Episode 54 - Missing Helen

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 22, 2023 20:45


Hello and welcome to Macabre for Mortals, thank you for joining me for this true crime episode. This is another cold case that was lost in mystery for a long time until it suddenly heated up again. There are very few cases that become so cold and then suddenly become solved as quickly as this one. My intrigue into cold cases always fuels my passion, and I wonder if at some point I will be able to help a victim and their families.   The case of Helen Brach, the heiress who mysteriously disappeared in 1977, is still one fo the most surprising cases in the United States legal history. No witnesses, no body and no leads for the police to follow up on, the case went cold very quickly after her death, even though clearly someone had been killed for her money. Then in a surprise twist, the case warmed up many years later, and the man who was responsible for her death was finally brought to justice. My main reference for this episode is "Criminal Cold Cases - fugitives finally brought to justice" By Charlotte Greig Thank you for listening to another episode of Macabre for Mortals. I hope you found  this case interesting, I have not found many places who have covered this case but I found it so fascinating and I felt like I had so many similarities to Helen and I wish I could have known her. If you have any cases that you would like me to cover or have any feedback for me in  regards to this case or any of my other episodes, please give me an email at macabreformortals@gmail.com.

Episode 53 - Medusa - Victim or Villain?

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 8, 2023 21:22


Hello and thank you for Listening to Macabre for mortals. My references this week were :- 1.      Probably the feminine present participle of medein, "to protect, rule over" (American Heritage Dictionary; compare Medon, Medea, Diomedes, etc.). If not, it is from the same root, and is formed after the participle. OED 2001 revision, s.v.; medein in LSJ. 2.     ^ as in Hesiod, Theogony 270, and Pseudo-Apollodorus Bibliotheke, 1.10. 3.     ^ "From Gorgon and Ceto, Sthenno, Euryale, Medusa". 4.     ^ Bullfinch, Thomas. "Bulfinch Mythology – Age of Fable – Stories of Gods & Heroes". Retrieved 2007-09-07. ...and turning his face away, he held up the Gorgon's head. Atlas, with all his bulk, was changed into stone. 5.     ^ Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 793–799; Edited and Translated by Alan H. Sommerstein. "Persians, Seven Against Thebes, Suppliants, Prometheus Bound", (Loeb Classical Library) Harvard University Press, 2008, p. 531. 6.     ^ (Pythian Ode 12). Noted by Marjorie J. Milne in discussing a red-figured vase in the style of Polygnotos, ca. 450–30 BC, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Milne noted that "It is one of the earliest illustrations of the story to show the Gorgon not as a hideous monster but as a beautiful woman. Art in this respect lagged behind poetry." (Marjorie J. Milne, "Perseus and Medusa on an Attic Vase" The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin New Series, 4.5 (January 1946, pp. 126–130) 126.p.) 7.     ^ Ovid, Metamorphoses 4.798: "the Sovereign of the Sea attained her love in chaste Minerva's temple" (Brookes More translation) or "in Minerva's temple Neptune, lord of the Ocean, ravished her" (Frank Justus Miller translation, as revised by G. P. Goold) Whether Ovid means that Medusa was a willing participant is unclear. Hard, p. 61, says she was "seduced"; Grimal, s.v. Gorgons, p. 174, says she was "ravished"; Tripp, s.v. Medusa, p. 363 says she "yielded". In the original Latin text, Ovid uses the verb "vitiasse" which is translated to mean "violate" or "corrupt" line 798. Thank you for joining me for this episode of Macabre for Mortals. I hope this has given you some insight into Medusa and the myth and how it related to current times. Next time I will be covering a true crime subject – the case of the missing Heiress. If you have any questions or any suggestions then please send me an email at Macabreformortals@gmail.com.
