You can find Rebecca Schinsky on IG @rebeccaschinsky and Book Riot at www.bookriot.com   In this week's episode, we chat with Rebecca Schinsky, who is chief of staff for Riot New Media Group and co-host of The Book Riot podcast. Book Riot is the largest independent editorial book site in North America and book lovers can find all kinds of interesting stuff there, such as numerous podcasts, newsletters, and articles about different genres.   I have long been a listener of this podcast and love it because ….I am a book nerd through and through and this podcast gives me the inside look at the world of publishing.  If you enjoy learning about trends and want the inside scoop about how and why certain books make it to your eyeballs or just want to have your pulse on bookish news, this podcast is for you.  Rebecca talks to us about what book trends have had the biggest impact on the industry over the last 15 years, what other goodies you can find at Book Riot.com, and why social media flattens the book options we see in our feeds.   And this week for our book recommendations section, we put on our 10 gallon hats and our chaps because we're talking about westerns. Westerns became popular in the late 1800s and derived from the dime novels of the mid-19th century. Many of these stories were later turned into movies in the 1940s and 1950s, which is probably the way most people had exposure to them. Films like High Noon and Shane were based on western stories. There was a second resurgence of western films based on novels between the 1970s-90s such as The Unforgiven and The Outlaw Josey Wales. We offer westerns that are in the graphic novel genre, the horror genre, literary fiction, and middle grade.   Books Mentioned in this Episode:   1- The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray   2- The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict   3- Harlem Rhapsody by Victoria Christopher Murray   4- Life in Three Dimensions by Shigehiro Oishi    5- Back After This by Linda Holmes   6- Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte   7- Glass Town: The Imaginary World of the Brontes by Isabel Greenberg   8- The Helsinki Affair by Anna Pitoniak   9- Red Widow by Alma Katsu   10- A Five Star Read Recommended by Fellow Book Lover Beth @a_vet_nurse_and_her_books - The Game by Danny Dagan   11- Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry   12- True Grit by Charles Portis   13- The Searchers by Alan LeMay   14- The Searchers: The Making of an American Legend by Glenn Frankel   15- Lone Women by Victor LaValle   16- Coyote Doggirl by Lisa Hanawalter   17- Four Treasures of the Sky by Jenny Tinghui Zhang   18- Whiskey When We're Dry by John Larison   19- The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt   20- Pony by RJ Palacio   Media mentioned--   1- Heretic (Max, 2024)   2- Longlegs (Hulu, 2024)   3- True Grit (2010)   4- Deadwood (Max, 2004-2006)   5- The Searchers (1956)   6- The Sisters Brothers (2018)   Bella Da Costa Greene Exhibit in NYC -  https://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/belle-da-costa-greene    

Although their lives were filled with darkness and death, their love for stories and ideas led them into the bright realms of creative genius. They were the Brontes - Charlotte, Emily, and Anne - who lived with their brother Branwell in an unassuming 19th-century Yorkshire town called Haworth. Their house, a parsonage, sat on a hill, with the enticing but sometimes dangerous moors above and a cemetery, their father's church, and the industrializing town below. It was a dark little home, with little more than a roof to keep out the rain, a fire to keep things warm at night, and books and periodicals arriving from Edinburgh and London to excite their imagination. And from this humble little town, these three sisters and their active, searching minds exerted an influence on English literature that can still be felt nearly two hundred years later.

Send us a Text Message.HIATUS ENCORE: Sisters Jane and Anna Maria Porters' books took Regency-era England by storm just a few years ahead of Jane Austen, and their lives were chock-full of fascinating (and insufferable) characters, intriguing romantic escapades, event-filled interludes at the homes of wealthy acquaintances and desperate gambits to stay one step ahead of the poverty line. Joining us is ASU Regents Professor of English, Devoney Looser, whose new book is Sister Novelists: The Trailblazing Porter Sisters, Who Paved the Way for Austen and the Brontes.

David Frankel played a pioneering role in the commercial development of the internet in South Africa as co-founder and CEO of Internet Solutions. Since then, he's gone on to a successful investing career in the US, where he is co-founder and managing partner at Boston- and New York-based Founder Collective, a seed-stage venture capital fund whose successful investments have included Uber Technologies, Brontes (sold to 3M) and PillPack (sold to Amazon). Frankel, widely regarded as one of the most successful entrepreneurs to come out of South Africa's technology industry, joins TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod on TCS Legends to chat about: • His career, and how the Internet Solutions opportunity came about; • What it was like in the early days of the internet in South Africa; • The fight he led, with Mark Todes, against Telkom's attempts in the 1990s to monopolise the internet industry – and how the industry won the battle; • The cast of characters at Internet Solutions, including brothers Ronnie and Alon Apteker, that made it a special place to be at the time; • Whether he was really offered the job of CEO of Dimension Data; • His studies at Harvard Business School; • The creation of Founders Collective, and why Boston is a great place for a tech-focused venture capitalist to be; and • His views on South Africa in 2024 and his continued connection to the country. Don't miss this insightful interview with one of South Africa's leading entrepreneurs, exploring the role he played in the heady days of the internet in South Africa and what it took to build a successful investment career in the US.

Sarah and Nancy talk about a new compelling new production of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night, starring Brian Cox and Patricia Clarkson, and the new play Underdog: the other, other Bronte - both stories that lay bare the rivalries and difficulties of family life. And what is the UK government thinking about with its latest plan to cut funding for creative arts courses at universities? Plus more praise for Andrew Scott in All of Us Strangers, and tributes to Adrian Schiller and Trevor Griffiths. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Als junges Mädchen las Jean Rhys den englischen Klassiker "Jane Eyre" von Charlotte Bronte. Da sie selbst in der Karibik, den ehemaligen englischen Kolonien, aufgewachsen war, ärgerte sie sich über die Darstellung der Figur der Bertha in "Jane Eyre". Sie stammte aus den West Indies, wurde für verrückt erklärt und am Dachboden eines englischen Landhauses eingesperrt. Ihre Geschichte blieb allerdings im Dunkeln. In "Wide Sargasso Sea" schreibt Jean Rhys die Geschichte von "Bertha" neu - ihr Aufwachsen in der Karibik, ihre Ehe mit einem englischen Gentleman und ihr Weg auf jenen Dachboden, den wir aus "Jane Eyre" kennen. Jean Rhys hat damit einen Roman geschaffen, der sowohl als feministische als auch postkoloniale Klassikerin gilt. Nebenbei ist "Wide Sargasso Sea" ein faszinierendes, intensives Buch, das einen nicht mehr loslässt. Außerdem hört ihr, wie Julia zu den Brontes steht und welch komplizierte Geschichte sie mit "Jane Eyre" verbindet. Was haltet ihr von "Jane Eyre"? Schreibt uns an plaudern@diebuch.at!

Have you heard? The Bronte Parsonage Museum is doing a podcast!Over the next few weeks, our podcast will explore our incredible collection and in turn will be delving into lives in the works of the Bronte family. BUT: you do not have to be a Bronte aficionado to be listening in to this!So we thought we'd give you a little who's who and what's what before you get obsessed with our podcast. Listen to our whistle stop tour of the Brontes lives and get excited for our weekly podcast, starting this Thursday.

