Flavius Claudius Julianus turned the world upside down. Also known as Julian the Apostate as well as Julian the Philosopher, he ruled Rome as sole emperor for just a year and a half, from 361 to 363. Nonetheless, his impact was substantial. Despite the fact that he was the nephew of Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor of Rome, Julian fought to return Rome to the old gods who had led his ancestors to build their vast empire. As emperor, Julian set about reforming the administration, conquering new territories, and reviving ancient religions. He was scorned in his time for repudiating Christianity and demonized as an apostate for willfully rejecting Christ. Through the centuries, Julian has been viewed by many as a tragic figure who sought to save Rome from its enemies... as well as a traitor to God and violent oppressor of Christians.But who was he... really? And how did his short time as ruler impact Western history? Featuring Philip Freeman, Professor of Humanities at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. He earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University in Classical Philology and Celtic Languages and Literatures. He is the author of numerous books, including, “Alexander the Great”, “How to Tell a Story”, “How to Grow Old”, “Julius Caesar” and most recently, “Julian: Rome's Last Pagan Emperor”. You can purchase Philip's book here: https://www.amazon.com/Julian-Romes-Pagan-Emperor-Ancient/dp/0300256647This event is brought to you by Classical Wisdom, a site dedicated to bringing ancient wisdom to modern minds.

Philip Freeman is a Professor of Humanities at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. With a Ph.D. from Harvard University in Classical Philology and Celtic Languages & Literatures, he has authored over a dozen New York Times reviewed books on ancient & medieval studies. For this episode we stick to the Celtic world, starting at ancient Gaul [Celtic western Europe 2,000+ years-ago]: farming, warriors, head trophies, druids, sacred oak groves, human sacrifice, belief in reincarnation & what little is known about the old gods. From there we travel to Ireland & Wales, where Celtic language & mythology survived the passage of conquests & time. Freeman describes a lewd horse sacrifice coronation ritual, curse tablets found in a lake, & the medieval gods known as the Tuatha Dé Danann & their mysterious Otherworld. Finally we come to the present with Freeman's visit to the spring of St. Brigid, followed by what connects his love of mythology with his Catholic faith. To end this epic episode, Freeman recounts the first Halloween [aka Samhain] story, The Adventure of Nera. Freeman's Books Referenced in the Podcast:Celtic Mythology: Tales of Gods, Goddesses, & Heroes Celtic Spirituality: An Introduction to the Sacred Wisdom of the CeltsOh My Gods: A Modern Retelling of Greek & Roman Myths For more of Freeman's work visit: philipfreemanbooks.comMusic provided by Ancient Music Ireland"Introduction"Written by Ancient Music IrelandPerformed by Ancient Music Ireland"The Butterfly"Written by Ancient Music IrelandPerformed by Ancient Music Ireland"Lilting Horns"Written by Ancient Music IrelandPerformed by Ancient Music IrelandSupport Our Numinous Nature on Patreon.Follow Our Numinous Nature & my naturalist illustrations on InstagramCheck out my shop of shirts, prints, and books featuring my artContact: herbaceoushuman@gmail.com

Monday, 15 November 2021, 7 – 8pm Freemen out with the Tribe: Exiles for Christ from Saints Patrick to Kilian Online Lecture by Dr Alexander O'Hara, Department of Celtic Languages & Literatures, Harvard University in association with the Trinity Long Room Hub. The event will be chaired by Dr Ciaran O'Neill, Deputy Director of the Trinity Long Room Hub. This year marks the 15th centenary of the birth of Saint Columcille/ Columba of Iona, born in 521 in Co. Donegal into the royal Uí Néill dynasty. In 563 he left northern Ireland for northern Britain where he established a monastery on the island of Iona in the Hebrides where he died in 597. Columba and his monks from Iona played a key role in the Christianisation of what would become Scotland and northern England. Columba was considered to be a peregrinus pro Christo, 'an exile for Christ' who left his homeland for the uncertainty of life in a foreign country following the biblical precedent of Abraham. This lecture frames Columcille within the development of this concept of exile from the time of Saint Patrick to the eighth century and how this played an important role in the development of Irish ethnic identity in the seventh century. About the speaker Dr Alexander O'Hara is a Research Fellow in the Loyola Institute, Trinity College Dublin. He is a historian of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages specialising in monastic history and theology, the medieval cult of the saints and medieval Latin literary culture. He is the author of Jonas of Bobbio and the Legacy of Columbanus: Sanctity and Community in the Seventh Century (Oxford University Press, 2018), editor of Columbanus and the Peoples of Post­-Roman Europe (Oxford University Press, 2018), and translator of Jonas of Bobbio: Life of Columbanus, Life of John, and Life of Vedast (Liverpool University Press, 2017). He is co-editor of St Sunniva: Irish Queen, Norwegian Patron Saint (Bergen, 2021), a collected volume on the medieval cult of the Irish saint Sunniva, patron of Bergen and Western Norway. He is a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Scholar in the Department of Celtic Languages and Literatures, Harvard University for 2021-'22.

After reading How Dead Languages Work (Oxford University Press 2020), Coulter George hopes you might decide to learn a bit of ancient Greek or Sanskrit, or maybe dabble in a bit of Old Germanic. But even if readers of his book aren't converted into polyglots, they will walk away with an introduction to the (in)famous Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which is responsible for the inaccurate meme claiming that Inuits understand snow more deeply than other cultures because their language has one hundred (one thousand?) words for it. George criticizes this hypothesis, but through his six chapters, uses examples of ancient languages to argue that a subtler form of that hypothesis is apt: languages aren't fungible, and the properties of different languages are interwoven with their literary traditions. The book takes readers through Greek, Latin, Old English and the Germanic Languages, Sanskrit, Old Irish and the Celtic Languages, and Hebrew, introducing their phonology, morphology, lexicons, grammar, and excerpting passages from texts such as the Illiad, Beowulf, and the Rig Veda, to illustrate how the flavor of a language is always lost a little in translation. Malcolm Keating is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Yale-NUS College. His research focuses on Indian philosophy of language and epistemology in Sanskrit. He is the author of Language, Meaning, and Use in Indian Philosophy (Bloomsbury Press, 2019) and host of the podcast Sutras (and stuff). Learn more about your ad choices.

Location: Academy House Date: Wednesday 9 March, 2016 Speaker: Chantal Kobel obtained her B.A. in Old and Modern Irish in TCD and went on to achieve a Masters in Archives and Records Management in UCD. She recently completed her PhD in Early Irish at Trinity College Dublin.

Professor Rob Dunbar, Chair of Celtic Languages, Literature, History and Antiquities, presents his inaugural lecture entitled "Canada, the Gaelic Imagination, and the Future of the Celtic Languages / Canada, am Mac-meanmna Gàidhlig, agus na Cànanan Ceilteach san Àm ri Teachd".Territories that are now part of Canada received more Gaelic-speaking emigrants than any other in the world and, unsurprisingly, the links between the Scottish Highlands and Canada are profound. This lecture will first examine how Canada, and in particular Canada's Gaelic heritage, is perceived, imagined and deployed by Scottish Gaels—and other Scots—revealing a curious mix of truths, half-truths and missed opportunities.This lecture is in Gaelic.Recorded on 18 November 2013 at the University of Edinburgh's St Cecilia's Hall.Chaidh barrachd Ghàidheal chun nan sgìrean a tha a-nis mar phàirt de Canada na gu sgìrean sam bith eile air an t-saoghal agus air sàilibh sin, chan eil e na iongnadh gu bheil na ceanglaichean eadar Gàidhealtachd na h-Alba agus Canada làidir.
