Prince Aeneas of Troy has a bit of an unusual parentage- he's the son of minor prince Anchises by Human Woman. Who is definitely human. And not Aphrodite. Sources for this episode: Evelyn-White, H.

Carved when Bernini was only 20 years old for the powerful cardinal-nephew Scipione Borghese, the “Aeneas, Anchises and Ascanius” demonstrated the extraordinary talent of the sculptor to the world.  Mesmerizing special effects transform stone into stretching, malleable flesh, and textures that you can almost feel with your eyes!

Season Two of Myths & Muses kicks off with the tale of a hero who lost it all and had to start again somewhere new! Aeneas rises from the ashes almost literally, leaving the destruction of Troy behind and setting off on an adventure that takes him all over the Mediterranean and even to the Underworld. Driving him all the way is his looming destiny: to found a nation whose legacy will last for millennia. All stories told on Myths & Muses are original family-friendly adaptations of ancient myths and legends. Stories from ancient mythology can also sometimes deal with complicated topics for young listeners — to the mortal parents and caretakers reading this, we encourage listening along with your young demigods to help them navigate those topics as they explore these epic tales.

This soft-spoken sleep talk tells the story of the Aeneid and explains its historical and political significance. Join me and we will follow Aeneas on his adventures from Troy, which he had to endure with his son Ascanius and his father Anchises, under the protection of his mother Venus, to the Latium in Italy where war had to be fought before Rome could be founded. Aeneas benefits from Venus' protection and Jupiter's benevolence, but hostile deities like Juno will do anything to stop him. On the way, we will visit Thrace, Delos, Crete, Epirus, Sicily, Carthage and its queen, Dido, and even the Underworld.

Join us as we explore the zodiac sign of Libra with special guest and astrologer, Faye Northgrave. This episode takes us on an enlightening expedition through the cosmos, unearthing connections between Libra, represented by the scales, and mythical tales such as the blind seer Tiresias , Narcissus's love affair with his own reflection, and Paris' judgment of the beauty contest between Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite.The episode probes into the natural and energetic facets of Libra, assessing its inherent qualities of collaboration and relationship-building. We delve further into Libra's mythology, examining the story of Tiresias, his pivotal role in the Zeus-Hera saga, and how his judgement is rewarded with outer blindness and inner sight. Moreover, we explore the dynamics of Libra energy in relationships, tying all elements together to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Libran archetype.As we venture deeper, we touch upon the mythology of Aphrodite/Venus, underpinning the Libra zodiac sign. The discussion extends from Aphrodite's oceanic birth to her association with Anchises, her role in the battle of the gods, and her representation in the Renaissance period through the iconic 'Birth of Venus' painting by Botticelli. As we navigate the fascinating cosmos, we also unravel the lessons and mysteries of the Aries/Libra axis and the upcoming eclipse season.

https://www.patreon.com/GnosticInformant Thank you existing Patrons. The Etruscans, who lived primarily in the region now known as Tuscany, emerged around the 8th century BCE. They had a significant impact on the early Roman civilization and were eventually absorbed by the Romans. There were also various Italic tribes, including the Latins, Sabines, and Samnites, who lived in the Italian peninsula from around the 2nd millennium BCE. The Latins were the tribe from which the Romans emerged. Starting from the 8th century BCE, the Greeks established colonies in southern Italy and Sicily, an area that was often referred to as Magna Graecia. Aeneas, a legendary figure of both Trojan and Roman mythology, is renowned as the son of the divine Aphrodite and mortal Anchises. A part of Troy's royal lineage and a kin of Hector, Aeneas was a distinguished defender of his city during the Trojan War, demonstrating martial prowess second only to Hector himself. Homer's work subtly hints at Aeneas' discontent with his secondary role, thereby giving rise to a later narrative that posits Aeneas as a conspirator in Troy's betrayal to the Greeks. However, a more prevalent version of his story portrays Aeneas as the helm of the Trojan survivors following the Greek conquest of Troy. Regardless of these divergent accounts, the common thread in all the narratives is the survival of Aeneas, enabling him to be woven into the fabric of Roman mythology. The connection of Homeric heroes to Italy and Sicily can be traced back to the 8th century BCE, coinciding with the era when Homer's epics are believed to have transitioned into written form. Greek colonies, established in Italy and Sicily during this period and the ensuing century, often claimed lineage from figures central to the Trojan War. Aeneas, in particular, was associated with various locales and dynasties, notably within the region of Latium. As the Roman Empire expanded throughout Italy and across the Mediterranean, Roman authors imbued with a sense of patriotism sought to craft a mythological tradition that would simultaneously infuse their land with historical grandeur and subdue an underlying resentment towards Greek cultural hegemony. Aeneas, in his role as a Trojan adversary of the Greeks, and with a post-war narrative open to interpretation, was uniquely suited to embody the mythical precursor to the inception of Roman supremacy. Composed circa 29-19 BCE, Virgil's Aeneid narrates across 12 books the mythic establishment of Lavinium, the precursor to Alba Longa and Rome, by the Trojan hero Aeneas. As Virgil recounts, when the Greeks seized Troy, a resilient Aeneas was instructed by the apparition of Hector to escape and initiate a significant city abroad. Mustering his family and followers, Aeneas secured the penates— household deities—of Troy. However, amidst the chaos of evacuation from the burning city, his wife vanished. Her spirit later appeared to him, revealing his destiny to venture to a land in the west where the Tiber River coursed. Thus began Aeneas's epic journey, with stops in Thrace, Crete, and Sicily, and fraught with a plethora of trials culminating in a shipwreck near Carthage on the African coast. Here, he was hospitably received by Dido, the bereaved queen. As he narrated his tale, they fell in love and he delayed his journey until a stern reminder from the god Mercury refocused him on his ultimate objective: Rome. Wracked with guilt, he immediately deserted Dido, who subsequently ended her own life. Resuming his voyage, Aeneas eventually reached the mouth of the Tiber. #gnosticinformant #ancientrome #documentary #4k #rome #religion --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gnosticinformant/message