Where were the Brontë sisters actually born? If this was a quiz question, most people would give the wrong answer. Even standard books on the Brontë family often gloss over the fact that Charlotte, Emily and Anne – along with their wayward brother Branwell – were all born between 1815 and 1820 in Thornton, a village on the edge of Bradford, and not at the famous Brontë Parsonage in nearby Haworth. The original hearth in front of which they were born – and the modest terraced property in Market Street, Thornton still housing that historic fireplace – is surprisingly little-known even among Bronte enthusiasts. All that is about to change. A group of dedicated volunteers, backed by a couple of grants and a lot of crowdfunding, has just bought the long-neglected house and will soon embark on transforming it into an arts and education project with a difference. Under the banner ‘Be More Brontë', local youngsters will be introduced to the Bronte sisters, hear about wonderful books such as Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, and be encouraged to explore their imaginations and their own future dreams. By 2025, the Brontë Birthplace will be open to the public, featuring a café, a lively programme of educational, community and creative events, and even three guest rooms (named after Charlotte, Emily and Anne respectively) where visitors can stay the night. In this podcast, Duncan McCargo talks to two Brontë Birthplace committee members about the project, and about what the Brontes mean to them. Christa Ackroyd is a former regional television news presenter, while Steve Stanworth is a local historian responsible for the restoration of the nearby Brontë Bell Chapel site. Your support is still needed: please visit brontebirthplace.com to offer financial assistance, or to find out how you can get involved. Duncan McCargo is a professor of global affairs at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and a host on the NBN Literature Channel.

This show was as good as everyone said it was. Also Branwell is Eminem. His forehead is sweaty, knees week, arms are heavy, he has vomit on his sweater already, not-mom's spaghettis. -Ope! There goes gravity!

Crime novelist Cathi Unsworth turned Goth in her teens in rural Norfolk fired by a cocktail of Dennis Wheatley, the Damned on the Peel show and the dark arts of the York Festival “Gothtopia” bill in 1984. She devoted long hours to trying to construct Robert Smith's “tarantula hair” and acquiring black lace garmentry. Something about its music and folklore chimed with a life marooned in the middle of an East Anglian beanfield pondering tales of Shuck, the fabled fire-eyed ghostly hound alleged to roam the neighbourhood at night. We talked to her about her marvellous ‘Season of the Witch: the Book of Goth' for a live podcast recorded at London's 21Soho on 25 September, a very funny and wide-ranging exchange that included … … why Goth is like no other tribe: you never make a full recovery – or ever want to. … the part played in its family tree by Aleister Crowley, Aubrey Beardsley, the Brontes, Joy Division, Magazine, the Cramps, Jim Morrison and Bobby Gentry. … why Leeds became one of Goth's key spiritual centres. … the shocking spectacle of Dave Vanian in full Stygian rig in broad daylight.  … “the three Goth Ians” - Astbury, Curtis, McCulloch. … the significance of Cabaret and A Clockwork Orange.... why Goths feel obliged to dress the part. … the romantic allure of Robert Smith against that of Nick Cave.  … the curious link between Siouxsie and Margaret Thatcher. … and how Goth keeps finding new recruits.   Order ‘Season of the Witch: the Book of Goth' here …https://www.amazon.co.uk/Season-Witch-Book-Cathi-Unsworth/dp/1788706242Tickets for Word In Your Ear live at 21 Soho on October 30th here: https://www.tickettext.co.uk/ysY3FvyFaeSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free! - access to all of our content: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

For October, we discuss Gothic fiction, one of the prompts on the Books and Bites Bingo Reading Challenge. Our picks have all the creepy mansions, women in the attic, and brooding characters you could possibly want. Not to mention fungi! Carrie's PickO Caledonia is a little-known classic that, according to the publisher, “has been compared to the works of the Brontes, Edgar Allan Poe, and Edward Gorey.” This atmospheric and witty novel opens with the death of 16 year-old Janet, who has been murdered in her family's dilapidated castle in the Scottish Highlands. Except for her pet jackdaw, nobody seems to miss her much: her family wants her quickly buried and forgotten. What follows is not a traditional mystery. Instead, the book goes back in time to tell the story of her sad and misunderstood life.Pairing: Cinnamon scones from Outlander Kitchen: The Official Outlander Companion Cookbook or, for a vegan option, Buttery Scottish Teatime Scones. Jacqueline's PickHave you ever felt strongly about a house? You do not know why but for some unexplainable reason you feel a connection or a presence?In the young adult novel Frost by Marianna Baer, main character Leena has strong feelings the first time she sees an old two-story Victorian house at the edge of her boarding school. But after Leena moves into the house with her friends, things turn sinister. If you enjoyed Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier, you might enjoy Frost.Pairing: Aztec Chile Chocolate cupcakes.Michael's PickMexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is like Lovecraft meets Wuthering Heights. In 1955 Mexico, young socialite Noemi is sent to High Place after her father receives a distressing letter from her cousin, Catalina. In a crumbling manor on top of a mountain, she finds Catalina confined to her room due to “tuberculosis.” While her cousin rests during the day, Noemi roams the house and grounds, where she slowly uncovers some of the family's history and dark secrets–including their strange fascination with fungi.Pairing: Garlic mushrooms.

In this week's episode, Lillian swims across the Atlantic with Piper on her back! It's very impressive. We also talk about a 2016 BBC documentary about the many times the BBC adapted the Brontes work and why. Not as impressive, but still worth talking about.

This week we are giving you something we are calling a "remix" episode. We have a new interview with former guest Mick Sullivan combined with some of his previous interview way back in 2019. Amy is traveling this week so we've reconnected with former guest Mick Sullivan, who is the curator of guest experience at the Frazier History Museum and is also the creator of the award winning children's history podcast, The Past and the Curious, which grew out of the stories he tells people at the museum. His quirky combo of humor and music keeps both kids and adults interested and sneaks in a little history in the process. The success of his podcast led to the publication of his first children's book, The Meat Shower, which is a fun telling of the historical event of meat falling from the sky in the 1800s. He has now published a book for older kids called I See Lincoln's Underpants: The Surprising Times Underwear (and the People Wearing Them) Made History. This episode is a little something new and something old. In this combo episode, we chat with Mick to see what he has been up to since his last book was published and you can also hear more about his first book which we discussed with him in the early days of the show in episode 27. You can find more from Mick Sullivan including podcast episodes at thepastandthecurious.com/. For show notes for any episode, go to our website at www.perksofbeingabooklover.com. We are also on Instagram @perksofbeingabookloverpod and on FB Perks of Being a Book Lover.

Growing up in remote rural Norfolk, crime writer Cathi Unsworth had a Goth conversion, a condition from which, she happily admits, you never fully recover. And never want to. She discovered Dennis Wheatley's ‘To The Devil A Daughter', heard Siouxsie & the Banshees on the Peel Show and saw a picture of Robert Smith in a magazine which she stuck by her bedroom mirror to help her construct his spectacular dishevelment. She's just published ‘Season Of The Witch: the Book of Goth', a highly entertaining account of the dark side of rock starting out with the Brontes, Edgar Allan Poe and Aubrey Beardsley and heading, via Jim Morrison, Jacques Brel and Nico, to Joy Division, the Cure and the Sisters of Mercy. This is a very funny and self-mocking pod in which you'll find the following … … why Yorkshire is “Goth's Own Country”. … the secret ingredient in Mac McCulloch's vertical hair. … Nick Cave - “the Dark Lord of Goth Music” (©️ the Daily Mail) – at the Coronation. … Lee Hazlewood's advice to Nancy Sinatra when recording Goth staple These Boots Are Made For Walking. … “changing into fishnet tights in the bogs at school”, rival pop gangs, mooching about in graveyards and a mate “who used to sit up trees reading Dennis Wheatley and summoning Satan”. .. the joy of crimpers and backcombing. … “spreading the virus” at the Batcave. … the inventor of the term Goth and the key Gothmothers and Gothfathers. … local folklore about hellhounds in Norfolk. … her first gig, the York Rock Festival in 1984 featuring the Bunnymen, Sisters of Mercy, Spear of Destiny and the Redskins: “Gothtopia”! … “Beer Girls and Beer Boys” and why it was best to avoid them. … dark Satanic mills. … and the greatest Goth record ever made. Order ‘Season of the Witch: the Book of Goth' here …https://www.amazon.co.uk/Season-Witch-Book-Cathi-Unsworth/dp/1788706242Subscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free! - access to all of our content: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Piper and Lillian discuss Frances O'Connor's take on the lives of the Brontes, specifically Emily, and the events of her life that inspired her gothic writing. If you like moody teen dramas AND classic literature, this one's for you.

