Two firefighters have been killed after their helicopters collided while battling a wildfire west of Athens, as crews across Europe and North America confront one of the northern hemisphere's busiest wildfire seasons. Australia is now joining that international response, sending aircraft and specialist crews to France while continuing to assist firefighting efforts across North America.

Greek police say a man has admitted killing a Scottish woman whose body was found in a suitcase in an abandoned building. The 38-year-old was found in Athens days after she was reported missing. Local officers launched an investigation with cooperation from authorities in the US, the UK and Scotland, and now say they have arrested a 26-year-old man linked to the case. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says it's believed the suspect was from Afghanistan - and the victim volunteered at an organisation to help migrants.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on Europe's raging wildfires.

Pericles was the foremost statesman of Athens' classical age, dominating the political sphere, and giving his name to the building programme that produced the architecture we see on the Acropolis today. But what was he really like beyond the orator and politician? Paul Cartledge, AG Leventis Professor of Greek Culture, honorary citizen of modern day Sparta and author of a new biography of Pericles. We discuss Pericles' mid-life crisis, his genius for giving speeches and we start with Paul's experience of the BBC radio programme In Our Time on which Paul often appears as a guest.

In the realm of ancient Greek history, few figures loom as large as Pericles, whose leadership and vision helped shape the very foundations of democracy in Athens. In this blog post, we delve into the life and legacy of Pericles, exploring his unique blend of statesmanship, demagoguery, and eccentricity, and how these traits influenced the trajectory of Athenian society.Grab a copy of Pericles: Statesman, Demagogue, Eccentric here https://uk.bookshop.org/a/14692/9781836392002If you want to get in touch with History with Jackson email: jackson@historywithjackson.co.ukTo support History with Jackson to carry on creating content subscribe to History with Jackson+ on Apple Podcasts or support us on our Patreon - https://patreon.com/HistorywithJackson?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkTo catch up on everything to do with History with Jackson head to www.HistorywithJackson.co.ukFollow us on Facebook at @HistorywithJacksonFollow us on Instagram at @HistorywithJacksonFollow us on X/Twitter at @HistorywJacksonFollow us on TikTok at @HistorywithJackson Hosted on Acast.

What if our awe of the sacred isn't a one-way street? What if, to an immortal observer, the fleeting intensity of a fragile human life is the true miracle?In this episode, I'm taking you to a quiet, cold night on a rocky hill in Athens, sitting beneath the golden lights of the Parthenon. From that vantage point, we explore a shift in perspective.The View from Athens: Solitude, the Mediterranean night wind, and sitting opposite the Parthenon.The Two-Way Mirror: What does a human life look like to a entity that lives forever? Cosmic Compassion Defined: The subtle shift from personal heartbreak to witnessing the vast, beautiful, and painful canvas of human history.Wisdom of the Ancients: How Existentialism, Eastern philosophy, and Stoicism all point toward the same quiet truth.Grown-Up Love: Moving past the youthful urge to fix the world, and building a warm sanctuary in the present moment."To an eternal being, human life must seem breathtaking. We're here for a heartbeat, yet we burn with incredible passion. Perhaps we're their shooting stars: fleeting, brilliant, and unforgettable simply because we don't last.""Cosmic compassion strips away your heroic fantasies, but it replaces them with a clear boundary. You cannot save a vast, chaotic civilization, but you can build a small, warm sanctuary for the people walking beside you."Stoicism: Finding peace by distinguishing what is within our control from what is not.Existential Melancholy: Accepting impermanence and the inherent absurdity of existence without losing tenderness.Unattached Compassion: Caring deeply for the world while acknowledging that struggle is an integral part of life's tapestry.

Acts 17:16-18 | Paul in Athens | 30 July 2026

Remember when Atlanta won the right to host the 1996 Olympics? The Centennial Olympics, the ones that Athens desperately wanted to host and everyone thought Athens would win because the Olympics were born in Greece? And then Atlanta won, and everyone was surprised? Well, we've got the story of how Atlanta shocked the world. Writer and producer George Hirthler joins us to discuss his documentary "The Games in Black & White." This Emmy award-winning film delves into the unlikely friendship of then-Atlanta mayor Andy Young and conservative lawyer Billy Payne, who joined forces to bring the Olympics to Atlanta and put the city on the world map.  The documentary covers the full spectrum of the Olympics, from bid to the Games themselves. However, along with incredible athletic spectacle and some operational issues, the Atlanta 1996 Olympics are also known for the bombing that took place in Centennial Olympic Park. George talks with us about that incident and the toll that it took on members of the organizing committee. We also discuss the unlikely legacies from these Olympics and how they permanently changed the geography of the city. You can watch "The Games in Black & White" on PBS: https://www.pbs.org/show/the-games-in-black-and-white Also, Jill went to LA for the LA28 World Press Briefing. She's got some impressions of the city, its accessibility and what to look for when getting tickets and booking hotels.  Plus, we have some feedback on potential cauldron lighters!