In Folge 46 segeln Steffi und Sarah im wahrsten Sinne rüber ins Römische Reich. In eurem liebsten Mythologie Podcast für das Kulturbanausentum, geht es heute um einen römischen Mythos. Und zwar um die Geschichte von Aeneas, der von Troja nach Italien übersiedelte, um dort für die Gründung Roms zu sorgen. Unterwegs erlebte er viele Abenteuer - und von einigen davon werdet ihr in dieser Folge erfahren.

In his poem The Four Quartets, T. S. Eliot wrote: “What the dead had no speech for, when living, They can tell you, being dead: the communication Of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.” In Homer's Odyssey, Virgil's Aeneid, and Dante's Divine Comedy, we read about encounters with those who have died. Odysseus seeks wisdom from the prophet Teiresias and his mother, Anikleia (Odyssey 11.1-224). Aeneas meets his father Anchises, parent and prophet (Aeneid 6.739-983). And Dante holds a long conversation in Heaven with his great-great-grandfather, Cacciaguida who also assumes the role of prophet (Paradiso 15-17). What can we learn from these fictional encounters with the dead? Dr. Glenn Arbery gave this introduction at the 2022 Wyoming School of Catholic Thought.

It is the year 64 AD, and Nero rules the Roman Empire. In the wake of a Great Fire that blazes through the city, Nero finds an unwitting scapegoat to draw the blame of angry Romans: a mysterious, distrusted religious minority known as the Christians. A legendary tale of cruelty unfolds as Nero unleashes a violent purge of the Christians upon the city. A story from ancient Rome (64 AD), based on Tacitus' Annals (Book 15) and Suetonius' Life of Nero, featuring: Nero, St. Peter, St. Paul Special thanks to Anchises for contributing this story!

Aeneas and the Sibyl leave the Underworld by the Gate of Ivory. The new world of Italy, and the native people there. Aeneas forms an alliance with King Latinus, to be sealed by marriage with Lavinia, but Juno sends the Fury Allecto to demonically possess Queen Amata and Turnus. Against the progressive vision of history that Anchises spoke of in the Underworld, Juno represents the vision of history as an ironic cycle, so that Aeneas is the new Paris, and the new Troy will suffer the same fate as the old. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/michael-dolzani/support

Aeneas meets with his father Anchises in Elysium in the Underworld. Anchises's speech expands the Aeneid into a cosmic dimension, with a World Soul instead of a creator deity, a system of rewards for the good and punishments of evildoers, then reincarnation in this world.

On this week's episode we discuss Aeneas' trip to the Dis, the underworld of Roman mythology. There seems to be something a bit obligatory about this trip. Like hosting funeral games, burying fallen warriors, and battling enemy champions, traveling to the underworld is just something epic heroes do in their poems. We consider again in what ways Aeneas is and is not like other epic heroes. Like his trip to the underworld, his position at the center of Vergil's epic feels a bit obligatory. He does not stand apart from the crowd in the manner of Achilles. Aeneas is imitable, in ways that Odysseus and Achilles are not. Is this of the nature of his heroism? While in Dis, Aeneas and his father Anchises discuss the future, which leads Anchises to offer another long prophecy of Roman greatness and Roman triumph, culminating in world-dominion under Augustus. However, some strange details cause us to consider to just what degree Vergil intends this prophecy to be taken as an absolute and final pronouncement. For instance, it is possible to construe Apollo's prophecy that all Aeneas' soldiers will reach Italy safely as false (Palinurus, seduced by the god Sleep, falls overboard). Even more strangely, when Aeneas returns to the Earth, he exits the underworld not by the gate of true dreams, but through the gate of false dreams. Very odd indeed. What might these textual mysteries say about Vergil's relationship to the glory of Rome and Augustus, a glory which his poem is meant to celebrate?