Sisters Jane and Anna Maria Porters' books took Regency-era England by storm just a few years ahead of Jane Austen, and their lives were chock-full of fascinating (and insufferable) characters, intriguing romantic escapades, event-filled interludes at the homes of wealthy acquaintances and desperate gambits to stay one step ahead of the poverty line. Joining us is ASU Regents Professor of English, Devoney Looser, whose new book is Sister Novelists: The Trailblazing Porter Sisters, Who Paved the Way for Austen and the Brontes. Kirkus Reviews calls it “a triumph of literary detective work.”Discussed in this episode: Sister Novelists: The Trailblazing Porter Sisters, Who Paved the Way for Austen and the Brontes by Devoney LooserDevoney LooserJane AustenSir Walter ScottBraveheart (1995 film)Artless Tales by Anna Maria PorterThe Dashwood Sisters“L'Allegro” by John Milton“Il Penseroso” by John MiltonThaddeus of Warsaw by Jane PorterThe Scottish Chiefs by Jane PorterThe Hungarian Brothers by Anna Maria PorterQueen VictoriaAndrew JacksonEmily DickinsonWaverly by Sir Walter Scott“The End of the English Major” (The New Yorker, 2/27/2023)Sophia Lee's The Recess  For episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.

Filmsuck co-hosts disagree over the new Emily Bronte biopic, Emily, currently playing in theaters. Dolores likes the way the film depicts the creative development of the author of the towering Gothic novel Wuthering Heights, and Eileen--a Bronte Sisters devotee--hates it so much she's willing to see the world burn if only this film could be destroyed. Well, tastes differ.

(Morpheus).• قي الرياضة: الألعاب الأولمبية وشعلة النار بروميثيوس (Prometheus)• في تقنية المعلومات: حصان طروادة يطلق على الفيروس المتسلسل والمأخوذ من ملحمة هوميروس الإلياذة (Trojan Horse)• في أنظمة الدفاع "كعب أخيل" (Achilles Heel): والمقصود بها نقطة الضعف في أي نظام دفاعي والمأخوذة من موت أخيل في ملحمة طروادة عن طريق رميه بسهم مسموم في كعبه.• في الفن: "تأثير بيجماليون"، نسبة إلى بجيماليون النحات الكاره للنساء، ونحت تمثال لامرأة من العاج ووقع في حبها. وتعني لمن يقع في حب الشيء الذي يبتكره وبالتالي يصبح استثنائياًوغيرها الكثير من الأمثلة واليوم سوف تكون حلقتنا عن الوجود وقصص ميلاد الآلهة اليونانية وانوه ان لأصدقائنا الذين يستمعون إلينا عبر سحابة أدب بأن مدة الحلقة 45 دقيقة ولذا تجدون التكملة في الجزء التالي من هذه الحلقة.وأود ان أوضح التالي:• أن حلقات هاوس زوفي من الناحية العلمية ليست أكاديمية وهي أقرب للدردشة العلمية والتي ربما نخطئ في معلومة او نكون غير دقيقين في بعضها ورغم ذلك سنبذل جهدنا بإيصال المعلومة الصحيحة مع ذكر مرجعها.• اعتمدت على رسم شجرة الأنساب اليونانية عن طريق المايكروسوفت ورد نظام الهيكل الإداري وهو ليس برنامج فعال لرسم الشجر بصفة عامة وبصفة خاصة لشجرة النسب اليوناني الآلهي وستعرفون مدى تعقد الأنساب اليونانية في هذه الحلقة. لذا جعلت الذكر باللون الأزرق والأنثى باللون الأخضر افتراضا مني انهم ذكور واناث.في البداية لابد ان نأخذ نبذة مختصرة جدا عن:• أهم الكتب التراثية وبعض المراجع الحديثة.• أنساب الشعب اليوناني وارتباطها بنسب الآلهة.• طبيعة وجغرافية أرض اليونان.أهم الكتب اليونانيةبالنسبة لأهم الكتب لقصص وأساطير الشعب اليوناني:• كتب الأساطير والملاحم:o ميلاد او نسب الآلهة (Theogony) لهيسيود (Hesiod) وهو كتاب صغير لكن عظيم يذكر فيه تزاوج الآلهة والطيتان والكيانات الأولية والوحوش.o الأشغال والأيام (Work and Days) كذلك لهيسيود (Hesiod) كتبه لأخيه بيرسيس (Perses) الذي اغتصب ارضه بالتعاون مع أحد القضاء ويخبره لابد من التعب للحصول على الأرض وهذا كله بسبب الآلهة والمشاكل التي فيما بينها وهو كتاب مهم يوضح فيه قصص واجيال البشر عند الإغريق وكذلك يحكي فيه قصة باندورا وكيف المرأة بلاء على الرجال من زيوس.o كتاب المرأة (Catalogue of woman) او إييا (Ehoiai) لهيسيود (Hesiod) كتاب مفقود لم توجد منه إلا شذرات قليلة رغم ذلك به معلومات مهمة عن نسب اليونانيين وغير انساب اليونانيين.o ملحمة الإلياذة (Iliad) لهوميروس (Homer): قصة حرب الطرواديين (The Trojans) مع الآخيين (Achaean) والتي استمرت 10 سنوات، واختطاف باريس (Paris) الطروادي لهيلين (Helen Troy) زوجة ملك أسبرطة (Sparta) ميلنيوس (Menelaus). وقصص الأبطال: آخيل (Achilles)، باتروكلُس (Patroclus)، هيكتور (Hector)، أوديسيوس (Odysseus) وحصان طروادة الشهير. o ملحمة الأوديسة (Odyssey) لهوميروس (Homer): الملحمة الثانية لهوميروس والتي تأتي أحداثها بعد حرب طروادة (Trojan War) مباشرة. وبطلها أوديسيوس (Odysseus) ملك إيثكا (Ithaca) الذي تاه في البلاد والبحار 10 سنوات بسبب لعنة بسيادون (Poseidon) إله البحر وقصة زوجته بينولبي (Penelope) مع الذين أرادوا الزواج منها للاستيلاء على مُلك أوديسيوس.o ملحمة الأرجونوتيكا ((Argonautica لأبولونيوس الرودسي (Apollonius of Rhodes) التي تحكي قصة جيسون (Jason) مع بحارة الأرجون (The Argo) والصوف الذهبي (Golden Fleece)o أشغال هرقل (The Labors of Heracles): قصة أعمال هرقل الاثنا عشر كلف بها للتكفير عن خطاياه بسبب لعنة هيرا (Hera) زوجة زوس (Zeus) وكل مهمة أصعب من الأخرى وفي كل مرة كان يقتل وحش أسطوري مثل الأسد النيمي (the Nemean lion) والهيدرا (Lernaean Hydra) وأشهر كتاب القصة هو بيسندار (Peisander) وهو اول من ذكر ان هرقل بعد ان قتل الأسد النيمي سلخه وارتدى جلده. وقد عملنا حلقة في بودكاست كارتونيشن عن أعمال هرقل مقارنة بفيلم ديزني (Hercules). • بعض المراجع لمن أراد الاستزادة:o كتاب المكتبة اليونانية Bibliotheca او مكتبة أبولودورس الزائف (Pseudo-Apollodorus) وهذا كتاب مهم جدا فهو يسرد التاريخ اليوناني الأسطوري بطريقة سلسلة جدا وهو أسهل الكتب رغم كتابته بعد القرن الأول للميلاد.o الأدب اليوناني - من سلسلة زدني علما o الميتولوجيا اليونانية -من سلسلة زدني علماo تاريخ الأدب اليوناني – الدكتور علاء صابر -مكتبة لبنان ناشرونo كتاب التحولات أو مسخ الكائنات (The Metamorphoses) لأوفيد (Ovid) وهو شاعر روماني كتبه في القرن الثامن فقد جمع القصص اليونانية والرومانية الشفهية وتوجد ترجمتين:o مسخ الكائنات - نسخة دار المعارف - محمد عكاشةo التحولات – ترجمة أدونيس.o وانا انصح بكتاب باللغة الإنجليزي وهو دليل جيد يجمع لك القصص ومصادرها واهمها واسمه:o A brief guide to the Greek myths by Stephen p. Kershawنسب الشعب اليوناني الأسطورينسب الشعب اليوناني:الشعب اليوناني مصنف اصطلاحياً من الشعب الهندو-أوربي الشعوب التي هاجرت من منقطة بين اسيا وأوربا ولكن يهمنا هنا الفكرة الأسطورية وليس الفكرة الأنثروبولوجيه. فهم يعتقدون ان نسبهم امتداد ومتصل بالآلهة الأولمبية والطيتان فالقصة تحكي ان هناك شخص اسمه دوكيليان (Deucalion) وزوجته بيرا (Pyrra) وهو يمثل نوح في الأخبار التوحيدية فله قصة مشابهة لقصة نوح عليه السلام والطوفان سنذكرها في حينه.• دوكيليان قيل انه بن بروميثيوس خالق البشر ومختلف في امه قيل انها هيسيوني (Hesione) وفقاً لهيسيود.• بيرا هي ابنة ابيمثيوس (Epimetheus)، اخ بروميثيوس، وامها باندورا (Pandora) صاحبة قصة الصندوق وكذلك سنذكرها في حينه.• دوكيليان وبيرا لديهم ثلاثة أبناء يمثلون السلالة والقبائل اليونانية:o هيلين وثيا وباندورا الثانية• هيلين هذا ما يطلقون به اليونانيين أنفسهم حتى اليوم لذا تجد ان اليونان اسمها الجمهورية الهيلينية وتجد في جوازهم الجنسية هيليني. o هيلين لديه ثلاثة أبناء من حورية ماء الـ(nymph)أورسيس (Orseis): أيوليس (Aeolus) اب (الأيوليين)  دوروس (Dorus) اب الدوريين) زاذس (Xuthus) وهذا زاذس لديه ابنين:• أخايس (Achaeus) اب الآخيون.• واخيراً أيونيس (Iones) أب الأيونين وقيل ان العرب اسمتهم اليونانيين بناءاً عليه.• ثيا قيل انها حبلت بواسطة زيوس (Zeus) وانجبت:o ماجنس (magnes)o ومقدون (Macedon) سلالة الإسكندر الأكبر (Alexander the Great) والفيلسوف ارسطو (Aristotle) ولهذا السبب قيل انه لم يرث اكاديمية افلاطون (Plato) لأنه ليس أثينيي (هيليني)• باندورا الثانية حبلت أيضا بواسطة زيوس وأنجب جرايكوس (Gragecus) وأبناء هذا جرايكوس كانوا من اول المهاجرين لبلاد روما (إيطاليا) وبسبب ذلك سمي الشعب اليوناني بالإغريق.o جرايكوس (Gragecus) لديه حسب هيسيود (Hesiod) بن اسمه لاتينوس (Latinus) هل هو أب اللاتينيين؟ هل هو لاتينوس المذكور في الإنيادة (Aeneid) للشاعر الروماني فيرجل (Virgil)؟ هل فيرجل (Virgil) هو المذكور في الكوميديا الإلهية (Divine Comedy) للشاعر الإيطالي دانتي (Dante)؟ دانتي وفيرجل من ديفل ماي كراي (Devil may cry)؟ الله أعلم.o إضافة أخيرة للأنساب: وفقاً لهيسيود في كتاب المرأة هناك شخص اسمه عربوس (Arabus) او عريبيوس (Arabius) هو بن هرميس (Hermes) وثرونيا (Thronia).وهذا نبذة جدا مبسطة لسلالة الشعب اليوناني ودائما ما تجد عند التعمق في السلالات اليونانية حتى بعد الامتداد نجد ان نسباً لأحدى الآلهات او الطيتان بطريقة او بأخرى.الطبيعة الجغرافية والسياسية لليونانالطبيعة الجغرافية: اليونان شبه جزيرة طبيعتها وعرة وكثيرة الجبال وحولها جزر صغيرة كثيرة داخلها جبال ومرتفعات كذلك.  ولهذا كان الاتصال بين المدن شبه صعب بسبب وعارة الطرق وقيل هذا أحد أسباب عدم توحدهم كدولة وحدة الا في عهد الإسكندر.ولكن الملاحة البحرية بين الجزر في بحر ايجة شبه عوضت التواصل ولهذا التجارة الملاحية في كانت مثمرة بينهم وكأن البحر عوض ووحد ما فرقته الجبال والأرض. وقد سكنوا اليونانيين في أجزاء من مصر بالإسكندرية، وكذلك على الساحل الغربي في تركيا وقيل ان هناك حصلت معركة الإلياذة الشهيرة في مدينة طروادة.الطبيعة السياسية:ذكرنا ان صعوبة التواصل بين اليونانيين بسبب الظروف الجغرافية للمنطقة كانت أحد أسباب عدم توحدهم في دولة وحدة لذا كانت المدن والجزر اليونانية عبارة عن دول مستقلة صغيرة (City State) بعضها جزر ومدن ممالك، بعضها جزر ومدن جمهورية، بعضها جزر ومدن عشائر وقبائل.وهكذا نكون انتهينا من مقدمة الحلقة ونبدأ بقصص ميلاد الآلهة.ميلاد الآلهةمصدر القصص والأنسلب لهذا البودكاست:o بالنسبة لميلاد الآلهة سأذكر التي بها قصص واظن انه مهم، معتمداً على كتاب هيسيود ميلاد الآلهة.o الشعب اليوناني كان يتداول هذا القصص بشكل شفهي والكتب التي ذكرناها كتبت لاحقا في أعمال شعرية واعمال ملحمية وأعمال مسرحية.كيف يبدأ هيسيود ميلاد الآلهة: يذكر هيسيود بأنها إلهام من الميوسيس (The Muses)، ربات الفنون التسعة والتي ظهرن في فيلم ديزني هرقل، وأنهن يرقصن وينشدن في جبل هيليكون (Helicon Mount) وقد اهدياه غصن زيتون وسيلة تواصل بينه وبين ربات الفنون ومن خلال ألهم بقصيدة الثيوجني (Theogony).o ذكر هيسيود ان ربات الفنون التسعة، إذا فضلن ملك من الملوك، فبمجرد ميلاده يصببن من ريقهن في فمه فيصبح عذب الكلام.o وهن بنات زيوس من امهم نيموزين، في انمي بهذا الاسم، آلهة الذاكرة وهي أحد بنات اورانوس وجايا.o زيوس تشكل في شكل بشري وواقع نيموزين (Mnemosyne) تسعة ليالي وفي كل يوم كانت تنجب أنثى وهن: كليو ربة التاريخ (Cleo) اوتربي ربة الموسيقى (Euterpe) تالي ربة الكوميديا (Thalia) ملبومين للمأساة او التراجيديا (Melpomene) ترببسيكور للرقص (Terpsichore)  اراتوا للشعر الغنائي او به وصف حسي (Erato) بوليمني للمسرح (Polyhymnia) اوراني للفلك (Urania) كاليوب للشعر الملحمي (Calliope).وقد ذكرت مقدمة هيسيود عن ربات الفنون لأن القارئ للأدب او الملاحم اليونانية دائما ما سيجد أن المؤلف يبدأ بالابتهال لهؤلاء التسعة.قصص الوجود:نجد في قصص الميلاد أو أنساب الآلهة أن الوجود وجد قبل ميلاد الآلهة. والآلهة بعد ذلك أتت لكي تنظم الوجود. وانتهز هذه الفرصة في ذكر أنواع الكائنات عند اليونان:• الكيانات الأولية (Primordial):الكيانات التي ظهرت مع بداية الوجود وتمثل الطبيعة وظواهرها، وظهر منهم أول من حكم العالم.• الجبابرة (Titans):الجبابرة: الجيل الثاني والذي أزاح الكيانات من الحكم وأخذ مكانهم.• الأولمبيين (The Olympians):الجيل الثالث والذي خاض حرب ضد الجبابرة (Titanomachy) وحكم العالم. وأطلق عليهم الأولمبيين لاتخاذهم جبل أوليمبس سكن لهم.• المخلوقات الأسطورية (Mythical Creatures): الوحوش (Monsters)، الحوريات (Nymphs)، القنطور (Centaur)، وغيرهم من ابناء الجبابرة وملعوني الأولمبيين.• أنصاف الآلهة (Demi-God):كائنات نصفها آلهة ونصفها بشر وهؤلاء كثير منهم أبطال وكثير منهم أبناء زوس مثل: بيرسيوس (Perseus)، هيراكليس (Heracles)، آخيل (Achilles) وهؤلاء لديهم الفرصة للترقي ويصبحون آلهة مثل داينوسيس (Dionysus).• البشر:هؤلاء الذين عاصروا وعبدوا الآلهة منذ جيلهم الذهبي (Golden Age) وحتى الجيل الحديدي (Iron Age) وسنذكر قصصهم بالتفصيل ان شاء الله.الكائنات الأولية:• أول الكيانات وجوداً هو كايوس (Chaos) ويمثل الخواء وقد ظهر في لعبة هيديس (Hades Video Game). • ثم ظهرت جايا (Gaia) وهي تمثل الأرض، وظهر تارتورس (Tartarus) ويمثل قاع قاع الأرض وظهر كذلك ايروس (Eros) وهو يمثل الرغبة.o قيل ان هؤلاء الثلاث هم أبناء كايوس وقيل انهم ظهروا مع كايوس.• كايوس لديه أبناء آخرين:o نيكس (Nyx) وتمثل الليل. وظهرت في لعبة هيديسo ايريبس (Erebus) يمثل الظلام.• نيكس واخاها ايريبس قرروا انهم ينجبوا كيانات أخرى وسنرى ان إنجاب الأخ من أخته طبيعي جداً عند الآلهة اليونانية:• هيمرا (Hemera) وهو يمثل النهار.• ايثر (Aether) وهو غطاء السماء التي تتنفسه الكيانات لذا في الألعاب الروائية (Table-top RPG) والعاب الفيديو (RPG Games) نجد ان الذي ينعش نقاط السحر المستخدمة او المفقودة مشروب الإيثر (Ether).وطبيعي جدا ان الكيانات ممكن تقرر الإنجاب بدون أي تواصل جنسي ومن ذاتها بالفيض مثل أبناء نيكس (Nyx):• ثانتوس (Thanatos) وهو مثل ملك الموت وهو ظهر في لعبة هيديس• موروس (Moros) وهو يمثل الهلاك (Doom).• هيبنوس (Hypnos) وهو يمثل النوم وقد ظهر في لعبة هيديس أيضاً.• أونيروس (Oneiros) وهو يمثل الأحلام.• مومس (Momus) ويمثل اللوم السخرية او إله الساتير (Satir) كائن اسطوري.• اوزيس (Oziys) ويمثل الويل.• وعندها كذلك الكيريس (The Keres) هن كائنات بأجنحة يمثلن المصير الموت المفجع ولهن دور مثل الفالكيريس لكن هن لا يأخذن الموتى من المقاتلين للجنة إنما لقاع الجحيم. • والثلاثي الميوري (Moirai) سيدات القدر:o كلوثو التي تغزل وتلف الخيطo ليتشيس التي تمد خيطo أتروبوس التي تقطع الخيط• وكذلك عندها الهيسبريديس (Hesperides) حوريات الغسق (Evening Nymphs)، حارسات التفاح الذهبي وقيل انهن سبع.• نيميسيس (Nemesis) ويمثل القصاص ولهذا يسمى العدو الأكبر للأبطال بالنميسيس • أباتي (Apate) تمثل التضليل (Deception)• جيراس (Geras) ويمثل الشيوخة.• فيلوتيس (Philotes) ويمثل المحبة او الصداقة.• ديسكورد (Discord) نعم ديسكورد أو ايريس (Eris) وتمثل الخلاف.ما ذكرت هذا نموذج لميلاد او تزاوج الآلهة وكتاب هيسيود يذكر عشرات الآلهة المولودة بالتزاوج، محارم او بغير محارم، أو بالفيض. ومن هؤلاء الآلهة كريتوس (Kreatos) ويمثل القوة أو القدرة هو بن الجبار بالاس (Pallas) ونهر الجحيم (Styx) واكتفي بهذا القدر من نموذج ميلاد الآلهة وندخل على أول الملاحم.أولى الدماء بين الآلهةجايا (Gaia) واقعت ابنها أورانوس (Uranus) وأنجبوا الذين يطلق عليهم:• الجبابرة أو التيتان او إذا نقحرت الطيتان (The Titans) وهم اثنا عشر: 1. اوكيانوس (Okeanos) وهذا شيخ كبير واب لكثيرين.2. كويوس ((Coeus.3. كريوس (Crius).4. هايبريون (Hyperion).5. ايابتوس (Iapetus).6. ثيا (Theia).7. ريا (Rhea).8. ثيميس (Themis).9. نيموزين (Mnemosyne) أم ربات الفنون.10. فيبي (Phoebe) وليست فيبي من (Friends).11. تيثس (Tethys).12. كرونوس (Cronus) أصغرهم وله قصة مهمة سنذكرها بعد قليل.• وأنجبوا الثلاثي السايكلوبس (Cyclops) وهم الذين صنعوا الأسلحة لزيوس واخوته وهو دور مشابه للأقزام (Dwarfs) في الأساطير النورسية (Norse Mythology):1. برونتوس (Brontes) ويمثل الرعد.2. ستروبس (Steropes) ويمثل البرق.3. ارجس (Arges) ويمثل الوميض.• ذو المئة اليد (the Hecatoncheires) والذين يجب الا يذكروا حسب هيسيود ولكن يذكرهم:1. كوتاس (Cottus).2. برورياس (Briareus)3. جايجيس (Gyges).أترون كل هؤلاء الأبناء؟ اورانوس كان لا يحبهم ويكرههم، بالذات الثلاثي الأخير، وكان كل ولد من هؤلاء عندما تلده جايا يقوم اورانوس بحبسه في مكان سري داخل جايا وقيل داخل تارتروس (Tartus). طبيعي جدا هذا كان يزعج جايا فقد تمددت وترهلت بسبب هذا الحشي، ولذلك بغضت ابنها اورانوس وقامت بصناعة سلاح أسود مكون من مادة الأدمانتيوم (adamantium) يشبح المنجل (Sickle) أو المحش (Scythe) وأعلنت بعد ذلك لجميع أبنائها من يقوم بالإنتقام من ابيهم ويساعدها؟ فتطوع لذلك إبنها الأصغر كرونوس وأخذ المنجل وانتظر اللحظة الحاسمة؛ فقد كان اورانوس يهبط من السماء دائما على الأرض لجايا وينام. هنا اتى كرونوس (Cronos)بضربة واحدة قام بخصي اباه اورانوس. وهنا تناثرت الدماء وبعض قطرات المني وهبطت على الأرض والبحر:• فقطرات الدماء التي سقطت على جايا الأرض بعدها مباشرة ولدوا:1. الساخطات (The Furies) او الإيرنيس (The Erinyes): اليكتو (Alecto)، تيسفوني (Tisphone)، وميجرا (Megra) وهؤلاء يتنقمن من الذي يحنث قسمه للآلهة او يقسم بالآلهة قسم كاذب.2. العمالقة (Giants)3. حوريات المُران (Ash-tree Nypmhs)• أما قطرات المني فسقطت على البحر وتحولت إلى رغوة فولدت أفروديت (Aphrodite).بعد ذلك قام كرونوس بتحرير أخوته من الجبابرة الأثناعشر، ماعدا السايكلوبس وذو المئة يد! وكأنه يقول المشكلة منكما فعلاً! (it's not you. It is you!). وهذا مجدداً أغضب جايا فهي لم تتكبد هذا العناء لكي يظلوا أبنائهم حبسى.ميلاد الأولمبيينلعنة أورانوس:الكيان أورانوس (Uranus) غضب على ابنه كرونوس (Cronos) وتنبأ بأن من أبنائه من سيأخذ من الحكم بسبب فعلته تلك. ولم يفت من كرونوس أخطار تلك النبوءة، فقد أختار كرونوس اخته ريا (Rhea) زوجة له وأجبت له الأولمبيين. ولكي يتجنب لعنة أباه أورانوس كان كرونوس بمجرد ميلاد أبنائه يبلعهم مباشرة دون ان ينظر إليهم وكان من ابتلعهم كرونوس بالترتيب هم:1. هيستيا (Hestia).2. ديميتر (Dimeter).3. هيرا (Hera).4. هيديس (Hades).5. بوسيدون (Poseidon).ميلاد زوس:هذا أحزن وأغضب زوجة كرونوس، ريا. وقد كانت ريا حامل بجنين أخير ولا تريد له مصير أخوته السابقين. فقامت ريا بالشكوى لصاحبة التجربة جايا. فأشارت جايا على ريا ان تلد مولودها في معبد بجزيرة كريت (Crete) وهو الأبن الأخير لكرونوس، سيد الآلهة، الماجن، المتحول، اب الكثيرين، وزوج وعاشق لكثيرات الآله زوس (Zeus). بعد ولادة زوس أودعته ريا لدى جايا، ثم ذهب جايا لكرونوس معها حجر ملفوف برداء كأنه طفل حديث الولادة، وأعطته كرونوس، والأخير قام مباشرة بابتلاعه دون النظر في الرداء.نشأ زوس جبل آيدا (Mount Ida) في كريت وقام بتربيته شياطين الجبل (The Kouretes)، قد قيل إنهم حوريات لكن اخترت شياطين من باب التنويع وهن من أولاد جايا ولا نعلم من اين أتوا، فجايا ام لكثيرين، وكن يرقصن ويصرخن عندما يبكي او يصرخ زوس. والتي أرضعت زوس هي أميثليا (Amaltheia) ابنة الشمس هيلوس (Helios) وهي كائن أقرب للمعزة للبشر وكانت تحتضنه عندما تريد اخفاؤه عن كرونوس. وعندما بلغ سن الرجولة ذهب زوس لإنقاذ اخوته بالتعاون مع جايا وأمه وبن عمته ميتيس (Metis) ابنة أوكيانوس (Okeanos)، التي صنعت دواء مقيئ، وزعم مني التي قامت بإعطاء كرونوس الدواء هي ريا. وبمجرد شربه استفرغ أولا الحجر، ثم بسايدون، هيديس، هيرا، ديميتر وأخيراً هستيا. لذا تقنيا زوس أصبح الأكبر الآن وهيستيا هي الصغرى، وهنا قامت حرب العشر سنوات، الملحمة التيتانية (Titanomachy).الحرب التيتانيةالحرب:اتخذ زوس جبل أولمبيا مقرا له (Mount Olympus)، واجتمع مع اخوته وبقية الآلهة التيتانية وأخبرهم بأنه سيخوض الحرب ضد أبيه كرونوس ووعد الذين سيشاركون الحرب معه، في حال انتصاره، سيعطيهم مكافآت وسيحافظون على مناصبهم التي نالوها مع الجبابرة.أستجاب بعضهم ورفض بعضهم وأشهر من استجاب لدعوة زوس هو بروميثيوس (Prometheus) ابن الجبار ايابتوس (Iapetus) وكان معنى اسمه بعيد النظر، وحث بقية اخوه ابيمثيوس (Epimetheus) ومعنى اسمه قليل العقل او قصير النظر، وكذلك حث اخوه أطلس (Atlas) واستجاب الأول ورفض الأخير.وبدأت الحرب واستمرت 10 سنوات سجالاً، لا نعلم ماهي حيثيات الحرب ولا المعارك التي حدثت، ولكن نعلم ان زوس استشار جدته جايا كيف ينتصر على ابيه؟ فأخبرته ان عليه تحرير أبنائها الثلاثي سايكلوب وكذلك ذوي المئة يد، وهم سيحققون النصر، وفعلا قام زوس بالهبوط إلى تارتروس وقتل حارسة السجن كامبي (Kampe) وحررهم.طلب زوس بعد ذلك منهم المساعدة، فقام الثلاثي باختراع ثلاث أسلحة: الصواعق لزوس (Thunder Bolts)، خوذة الإخفاء لهيديس (Hades Helmet) والرماح ذي الثلاث شعب لبسايدون (Trident).  وبفضل الأسلحة استطاع زوس أخيرا الانتصار ثم حبس من حاربه من الجبابرة في اقصى قاع الأرض وبذلك أنتصر أخيرا زوس وحكم الأرض.لكن هذا الانتصار ليس نهاية الحروب، لأن جايا الأرض، أزعجها مجدداً حبس أبنائها. فكل ما تريد جايا فقط ان يكون جميع أبنائها أحراراً! قتلوا، نهبوا، استولوا لا يهم! المهم ان يكونوا أحراراً. فبدأت مجددا بحياكة حبكة أخرى تنتقم فيها من زوس في ملحمة أخرى، تسمى الـ(Gigantomachy) وسنعرض تفاصيلها الحلقة القادمة ان شاء الله.

In Greek literature and mythology, the one-eyed giant known as the Cyclops is associated with a variety of deeds and histories. In Homer's The Odyssey, the Cyclopes were cannibals who lived an uncivilised life in Sicily, and in another story, Odysseus escapes from his death by blinding the Cyclops Polyphemus.In Hesiod, the cyclopes Arges, Brontes and Steropes were the three sons of Gaea and Uranus, and they created the Thunderbolts of Zeus. Later authors claimed that they were workmen of Hephaestus who were killed by Apollo for making the lightning bolt that hit his son Asclepius. The walls of ancient cities, such as those in Tiryns, were said to have been built by the Cyclopes. In modern archaeology, the term cyclopean is used to describe the construction of walls that are not square. In the fifth-century BC play by Euripides, a group of satyrs provides comic relief as Odysseus and Polyphemus encounter each other. Virgil also associates the Homeric and Hesiodic Cyclopes with the Aeolian Islands and Sicily.Read more at https://mythlok.com/cyclops/

Lisa and her guest Leslie Hopping have a spooky discussion about Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Leslie will be the co-host of a bookish podcast named Book Bumble that will launch soon.  There are spoilers of the book. Links to articles:The Guardian describes it as, “Lovecraft meets the Brontes in Latin America," and Vox calls it a deliciously creepy novel.  The Chicago Review of Books says character Noemi Taboada is not the “naïve damsel figure." The New York Public Library lists the history of the gothic genre and Book Riot offers gothic definitions. Moreno-Garcia has posted her eugenics thesis. In a CBS This Morning podcast Moreno-Garcia explains why she wrote a Gothic set in Mexico.  The History Channel explains eugenics and in an NPR piece, with Moreno-Garcia it is stated the evil of the book is colonialism. Books mentioned in the podcast: Jane Eyre by Charlotte BronteThe Complete Fiction of H.P. LovecraftWuthering Heights by Emily BronteRebecca by Daphne du MaurierGods of Jade and Shadow by Moreno-GarciaVelvet Was the Night by Moreno-Garcia At the end of each show, Lisa or her guest discuss books they've enjoyed in, “Everyone Hated It But Me.” Everyone Hated It But Me Books: The Invisible Husband of Frick Island by Colleen Oakley The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh The Children of Jacosta by Natalie Haynes Circe by Madeline Miller A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker Ariadne by Jennifer Saint   The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Vitoria Christopher Murray For more information, find Lisa on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and her website. *The book titles mentioned include affiliate links and the podcast receives a small commission.

Hello! Today I have a very special guest on - Rita Maria Martinez, author of the Jane Eyre inspired poetry collection, "The Jane and Bertha in Me". Rita joins me to discuss Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte, and the impact stories and words can have on us. I enjoyed talking with Rita - and I know you will enjoy hearing the episode. Jane Eyre is one of my favorite Victorian novels. Charlotte Bronte wrote it in 1847 - and yet it still resonates with audiences today. Find out how this classic book inspired Rita Martinez on her own journey, as we discuss Jane Eyre, The Brontes, and why they still matter today.

[00:00:00] Devin Davis: All I'm saying, guys is that if your one character is Glorfindel and your other character is Ratagast, there had better be a damn good reason why the woman's name is Brenda. Today on Writing in the Tiny House. Hello, hello, hello! And welcome to the show. Welcome to Writing in the Tiny House. I am your host Devin Davis, and I am the guy living in a tiny house who is here to show you that the fictional book that you have in your mind is a thing worth doing. And it's completely possible to do no matter how busy you claim to be. [00:01:02] So if you compare-- just some side stuff, cause we get to do announcements first. If you compare the sound quality of this episode versus the previous episodes, you might notice that it is different. The reason why is because I have new. [00:01:19] Sound equipment that I am still getting used to. So while I am figuring out how all of this works, we get to kind of work together and to be patient and kind and all the rest until I have all of this figured out. I'm excited for it. It also means there are a lot more chords on my counter, but it's okay. We're doing it. Over the past few episodes that have been just me, I have realized that there gets to be kind of a workshop or at least a lecture series. I mean, I don't want you to think that we are in school, and that we are here to study, because I am not. However, sometimes with specific ideas, I know that a lot of the people who listen to my podcast are fantasy fanatics, but a lot of the other people who listen to my podcast simply write general fiction. And I believe that some of the things that I'm going to be sharing in these like 101 episodes that I'm going to be putting together over the next few weeks, over the episodes where it's just me, I'm going to be putting together some guidelines and just some thoughts and feelings and just some general directions on where to go with specific things while you are developing the bones and the base of your novel. [00:02:51] And one of, as one of, one of the points to talk about, which we will be talking about today is names. When we go to write our book sometimes, especially if we are pantsing, if we have not outlined very in depth, sometimes characters seem to just pop up as a way to solve a problem or to create a problem if we need that. [00:03:17] But sometimes characters just pop up and we don't know who they are. We don't know their names. This happened to me a couple months ago when I got to rip my work in progress in half. And now I have two half finished books. I got to include a new main character as a way to make this new storyline or what used to be a subplot and is now a main plot, in order to make it work, I had to introduce a new main character or at least a new supporting character. And I didn't know who he was. I didn't know his name. I didn't know things about him. And so over the course of several days, I got to kind of imagine and think about him, about the culture that he might've come from. And granted, I'm writing fantasy. [00:04:12] And so the culture gets to be whatever I want it to be. However, it still gets to be something believable. I'm going to be doing a 101 episode on world building. And part of that is culture in the world that we are inventing. And we'll dive into how the culture ties into characters and how it ties into the overall feeling of towns and villages and family dynamics and different things like that. [00:04:41] But for the sake of this episode, let's get into the importance of names. And we're going to stick to contemporary fiction or urban fantasy first, and then go into high fantasy where we get Lord of the Rings names and we get dragon names like Ingeloacastimizillion if you are an RA Salvatore fan, and stuff like that. With names, this is my opinion, but I feel that it is a very good opinion. With names, they get to be something that is at least easy to figure out. Mind you, most of your readers are likely going to be American and they are going to be native English speakers. And so it is always helpful if you stick to American English pronunciation guidelines. And the tongue twisters and things can sometimes distract us from developing a relationship with the character. [00:05:45] I have found that in many of the fantasy stories that I have read, if the names are completely new and foreign and strange to me, I usually just forget them. Especially with audio books, if it doesn't strike a chord with me, I'm not going to keep it around in my mind. If I am reading a printed book or an ebook, if I can't figure out the pronunciation, I am the type of person who hates to pronounce a name wrong. [00:06:18] I hate that more than anything else. More than a lot of things. And so quite frankly, when I was in high school and Harry Potter was becoming more and more famous and picking up steam, I did not know how to pronounce Hermione's name. And it seemed that nobody in my hometown actually did. And so I would go around asking people for guidance with this. Like, what do you think it's supposed to be? So many people thought that her name was actually "Hermy-un". Her her, her Meehan Hermie own various different, weird things like that. And so I think that is why J K Rowling chose to include in the body of her story some pronunciation parts with Hermione's name, just because I think she realized that many of her readers had no idea how to pronounce her name. [00:07:19] If you remember, there were some exchanges between Hermione and another student from a different school. I forget which book this is in, but this guy was not a native English speaker and he wasn't pronouncing her name right. And so she got to help him out by pronouncing her own name and spelling out the words as sounds in the text of the story. [00:07:43] By having her do that, JK Rowling gave us a tool to realize how the flip we're supposed to be pronouncingHermione and how it is not in fact Hermiun. So it's useful to include basic spelling rules, basic pronunciation rules, and tailor them to your target audience. Be mindful that it is likely American English speakers who will be reading your book and it's okay to help them out. [00:08:13] It's okay to throw them a bone when it comes to developing names. For instance, a good example of this, I was going to include some names in my book and I was going to spell them. So I, I don't like to make up too many names. My names tend to be traditional names. If they belong to one family, then I'm going to go like traditional Roman, or if they belong to another family, then I'll usually pick kind of a different origin for those types of names and try to keep things cohesive and sounding like they belong. But I don't like to make up too many names just because my setting is Victorian. And so I like to have more familiar sounding names. Victorian and we go into Edwardian. And so I like things to be more predictable like that and more familiar. [00:09:09] But I personally have a love for the traditional spelling of some of the Celtic names like Shivonne and Alva, and some other things like that. There is a character in my book named Alva, but I chose to spell her name A L V A just because American readers are the people who are going to be reading my book. If I were to spell it A I L B H E nobody would know what that is. They would think it would be Ail-buh-huh or Ailby or some unpronounceable problem. I also love the name. Siobhan. Siobhan is traditionally spelled, if you go with the Gaelic spelling, it is traditionally spelled S I O B H A N. I have an old friend named Siobhan who lives in Southern France. [00:10:11] And it was the first time I had seen her name and I wasn't familiar with Gaelic pronunciation when I first met her. Just the rules for it are different, but I don't expect people to know the rules for Gaelic pronunciations. I don't expect people to know that S I in Gaelic spellings is pronounced Shh, or B H is pronounced with a V sound. I don't expect people to know that. And so if I choose to include the name, I do my best to Americanize it just so people don't have to worry too much about what it's going to be. Or they don't have to worry too much about pronouncing the name wrong. If it's pretty easy to figure out, even if it is a little bit different, I've found it's easier to connect to a character if I can say their name. If you think differently, please go ahead and send me a message on Instagram and we can have a discussion, but that is certainly a guideline that I would choose. Also, if you are writing urban fantasy, or if you are writing contemporary fiction, we can move away from fantasy for a little second. [00:11:38] A good idea-- and I picked this tidbit from the author Alexa Donne. She is a YA thriller author. And she has some brilliant advice on her Booktube channel on YouTube. She brought a thing to my attention that I wouldn't have thought of before, or I wouldn't have put together the logic of it before. [00:12:03] If your character is 21 years old, living in a modern time, living in, you know, New York or wherever they are, it means that their name was likely popular when they were born. If you choose to consult like a baby name book, and you choose to look through a baby name book for today, for 2021, those names are for today. Those names are for 2021. If your character is 21 years old, it means that they were born in the year 2000. And the baby book names would likely be sorted differently and chosen differently. If your character is 37, they would have been born in the mid eighties and it is entirely possible that they could have a different name than if they were born in the year 2000 or if they were born in the year 2021. In modern days, I have noticed that there is a resurgence right now of some names that were popular and common when my grandmother was a little girl, which is awesome. But that's how the trends are right now. And so it's important to pay attention to that. [00:13:32] Also with the names, with the things, sometimes it is also very valuable to think about who this character's parents might've been. It's okay if the parents aren't in the book and it's okay if you don't focus a ton on developing like a character profile for the parents and like giving the dad a job and an address and those different things. But if you picture this kid being straight laced and a rule follower, and always telling the truth, it's possible that character's parents might've been strict or conservative or whatever. And the reason why is because if the parents were more traditional, they would likely name them a more traditional name. [00:14:26] If the kid was born in the eighties and their parents were more traditional, this kid might have the name of Brittany. If the kid was born in the seventies and the parents were hippies, it might be like Rainbow Star or something. Knowing how the parents would have approached that can be valuable as to how you would name them. [00:14:47] If the parents are conservative and you want to name the kid like Spike or Blade or something, there should be a very good reason for that. It's just because conservative parents, aren't very likely going to name their kid Blade or Spike or things like that.  [00:15:09] Moving over to high fantasy, I personally like to mimic regions of our world to include in my book, just because of the familiarity of it. I like names to resemble each other. I like family names to resemble each other or a certain culture to kind of have all of the common sounds of names. So the one island village that I have, to me, the culture itself represents to an extent some Japanese village fishermen culture. And so I chose to have all of the names be traditional Japanese. For a family that lives on the mainland on the main continent way further north, for the main family of my series, I have chosen those to be more traditional Roman or traditional Greek. And so we have names like Demetrius and Brontes and different things like that. [00:16:14] When we're doing that, it is okay to have your names be as off the wall as you want. I mean, heaven knows Lord of the Rings, J R R Tolkien invented like new languages and stuff for the world that he was creating. And the names certainly add to the immersion of that world. Having names, having them all sound the same, having them all be like the Elvish names are absolutely beautiful to me. [00:16:44] They're very sing song. They're just lovely. They roll off the tongue if you know how to pronounce them. And that's fine. Tolkien is a little bit different. Odds are you are not Tolkien not because of your capacity to write, but because you were not born at the same time that Tolkien was born. You are writing to a modern audience, and a modern audience has different expectations than the audience that Tolkien was writing for back in the day. [00:17:19] And so things get to be a little bit different just because different people are going to be reading your book. And so if you wish to, it is okay to have some different things resemble things in this real world, just so it can be a bit more approachable and more digestible to your reader, just because remember your reader does not live in your world. It's okay to help them out. And it's okay to have an amount of familiarity with whatever sometimes. If absolutely everything in your manuscript is brand new and requires a ton of explanation because there's nothing in it that is just inherently knowable or inherently understood because it's not common in this real world, then odds are your manuscript will be filled with a lot of info dump. It would be filled with a lot of exposition and it will be really heavy to get through and really hard to kind of wade through. It'd be like wading through like heavy sticky mud.  [00:18:36] So that's it for today. That is this character development 101 episode on characters and names. A quick shout out to my patrons.

Episode 46: Norman's Night In: The Cave (Part Deux) https://www.buzzsprout.com/143519/1247648 Nick and Marcus are joined by Nick Iorfino from Bactrian Games, the creators Norman's Night In: The Cave! Mr. Iorfino talks about what it's like to develop WCN's favorite game from Pax East, and the hosts also breakdown SWTOR's changes in game update 5.10.3 Spoils of War. WoW See Game Notes SWTOR The new hotness in SWTOR this month is The Pirate Incursion event on the new planet of Dantooine. That, together with double xp week, has been a prime time for leveling, rep grinding, and grinding just about any other rank or number you'd like to raise. The heroic quests were challenging enough to require groups, so guild groups and community pugs abounded. There are a number of achievements associated with stuff on Dantooine as well. The planet will be available for exploration and possibly even resource gathering after the event is over, but we don't know exactly what that will look like until next week. Some of those achievements may be doable then, or may require the event to be in progress. We shall see! After this week, the pirate event will go in rotation with all the existing events. In guild news, the June MEGA was a pvp night hosted by Marcus and coached by guildie Medullah. Medullah explained the pvp maps and gave insights into what to look for, when to use abilities, and lots of other good info. We used SWTOR's feature that allows us to have our own instance of a warzone to duke it out between two teams of guildies. We even had a small cheering section. We closed the night with a tour of guildie Liberty's Stronghold which was really incredible to see. Marcus wants to make Stronghold viewing a staple of MEGA, so if you'd like your Stronghold to be featured, just let him know. MFN continues on Tuesday nights, starting at 9PM Eastern. This week we ran around on Dantooine and did some grouping up for the heroics. In ops news after 6 months of working on Dread Fortress Hard Mode Deathstar Troopers we finally killed Brontes. Also, SUP has cleared five ops and counting, and apparently they're having more fun than MarcusB.
