Where did the apple come from, and how did it go from a sour, berry-sized wild fruit to the sweet, plump star of our fruit bowls today? Was it really bears (and their sweet tooth) that shaped its destiny? How did the mountains of Kazakhstan become the apple's Garden of Eden, and what role did nomads, traders, and even the poets of Ancient Greece play in transforming it from wild crab to cultivated treasure? And why has this fruit, more than almost any other, become so entangled in our myths, our laws, and our imaginations?Join John and Patrick as they peel back the first layer of the apple's astonishing story—from its tangled roots in Central Asia to its golden glow in the myths of Greece—in the opening episode of this epic five-part series.----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.

Cost of Glory Greece Retreat: https://costofglory.com/retreatPart 3 of 3 of Caesar's Civil War series. From triumph to near-disaster. Caesar's Egyptian entanglement transforms him from a glorious victor to a desperate challenger. In this episode:Pompey's assassination in Egypt and Caesar's unexpected grief over his former ally's deathCleopatra's legendary entrance in a bed-sack and her political seduction of CaesarThe brutal urban warfare trapping Caesar in the palace quarter for six monthsThe burning of the Great Library during the harbor battles—400,000 volumes lostCaesar's desperate swim to safety while clutching precious documents above waterYoung King Ptolemy XIII's tragic fate and the consolidation of Cleopatra's powerThe lightning campaign against Pharnaces in Asia—"Veni, Vidi, Vici"The veterans' mutiny outside Rome and Caesar's masterful psychological manipulationCato's final stand in Africa and his defiant suicideThe decisive Battle of Thapsus and the strategic genius of fighting on narrow groundThe massacre of surrendering enemies as Caesar's clemency finally failsAs Caesar recounts, the Republic's future dictator came very close to destruction in the palaces and canals of Alexandria. While Rome descended into chaos under Mark Antony's drunken rule, Caesar fought for his life against war elephants and Numidian cavalry, transformed by his liaison with the living goddess Cleopatra. The man who emerged from Egypt was no longer merely a Roman general, he had consorted with divinity and fathered the son of a pharaoh. As Cicero wrote in frantic letters to Atticus: "Where am I to look for solace?" The final campaign that would cement Caesar's supremacy began with the most dangerous gamble of his career.Works Cited: (Affiliate links - support the show!)Gareth Sampson, The Battle of Pharsalus Matthias Gelzer, Caesar: Politician and Statesman James Froude, Caesar: A Sketch, Raaflaub (ed.)

In de eerste aflevering van seizoen 3 van Oudheid neemt dr. Helle Hochscheid van het University College Roosevelt, onderdeel van de Universiteit Utrecht, ons mee naar het klassieke Athene: naar de wereld van de handwerkers en handwerksters die daar woonden en werkten! Een ongelooflijk breed onderwerp, want alles - van de pot waarin werd gekookt tot kleding, gereedschap, aardewerk en beeldhouwkunst tot de zeilen van schepen - was met de hand gemaakt. Maar wie waren de mensen die dat maakten? Waar werkten ze en hoe krijg je als wetenschapper juist die mensen in beeld?Shownotes

Send us a textThe Seljuks have been a major player in the podcast since the end of season two, and finally, after nearly two centuries, they will be destroyed by the Mongolians. They put up a good fight against the Khwarezmian Empire, and perhaps that gave the Seljuks a false sense of ability. When they do face off against the Mongols, it is a disaster, and they will become vassals to the great Mongol Horde. The fractured remains of the Sultanate will leave a vacuum for a new Turkish power to rise. The events in this episode will pave the road for the rise of the Ottoman Empire.The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events from Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, to the years under the Ottoman Empire, and 1821 when the Greeks fought for independence... all the way to the modern-day.Website: www.moderngreecepodcast.comSOCIAL MEDIA: Go here to chat with us. https://www.instagram.com/historyofmodern%20greece/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578023316172Music by Mark Jungerman: www.marcjungermann.comCheck out our 2nd Podcast: www.antecedors.com