On this episode we discuss the meaning of the funeral games Aeneas hosts to honor his father Anchises. The funeral games are a trope of Epic poetry, appearing in both the Iliad and the Odyssey, and were obviously rituals of great importance to ancient peoples. We try to think about why this was. Is some quality of Aeneas' leadership displayed here? Is there something distinctly “Roman” about these games, as compared to the games in those other Epics? We also consider the strange scene which ends this book, where the Trojan woman, left to mourn on the beach while the men compete in the funeral games, are driven into a frenzy by the appearance of the goddess Iris, and attempt to burn the ships. Is this more than just another example of the poem's unsubtle linking of women and femininity to irrationality, passion, and chaos?

We return to the Galleria Borghese to consider the remaining two of Bernini’s four masterpieces, his Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanias, and his David. Both statues may represent the virtue of piety, one based on a Roman story and the other based on the Old Testament, though Bernini’s David looks well equipped to defeat Goliath even if he should fail to receive God’s support.

-Aphrodite-She was worshipped as the goddess of beauty, love, pleasure, passion, procreation, prostitutes, the sea, and as a warrior goddess throughout Greece, Italy and Egypt. Her name is Greek for “shining sea foam,” but she had a lot of nicknames. ranging from Potnia (mistress) to Melanis/Skotia (the dark one) to Philommeides (smile loving).-Legend-Aphrodite is the daughter of Zeus and Dione, or emerged fully grown from the sea. She landed at Paphos, but may have originally been a Phoenician goddess whose worship dates back to the early 3rd millennium BC. Depending on the story, Aphrodite was a goddess who helped connect people who were in love or a vengeful goddess not to be messed with. Most of the stories are about her being vengeful are usually because the pride of a another offended her. One of the most famous stories is the Judgment of Paris, which leads to the Trojan War.She was married to Hephaestus, but was also romantically entangled with Ares, Anchises, Adonis, and others. Aphrodite also had many attendants: The Erotes (including Eros/Cupid), The Charities, The Horae, Peitho, Hermaphroditos, and Priapus to name a few.-Worship-Her main festival was Aphrodisia, which was celebrated for 3 days in late July/early August. During the festival, no bloody sacrifices were allowed, except for sacred doves. Worshippers brought offerings and would cleanse images of Aphrodite. In more modern times, she ispopular in Wicca, where she is invoked for love, creativity, and, sexuality. Aphrodite is also a critical goddess within the Hellenistic tradition for obvious reasons.Julie works with her in many ways, and shares two spells that she uses to connect with Aphrodite, along with a list of correspondences,

Na de val van Troje ontvlucht een Trojaanse held met zijn gezin de stad op weg naar waar het lot hen zal leiden. De reis brengt hen vele obstakels en tegenslagen, maar met de hulp van de juiste goden komen de Trojanen uiteindelijk aan bij hun bestemming. Dit mythische verhaal brengt de groep langs Thracië, Kreta, Epirus, Sicilië, Afrika en uiteindelijk het vasteland van Italië, waar de onderwereld wacht. Het staat bol van de epische verhalen en er zijn vele schilderingen gemaakt door latere kunstenaars welke de schoonheid van het woord probeerde vast te leggen op doek. Voor deze schilderingen, kaarten en de gedichten zelf kijk je op deze website. Hier vind je de link naar de facebookpagina.

Flashback to the birth of Aeneas and the affair between his parents Anchises and Aphrodite. Plus, as usual, the gods made the war far, far worse for the humans. CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Er war der Sohn von Anchises und Aphrodite, er war ein tapferer Kämpfer auf Seiten der Trojaner: Aeneas. Michael Köhlmeier erzählt seine Geschichte - spannend wie immer.

Immer wieder haben sich die Götter mit den Menschen eingelassen. Meist ist das für die Menschen nicht gut ausgegangen. Aber es gibt auch Geschichten, in denen es für die Götter schlecht ausging - Michael Köhlmeier erzählt sie.

This lecture focuses on the cantos of Cacciaguida (Paradiso 15-17). The pilgrim's encounter with his great-great grandfather brings to the fore the relationship between history, self and exile. Through his ancestor's mythology of their native Florence, Dante is shown to move from one historiographic mode to another, from the grandeur of epic to the localism of medieval chronicles. Underlying both is the understanding of history in terms of genealogy reinforced and reproved by Dante's mythic references to fathers and sons, from Aeneas and Anchises to Phaeton and Apollo to Hippolytus and Theseus. The classical and medieval idea of the self's relation to history in terms of the spatial continuity these genealogies provide is unsettled by Cacciaguida's prophecy of Dante's exile. The very premise of the poem's composition, exile is redeemed as an alternative means of reentering the world of history.
