When Cadmus walked the Earth, just a few generations separated him from his divine ancestors. From atop Mount Olympus, they scrutinized and meddled with mortals like himself.

Iseult Gillespie details the Greek myth of the serpent’s curse. Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Adriana Monteforte Lahera.