Trigger warning: discussion of seggsual assault near the end In this episode, Charna interviews Ariella Daley, a seasoned dream worker, animist, and beekeeper with over 15 years of experience. Ariella shares her fascinating journey into beekeeping and dream work, influenced by a blend of naturalism from her mother and mysticism from her father. She recounts a significant experience where wild bees moved into her home, deeply intertwining her dream work with her beekeeping practice. Ariella and Charna discuss the profound healing and intuitive lessons bees can impart, the importance of intentional dreaming, and the animist worldview that sees life and consciousness in all things. Ariella also touches on her personal healing journey through profound experiences with snakes and bees, and later discusses her recent experience of seggsual assault and how dream work has been a vital resource in her healing process.  Show Notes: (You can also watch the episode on YouTube) 00:00 Welcome, Trigger Warning and Introduction 01:03 Meet Ariella Daley: Dream Worker and Beekeeper 03:33 Ariella's Journey: From Childhood to Dreaming with Bees 05:40 The Healing Power of Bees 09:41 Intentional Dreaming and Animism 12:17 The Animist Worldview 15:33 Connecting with Nature and Intuition 19:29 The Meditative Presence of Bees 24:33 Exploring the Connection Between Bees and Dreams 25:10 Ancient Dream Healing Practices 26:08 The Symbolism of Snakes and Bees 28:25 Personal Stories of Dream and Snake Encounters 34:03 The Impact of Trauma and Healing 42:36 Concluding Thoughts and Future Episodes Resources To Reach Out To: National Sexual Assault Hotline (RAINN): Voice: (800) 656-HOPE (4673) | Web: https://centers.rainn.org/ SF Women Against Rape: 415-861-2024  Book Resources: Judith Herman "Trauma and Recovery" Babette Rothschild "The Body Remembers and 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery" Peter Levine "Waking the Tiger" Staci Haines "Healing Sex"

The battlefield at Mantinea in 418 BC witnessed one of the most consequential clashes of the Peloponnesian War, a moment when Sparta's reputation hung in the balance. Following years of diplomatic erosion and military hesitation, King Agis led a massive Spartan force north to confront a growing coalition threatening to unravel Sparta's entire alliance system.What unfolded on that plain near Tegea wasn't merely a battle of spears and shields, but a collision of political visions for Greece. Alcibiades' ambitious strategy of isolating Sparta through diplomatic maneuvering had gained dangerous momentum. Even Tegea, Sparta's original partner in founding the Peloponnesian League, was considering changing allegiance. For Sparta, defeat would mean watching their carefully constructed hegemony crumble; victory might restore the respect their recent failures had squandered.The battle itself reveals fascinating insights into ancient warfare and leadership. As the armies advanced toward each other—Spartans moving deliberately to flute music, Argives charging with fury—King Agis attempted a complex battlefield maneuver that nearly spelled disaster. The gap that opened in the Spartan line was exploited by elite Argive troops, while some Spartan commanders refused to execute orders they deemed too risky. This moment of crisis tested not just Spartan discipline but the very nature of battlefield command.Ultimately, Sparta's victory transformed the political landscape. Argos was forced back into the Peloponnesian League, with Spartan garrisons installed and democratic institutions replaced by oligarchy. Athens saw its strategic opportunities in the Peloponnese vanish. Yet despite its immediate significance, Mantinea didn't fundamentally alter the war's trajectory—the stalemate between Athenian naval power and Spartan land dominance persisted for another decade. What the battle truly represents is Sparta's remarkable capacity to recover from adversity when its traditions and position were most threatened. Listen as we explore this pivotal moment when the fate of Greece hung in the balance. Support the show

Send us a textAfter five long episodes covering the Mongolians, we return to the narrative.  John III Vatatzes ruled over the Empire in Nicaea, and it was becoming pretty clear that he would be the one to retake Constantinople so long as they could keep up the momentum. But then all of the neighbouring kingdoms, powerful kingdoms that had existed for centuries, were brought to their knees by the Mongolians. In less than five years, the entire world around John Vatatzes was going to change forever. The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events from Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, to the years under the Ottoman Empire, and 1821 when the Greeks fought for independence... all the way to the modern-day.Website: www.moderngreecepodcast.comSOCIAL MEDIA: Go here to chat with us. https://www.instagram.com/historyofmodern%20greece/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578023316172Music by Mark Jungerman: www.marcjungermann.comCheck out our 2nd Podcast: www.antecedors.com

