that you’ll receive on this
  walk will be a small bottle of olive oil, a memento
  of the day you spent with the gods of Greece in the city that worshipped them
  for so long.
