Mother Earth

The World of the Greeks and Romans

This podcast discusses the human views of our world as a mother, protecting figure, and one that must be protected, and how these views changed over time. Through comparison of Earth's portrayal in Hesoid's Theogony to her portrayal in Pope Francis's Laudato Si, we discover how the differences between the two exemplify the change in opinion of Earth as time goes on, and emphasize the necessity of awareness of how our actions affect the natural world around us.
