Nike Plays Cards

Come listen in on a card game of the Greek gods.

Every week, Zeus and Hera host a card game and invite two other various Greek gods, goddesses, or everyday heroes or heroines to join them.

The upside: The winner gets to petition Zeus for a favor. The downside: If you beat immortals at one of their own games, they get moody. Sometimes angry.

Today, Nike, the goddess of victory, really wants to win a favor from Zeus. She feels hopeful.

But the gods' card games always follow unpredictable paths.