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to interview Food City Athens,AL, Store Manager Andrea Barnes, and I believe you're going to enjoy her story. Andrea's journey began as a part-time cashier in Chattanooga. Through years of hard work, dedication, and leadership, she worked her way up to become the store manager of the new Food City in Athens. She's also right at home in North Alabama. A graduate of Rogers High in Green Hill, Andrea has a daughter who teaches kindergarten in Limestone County, and she's enjoying one of life's greatest blessings, being a grandmother. During our conversation, we talk about the remarkable history of Food City, from Navy veteran Jack Smith purchasing a Piggly Wiggly in Grundy, Virginia, to opening the very first Food City in 1955. We also discuss the incredible response to the Athens grand opening, support from local officials, what customers can expect, the new stores coming to Oneonta and the County Line Road area, Food City's commitment to giving back to the communities they serve, and the incredible team members who have worked tirelessly over the past several days to prepare for and serve our community. Most of all, this is a story about opportunity. It's a reminder that where you begin doesn't have to determine where you finish. If you enjoy stories about hard work, perseverance, and people making a difference, I think you'll enjoy this one! Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have part two with Andrea Barnes, store manager of the new Food City in Athens,AL as she shares how a part-time cashier position became a career she never imagined. Ten years ago, after moving to Chattanooga, Andrea was looking for a fresh start. A stay-at-home mom for 15 years, she applied to Food City after her daughter encouraged her to do the same. What began as a part-time cashier position soon became an opportunity to grow. Andrea embraced every challenge that came her way, serving as a floral manager, receiver, assistant manager, and ultimately earning the role of store manager. She credits the leaders who believed in her, invested in her development, and opened doors as she proved herself ready for each new opportunity. Her story is a reminder that where you begin doesn't determine where you can go. With hard work, a willingness to learn, and a company that invests in its people, remarkable opportunities can become reality.

RDOD — Our Norwegian Viva Mediterranean Trip Report (Part 1): Venice to Athens

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Andrea Barnes, manager of the new Food City in Athens, AL, as she shares how the company's Friends in Need program helps fight food insecurity right here in our community. Each holiday season, Food City invites customers to purchase a bag of groceries at a reduced price. Once the campaign ends, those grocery bags are ordered by the pallet and donated to local organizations that help families facing food insecurity. Andrea says it's one of the many ways Food City gives back to the communities it serves, ensuring that neighbors helping neighbors becomes more than just a slogan.

For many, the question posed by the church father Tertullian, "What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?," meant that Christians should not read the pagan classics. In reality, Tertullian read and appreciated many of these works! Join Linus and Leia as they talk with Dr. Nadya Williams about the importance of reading the classics as Christians. If you haven't read any of them, this episode may change your mind. And if you have, you will want to re-read them with fresh eyes! Thanks to the generosity of Zondervan Publishing, we are pleased to offer one of our listeners a copy of Nadya's book, Christians Reading Classics. Enter here to win. 

Episode 226: Last time I took you through Macbeth, still one of Shakespeare's most performed plays, but now we come to one that is rarely seen and vies with ‘King John', ‘Two Noble Kinsman' and ‘Timon of Athens' as the least performed Shakespeare play. ‘Pericles' is also a play that did not appear in the first folio and in fact did not make it into a folio edition until 1664 with the second printing of the third folio. More of that history in a moment, but it certainly raises interesting questions about why Hemmings and Condell did not include it in the first folio.

With season 1 and 2 complete we move into Acts: Season 3. The narrative shifts to Antioch and the focus is on Paul - previously called Saul - as he shares the gospel in Gentile areas. ___ With Silas and Timothy back in Berea Paul moves on to Athens, Greece. While waiting for Silas and Timothy, Paul walked around Athens and noticed a great deal of religion but a missing relationship with God.

In the preface for the new book, William Edgar walks through a short history of 20th century apologetics and takes us from Athens to Indiana. We see the shaky ground that the 20th century landscape had Christianity in and the much needed resurgence that people like Kuyper, Van Til, and now Oliphint will guide us to let the roaring lion go forth - foundation and all.

