Forgotten Gods of Rome| Ep. 23. TRIVIA - Goddess of Magic, Witches, & Crossroads

Some shadowy gods befitting of this channel to kickstart the second half of this series. Trivia is an ancient Roman goddess of magic, witches, and crossroads. Her Greek alter ego is Hecate, with whom she shares much in terms of mythology and aspect but, as so often, she takes on her character and function in the Roman world. In this episode, we consider her role in witchcraft but we also consider her liminal place in society as an eerie light in the darkness, standing at crossroads across the empire with her infernal dogs howling. We also consider her crossroads in the imperial context in terms of the movement of information and throw in a bit of trivia about Trivia for good measure. *** This is the twenty-third in an ancient history series that explores Roman religion behind the veil of Greek mythology. Each episode focuses on a different indigenous Roman god. The episodes follow on from one another and are building a bigger picture for those who are along for the ride but they are designed also to stand alone, so feel free to dip in and out. Our task is to recover Rome's lesser-known deities from obscurity and, ultimately, to better understand the religion that fuelled an empire. Welcome to the Shadows of Olympus!
