Thaao Penghlis pours his lifelong passion for archaeology and all things Greece into the new podcast, The Lost Treasures. The adventure story explores The Iliad and The Odyssey through the life of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who changed history when he discovered the real-life locations and treasures in the epic poems. Written and narrated by Penghlis, the four-part podcast — three story chapters enhanced with immersive audio effects and a fourth that features a reading from Penghlis explaining why he embarked on it — draws on the actor’s exclusive access to 60,000 pages of long-hidden documents and diaries.
Soap Opera Digest: You always dreamed of becoming an archaeologist. Is this podcast your way of delving into that world and satisfying that dream?
Thaao Penghlis: Absolutely. To this day, if I ever give a big round of applause and thank you to DAYS OF OUR LIVES, it’s that it has afforded me the journeys that I’ve taken and to explore the areas that as an archaeologist I would have been digging into. That would have been Greece and Egypt. It’s been a wonderful ride. We’re here in many ways to establish a journey from beginning to end. So with the podcast, I thought, “What is the most enticing story I know?” That was when I read The Iliad and The Odyssey, about Odysseus and what happened after the Trojan War and his journey back home. This is my Ithaca.
Digest: Your research for this actually began when you visited the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, correct?
