Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Great Greek Myths" primarily retells classical myths as they were written, focusing on legendary figures and events rather than shoehorning in modern identity issues. The storytelling prioritizes mythic structure over current ideological concerns, showing a respect for the source material.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show treats ancient myths, religion, and cultural institutions with seriousness and occasionally even reverence. There’s little sign of modern re-interpretation; traditional gender roles, family structures, and heroic virtues are depicted as originally told, without contemporary moralizing.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a noticeable absence of modern lecturing or ideological consensus. Different gods, heroes, and conflicting values are portrayed without slapping a one-size-fits-all modern message on top. Viewers are left to interpret the myths for themselves.
