The Roots of Hero Worship

Why do humans put people on pedestals? From ancient gods and mythic warriors to modern celebrities and influencers, hero worship has been woven into the fabric of culture for thousands of years. In this episode, we dig into where hero worship began, how it shaped societies, and why it still influences the way we see leaders, stars, and even everyday role models today. Is it admiration, longing, or something deeper in our psychology? Join us as we trace the origins of hero worship—and question what it really means for us now.
