Curator's Tour: "Mythical Worlds of Greeks and Scythians"

The ancient Greek historian Herodotus noted that "the Scythians worship the same gods as the Greeks, but call them by their own names."

Who were these gods? What myths were told about them? What can we learn about these deities while wandering through the exhibition halls of the Treasury of the National Museum of History of Ukraine?

Find the answers to these questions and immerse yourself in the mythological worlds of the ancient Greeks and Scythians by joining a specialized tour by YURII POLIDOVYCH — a renowned Scythologist and Head of the Research Department at the Treasury of the National Museum of History of Ukraine.
