In this 525th (overall 1030) episode of The Ranveer Show, we are joined by Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, a mythology researcher and content creator, for one of the deepest conversations we've ever had on Greek mythology, the real history behind the Odyssey, and its uncanny parallels to Indian civilization.

We talk about why the new Odyssey film gets so much of the real history wrong, the true story behind the Trojan War, the Bronze Age collapse and the rise of the Iron Age, why ancient Troy was barely the size of an Indian village, the striking parallels between Zeus, Poseidon and the Vedic gods Indra and Varuna, the untold theory that these myths may have travelled from India to Greece, Zeus's law of hospitality and its darker Indian equivalent, and why Abhijit believes we may already be living through the early stages of a civilizational collapse.

This podcast is a must-watch for anyone interested in Greek mythology, ancient history, comparative religion, Vedic civilization, and the deeper patterns behind how empires rise and fall.