Professor Kozlowski presents a woefully inadequate look at some key ideas in the political philosophy of China and India, specifically:Lao-Tzu's Tao Te ChingThe Analects of ConfuciusMo-TzuThe Laws of ManuAlong the way we'll talk about the differences between Eastern and Western attitudes toward virtue, rule, and government, as well as how these texts take on a very different perspective from those we've seen in Ancient Greece....and then we won't talk about them again until the 20th century or so. Alas - we still need to make room for all that Marx and Hobbes.I will (one day) upload the document I've produced for my students, which excerpts each of the above texts, to my website, so you may be able to find it there.Additional readings include: Mencius, Sun-Tzu's The Art of War, Intrigues of the Warring States, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Bhagavad-Gita, and Fire Emblem for my gamer fans.If you're interested in Professor Kozlowski's other online projects, check out his website: ⁠⁠⁠professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

Natalie is joined by Edith Hall and Nikita Gill to tell the stories of the Nine Earthly Muses, the most admired Greek women poets. They are Sappho, Myrtis, Corinna, Moero, Anyte, Nossis, Erinna, Praxilla and Telesilla. The idea was that these "divine voices" had been nurtured by the Muses themselves.Sappho's magnificent poetry offers a different perspective from Homer's. Her Helen of Troy feels no guilt at all about leaving her family to be with Paris. The poets provide funny, inventive and unexpected angles: Corinna writes about a contest between two local mountains to see which of them can play the best song on the lyre. The disgruntled loser, Mount Helicon, then rains down boulders like snow in displeasure. Praxilla writes drinking songs using her own meter and rhythms. But their work has been scorned and misunderstood by critics and Natalie wants to redress that.'Rockstar mythologist' Natalie Haynes is the best-selling author of 'Divine Might', 'Stone Blind', and 'A Thousand Ships' as well as a reformed comedian who is a little bit obsessive about Ancient Greek and Rome.Nikita Gill is an Irish-Indian poet whose work offers a shift of perspective which centres women in both Greek and Hindu myth as well as folklore. She has been shortlisted for the Goodreads Choice Award in poetry and the Children's Poetry Award and longlisted for the Jhalak Prize. Her new book is Hekate: The Witch.Edith Hall is Professor of Classics at Durham University, specialising in ancient Greek literature. She has written over thirty books and is a Fellow of the British Academy.Producer...Beth O'Dea