How do we faithfully engage a culture that doesn't share our assumptions about God? In Acts 17, Paul finds himself conversing with the thoughtful gatekeepers of Athens. Rather than retreating from this cultural moment or simply condemning what others believe, Paul listens to them and offers insights that point them to Jesus. We find ourselves needing similar wisdom today. This message continues our series through the book of Acts with a message from guest speaker, pastor and author, Domenic Ruso. We explore how to engage our changing culture with godly wisdom rooted in our love for Jesus and our neighbors. Scripture Referenced: Acts 17:16-34

Did a volcano in Greece reveal the a Greek god —and only for our group?In Part 3 of our Greece travel recap, we leave Athens for Santorini, perform a releasing ritual on a black-rock beach, explore Oia and Fira, survive an absolutely unhinged lobster dinner, and board a literal pirate ship headed for a dormant volcano.While swimming in the volcanic thermal waters, we looked up and saw a massive horned goat standing above us on the cliff. It stayed there surveying our group until we left—and disappeared before the other boats arrived. Was it simply incredible timing, or did a Greek god make an appearance?We also share the deeper magic of the trip: strangers becoming community, dancing together beneath the full moon, protecting one another and creating memories that will last far beyond Greece.Plus: ferry bathroom chaos, the Temple of Poseidon, a spontaneous trip to Naxos, ancient temples to Dionysus and Apollo, Emily's newest tattoo and KristaLyn's newly announced Scotland trip for May 2027.Tell us what you think: coincidence, divine timing or a genuine encounter with a Greek god?CHAPTERS0:00 Did We Encounter a Greek God?0:20 Mercury Retrograde and Episode Setup3:43 Taking the Ferry to Santorini8:44 Oia, the Hotel and the Tourist Crowds13:09 Black Beach Ritual and the Changed Rocks14:24 Cliff Walk, Fira and Shopping19:11 Poseidon and the Lobster Disaster23:09 A Literal Pirate Ship to the Volcano25:54 Thermal Waters and the Appearance of Pan27:34 Mermaids, Community and Dancing33:40 Ferry Bathroom Chaos37:44 Farewell Dinner and Athens40:31 The Real Magic Was the Community42:06 Scotland 2027 Announcement44:01 Thermal Lake and the Temple of Poseidon46:17 Naxos, Dionysus and Apollo50:52 New Tattoo, Oracle Deck and Astrology Preview#Santorini #GreekMythology #SpiritualPodcast

This is a teaser of the bonus episode, "A League by Choice?" found over on Patreon.A voluntary alliance can feel like freedom right up until the day you try to leave. After the Greek victory over Persia in 479 BC, more than a hundred islands and coastal city-states align themselves with Athens in what becomes the Delian League. We walk through why that choice makes sense at the time and why it isn't as simple as “Athens forced an empire on unwilling allies.” We start with the road not taken: Sparta. Even with its wartime prestige, Sparta's priorities stay anchored in the Peloponnese, its naval capacity is limited, and the helot system makes long overseas commitments dangerous. Add the reputational blow of Pausanias in Byzantium, and the eastern Aegean has every reason to look elsewhere for steady leadership. Athens, newly empowered by a fleet funded through the Laurean silver mines and proven in the Persian Wars, can actually patrol the Aegean Sea, protect trade routes, deter Persian interference, and speak to a shared Ionian identity many communities recognize. Then we track how the league's mechanics reshape its politics. Contributions shift from ships and crews to tribute, and what looks like a convenient budget choice slowly centralizes force, money, and decision-making in Athenian hands. The revolts of Naxos and Thasos show the turning point: joining may be voluntary, but withdrawal becomes a trigger for siege, disarmament, and lost autonomy. Even so, many allies stay because the benefits remain real and rebellion is costly and uncertain. If you care about ancient Greece history, the Delian League, and how security pacts evolve into empires, you'll find plenty to argue with here.

Happy International Lonely Guy Friday, broadcasting from Athens with limited Greek, Coke Zero investigations, and billion-dollar brains. Today Kev gets into how one of Greece's biggest stars proves you don't need the biggest audience (you need the right niche!), and how a working vacation led to a humbling realization that the world's most fulfilled people share one uncommon trait: extraordinary self-awareness. He chats how the Enneagram goes beyond describing what you do and uncovers why you do it: what you fear, what drives you, and how your personality changes under stress. How the same behavior can come from completely different emotional engines, and why understanding those motives can transform relationships, leadership, and even your family. Then, how your greatest strength can quietly become your greatest limitation and how replacing “That's just who I am” with “That's the strategy I learned to use” can completely change how you see yourself. Kev also discovers he's a Type 2 Helper with strong Achiever and Challenger traits and why that explains a lifetime of building, protecting, overextending, and occasionally forgetting himself along the way. Plus, how successful families hold regular meetings to improve their relationships, why awareness is the ultimate competitive advantage, and why there are people in the castle and equally valuable people on the ground. Also, why simply showing up opens unexpected doors … and why the opportunity you're waiting for may already be waiting for you. Bye Betches!

Jay asks "Murray, I really enjoyed your podcast about Demosthenes being one of the first generals to have a dedicated flank attack. I have always thought Demosthenes was criminally underrated among historians, because Thucydides writes about quite a few clever tactics of his. Likewise, I think Thrasybulus is another underrated commander as Athens' "last gasp" to preserve their democracy. Yet most casual history enthusiasts have probably never heard of either, while mainly focusing on Alcibiades and Pericles. If you could only pick one, which of the two do you think deserves more praise and recognition among historians?"   Join us on Patreon patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast
