Metastories
Metastories is a drama audio series made up of stories which includes Greek mythology, history, Shakespearean tragedies, and a bit of philosophy. You will witness how the characters will blame each other for being responsible for the downfall of mankind. The strong could become the weak, the right could become the wrong, and the innocent could turn into the greatest villain… Nevertheless, in a way, this show will still be about our disappointments, our tragedies, and some of the darkest consequences of our greatest achievements. Follow us on Twitter (X) @metastories_pod for more insights about the stories!
Intro
Human being is a patient but an interesting patient. And, that we don’t give too much credit to ourselves considering how much we have achieved.
Is this the truth? I don’t know but this time maybe there wouldn’t be so much harm in doing a little wicked speculation. But maybe this time we can express not the truth but the untruth exceeding good and evil.
Just for the sake of curiosity, in which its value lies in itself.
So, in a way, this show will still be about our disappointments, our tragedies … and some of the darkest sides and consequences of our greatest achievements.

Recap Until Season 4
Tuesday Feb 13, 2024
Tuesday Feb 13, 2024
Imagine a species, that has no distinctive physical advantages, cannot run fast, does not have strong claws and teeth, is not very smart to begin with, cannot climb well, has no skin or fur to protect herself or himself, cannot see very well, cannot hear very well, and can only give birth to one offspring per year, and most of these births would end up with death anyway…. How did this species become the most dominant species in the world? Human babies are the weakest creatures in the world, yet, they managed to bring all the other creatures to their knees.
it will be good to throw a recap before we season 4 where we remind the motivations of this show!

Tuesday Feb 20, 2024
An ancient character from ancient Greek tragedies, Oedipus. One of the main characters from the classic “the three theban plays” written by Sophocles.
Most of you would already know the tragic story of Oedipus. The man who murdered his own father, married his own mother and has been the father to his brothers and sisters.
After Oedipus and Antigone traveled through the darkest nights, they finally reached their final destination, the city called Colonus where they will meet with an oracle. So let’s begin to our story.

After a while when Oedipus met the oracle, this time we will be guests to another tragic story in which this time is directly linked to Antigone, the daughter or the sister of Oedipus… but also the niece of the new King of Thebes - Creon.
After the conflict between Oedipus’s two sons Eteocles and Polynices, and after they died, Creon became the king, the new ruler of Thebes.
Creon gives Eteocles a full and honorable burial, but orders (under penalty of death) that Polynices' corpse be left to rot on the battlefield as punishment for his treason. Such state of non-burial was considered a frightening and terrible prospect in the culture of ancient Greece. Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, who is betrothed to Creon's son Haemon, defies him by burying her brother, and is condemned to be entombed alive as punishment. Antigone tells Creon that it is the duty of the living to bury the dead and that if a body is not buried then the one who died will wander around in nowhere aimlessly for all eternity. Creon finally relents. However, when Creon arrives at the tomb where she was to be interred, Antigone has already hanged herself rather than be buried alive. And his son, Haemon, ends up taking his own life.
Our story starts in that small cellar where Creon sees the dead bodies of his son and his niece… and starts with a great regret!