Alexander the Great. George Washington. William Shakespeare. Queen Victoria. What do all of these people all have in common? Not just that they're commonly in every student's history class, but what's left out of the textbook: they all routinely used drugs. They got drunk, stoned, high—and they aren't the only ones. Historian and viral TikToker SamKelly Kelly covers 40 historical figures in 40 chapters, starting in Ancient Greece and imperial China through modern day. His viral TikTok account has proven the voracious appetite for these uncovered histories, with more than 100k followers and 2.4 million likes, and HUMAN HISTORY ON DRUGS expands upon his most successful videos while also offering tons of brand-new content.Hysterical, reflective, and illuminating, Kelly introduces readers to the history that isn't included in school's curriculums. He covers well-known historical figures but introduces new angles to their stories that most people don't know about—such as William Shakespeare's fondness for cannabis, Sigmund Freud's love affair with cocaine, and Steve Jobs' endorsementof the benefits of LSD. He shares amazing true stories that will blow the most ardent history fans away, from how one of the most prolific creators of psychedelic drugs was on the DEA payroll, to the CIA allegedly doing sinister experiments with LSD on the college kid who became the Unabomber, to the pope who drank cocaine wine to fortify himself “when prayer was insufficient,” and more.Perfect for fans of bite-sized history, like Bad Days in History and Lies My Teacher Told Me, but also fit for hardcore history buffs, HUMAN HISTORY ON DRUGS is a punchy, easy-to-pick-up read the entire way through. History is rife with drug use and drug users, and HUMAN HISTORY ON DRUGS takes us through those highs (pun intended) and lows on a wittily entertaining ride that uncovers their seriously unexpected impact on our past.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Send us a textIn our final episode on our Mongol mini-series, we discuss the expedition into Europe, which introduced the Christian Knights to the mighty and invincible horde that had just devastated the Chinese and Islamic world. A small two-general army broke through the Kingdom of Georgia, and annihilated the Cumans and Kievan Rus in a deadly ambush, after luring 80,000 soldiers out into the Steppe. By the end of the episode, Genghis Khan will fall dead, many suggest his death was caused by the Black Death, which is a perfect segway to the Black Plague that followed the Mongol Invasions. You can really see how people living at the time thought this was the end of times.  The History of Modern Greece Podcast covers the events from Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and the fall of Constantinople in 1453, to the years under the Ottoman Empire, and 1821 when the Greeks fought for independence... all the way to the modern-day.Website: www.moderngreecepodcast.comMusic by Mark Jungerman: www.marcjungermann.comCheck out our 2nd Podcast: www.antecedors.com

In this episode, we trace the history of pleasure—from Ancient Greece and goddess worship, to the Puritans, patriarchy, and purity culture. You'll hear how joy became shame, how desire got pathologized, and how women's sensuality was stripped down to silence. We talk about how women have fought to stay connected to their bodies, their joy, and their truth. And what it really takes to heal that relationship today. If you've ever felt like pleasure had to be earned, hidden, or explained—this conversation is for you.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.com

This is the third lecture from the Gresham Festival of Musical Ideas.https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/series/musical-ideas-2025This dialogue presents the what and why of Ancient Greek music, and its profound role in philosophy, society and the individual. Education without music was an impossibility in ancient Greece; virtue without music, equally so. One scholar (writing in the late twentieth century) compared the pervasive social presence and impact of the medium of mousikē in Ancient Greece to that of television. But with its participatory motor training and habituation, mousikē, was also a primary mode of acculturation: a way to shape the perceptual attunement and overall outlook of the members of a political community. Engagement with poetry and music pervaded all aspects of Ancient Greek life, and because musical education was the core of Greek education, it was also the core of Greek citizenship and of the virtues. Different musical modes were even thought to impart distinct virtues; for Plato, training in musicality could harmonise the soul, while changes in musical styles and genres could dislocate the entire polity.This lecture was recorded by Milton Mermikides and Melissa Lane on 29th June 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Melissa Lane is Gresham Professor of Rhetoric. Melissa is also the Class of 1943 Professor of Politics, Princeton University and is also Associated Faculty in the Department of Classics and Department of Philosophy. Previously she was Senior University Lecturer at Cambridge University in the Faculty of History and Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. Milton Mermikides  is Gresham Professor of Music.He is Associate Professor in Music at the University of Surrey, Professor of Guitar at the Royal College of Music and Deputy Director of the International Guitar Research Centre.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/virtues-musicGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Announcing The Classical Society - https://theclassicalsociety.comPart 2 of 3 of Caesar's Civil War series. After his lightning conquest of Italy, Caesar faces his greatest challenge yet as Pompey masses a vast army in Greece. In this episode:Caesar's second dictatorship and revolutionary reforms in Rome—citizenship grants, debt relief, and restoration of the proscribedThe dangerous winter crossing of the Adriatic, splitting his forces against Pompey's naval supremacyThe siege of Dyrrhachium and Caesar's ambitious 17-mile circumvallation to trap PompeyThe catastrophic defeat that nearly ended Caesar's career—his worst loss yetThe brilliant strategic retreat showcasing the iron discipline of Caesar's veteransYoung Curio's tragic death in Africa, highlighting Caesar's reliance on inexperienced lieutenantsThe fateful convergence at Pharsalus as both armies march into ThessalyThe decisive moment when Caesar's hidden fourth line shattered Pompey's cavalry chargeThe fall of the Roman Republic as 15,000 Romans died by Roman swordsCaesar's own account reveals a commander pushed to his absolute limits, saved only by the loyalty of soldiers who would "rather eat tree bark than let Pompey slip through our fingers." The battle that destroyed the old Republic hinged on a single morning's decisions, proving that world history sometimes turns on the choices of one man in command. As Caesar stood over the carnage at Pharsalus, he reportedly said: "This is what they chose. After so many deeds in the service of my country, they would have me, Julius Caesar, condemned as a criminal, unless I sought the protection of an army."Works Cited: Gareth Sampson, The Battle of Pharsalus Matthias Gelzer, Caesar: Politician and Statesman James Froude, Caesar: A Sketch, Raaflaub (ed.)

