We're back from our summer break! Dive into the world of the Algea with us—the spirits of pain, grief, and sorrow in Greek mythology. Born from Night itself, the Algea walked among the grieving and the wounded, reminding the ancient Greeks that suffering was as natural and inevitable as the dark.
Kelsey shares their mythological origins, how the Greeks understood and lived with sorrow, and even what modern psychology can tell us about why grief feels like a presence all its own. It’s a thoughtful, haunting look at how humans across time have tried to make sense of pain.