In this episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings), chats with Madia Smith of CYGNUS Human Design and Hoof + Feather Co all about her love for all things bird.Since ancient times, birds have been crucial spiritual vectors, offering divinatory insights in Ancient Greece and Rome (under the formal name "ornithomancy"), shamanic "medicine" as a totem animal, and inspiration for some of our most magical and transcendent works of art, like Swan Lake.Madia describes her hands-on work saving and caring for rescue waterfowl of all shapes and sizes, and shares some key tips and tricks to ensure that these magical birds aren't abandoned, abused or otherwise mistreated by sometimes well-meaning folks (spoiler alert: bread is NOT a food for ducks after all!).She also shares her love for Human Design, astrology, tapping and more, outlining her journey to off-the-grid wild woman AND diviner and coach of the highest order!This is one of those magical episodes that gives us a line of sight into a typically totally "alien" way of living: out in nature, surrounded by magical birds, and contemplating the long count cycles of human epochs!Rachel's LINKS:Rachel's Website: https://www.totemreadings.comTOTEM Readings Substack: https://totemrach.substack.comRachel's Other Links: https://linktr.ee/totemrachOur Sponsors' LINKS:The TOTEM Flower Essence Deck: https://a.co/d/gw16LsGThe TOTEM Tarot Deck: https://totemreadingsatx.etsy.com/listing/1492934343The TOTEM Flower Essences: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TotemReadingsATXTOTEM Spiritual Transformation Coaching: https://www.totemreadings.com/coachingTOTEM Business of Woo Mentoring: https://www.totemreadings.com/business-of-wooMadia's Links:Hoof + Feather COCYGNUS Human DesignSubstackPlease note: The views and opinions expressed on The Skeptical Shaman do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

The Demystify Duo goes to Delphi! This is the place that used to be at the center of the ancient world, a bustling hub of commerce, politics, and religion. At the center of the place was the Delphic Oracle, an event as much as it was a location. Young girls ordained as Pythias would be locked into a room where they would huff volatile gases that emerged from a crack in the floor. As they muttered the details of their psychedelic visions into the ears of priests, they were transmuted into the counsel that would move the world. Today, nothing but ruins remain. As we walk through the scattered columns and shattered statues, we meditate on the nature of civilizations - how gods that rule the world rise and fall, how the people persist, and the lessons that can be gleaned from the olive shaded dust of this ancient place.

Ever since the times of Ancient Greece, humanity has been captivated by Unicorns. Mythical creatures with healing magical properties. But if they are just religious symbols of purity as we are lead to believe in modern times, why are there so many written eyewitness accounts through history?

It's time for Kit and Rory to investigate and discover whether Unicorns are real or not!PATREON PRE-SALE TICKETShttps://www.patreon.com/posts/128752766/2025 TOUR TICKETSwww.thisparanormallife.comFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTubeJoin our Secret Society Facebook CommunitySupport us on Patreon.com/ThisParanormalLife to get access to weekly bonus episodes!Buy Official TPL Merch! - thisparanormallife.com/storeIntro music by www.purple-planet.comEdited by Philip ShackladyResearch by Ewen Friers Hosted on Acast.
