“In silent screams and wildest dreams, I never dreamed of this. This love is good. This love is bad. This love is alive back from the dead.” This week we're setting sail on one of history's greatest epics, Homer's The Odyssey, and asking a very important question... did Taylor Swift write it? (We're mostly joking. Mostly.) In this Show & Tell episode, we each make the case for a Taylor Swift song that illuminates a different facet of the Odyssey, from Penelope's 20-year vigil to Odysseus weeping on a gorgeous island, to the sirens, the wine-dark sea, and a very significant scar. Along the way, the hosts dig into questions of translation and interpretation — particularly the significance of Emily Wilson's landmark female translation of the text — discuss the role of Athena in the story of the epic, and geek out about the archery contest that shows up in both the Odyssey and two Indian epics. Plus: the upcoming Christopher Nolan adaptation, the musical Epic by Jorge Rivera, Madeline Miller's Circe, and why All Too Well (10 Minute Version) might just be Taylor's own Odyssey.   Subscribe for free to get episode updates or upgrade to paid to get our After School premium content: aptaylorswift.substack.com/subscribe.

This is one of the slower Saturday episodes—no announcements, no news. Just a piece of the book I'm writing, read and thought through out loud.It starts on Circe's island, where Odysseus's men have already been turned into pigs. It passes through Dante's hell, where the greedy push boulders forever, and through Midas's palace, where a father reaches for his daughter and finds cold metal. And it ends somewhere closer to home: the quiet withdrawal, the measured non-engagement, the parts of ourselves we've decided are too valuable or too vulnerable to share.Because here's the thing about Avarice: in its deepest expression, it was never about gold. It's a misdirected search for transcendence. We're not hoarding money, we're hoarding self. Time, warmth, attention, the willingness to be known. And the endpoint of all that protecting isn't wealth. It's isolation.Two questions sit at the center of this one:What are you unwilling to give? And what is that withholding costing the people who need you?If the episode does something to you, here's the assignment, which is also the argument: share it with one person you've been quietly withholding from.—ChadP.S. — Monday's episode is different. I have an announcement about the press, about what we're building, and about how you can be part of it. It's the most excited I've been about anything in a while. Come back Monday. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit chadprevost.substack.com

This week Zach and Mike cover "The Lady and the Lion" . A Silver Age Superman story in which the Man of Steel gets roofied by an alien sorceress named Circe who drugged his mineral water because he politely declined her marriage proposal. The serum turns him into a lion by dawn because, as Circe helpfully explains, Superman most resembles a lion by nature. Nobody questions this logic.What follows is Superman, now a fully lion-headed man in a cape, trying to continue living his life. He takes Lois Lane to the theater. He performs for orphan children by letting them stick their heads in his mouth. He flies to Africa, breaks up a lion bully situation, and accidentally gets elected King of the Lions. He does all of this with a rope for a tail. He is very sad about it.Also: Lois Lane kisses a lion. It doesn't work. Perry White sits on the scoop of the century because he's actually a decent guy. And Circe, who committed multiple crimes and fled the planet, faces zero consequences because Superman figured out the antidote on his own using Kryptonian library records. Circe is still out there.#superman #dccomics #silverage #actioncomics #brosfoesandheroes #superhero #comics #loislane #comicbooks #dc Thank you to our sponsors!

Hoy en La diez Capital Radio nos acompaña Ricardo Fernández de la Puente, director de Relaciones Institucionales de Loro Parque, que nos hablará sobre la gala benéfica de Loro Parque Fundación que tuvo lugar la semana pasada en Poema del Mar, en beneficio del proyecto Sofía Net. La recaudación de la velada impulsará el proyecto 'SOFIANet', una alianza estratégica entre Loro Parque Fundación, la Fundación Reina Sofía, CIRCE y la universidad de La Laguna para proteger a los cetáceos del Estrecho de Gibraltar mediante monitorización acústica. El acuario Poema del Mar se convirtió esta noche en el epicentro de la conservación marina con motivo de la cena benéfica del Día Mundial de los Océanos. El evento, que reunió a más de 400 personas entre autoridades, representantes del sector empresarial y destacados miembros de la comunidad científica, se ha consolidado como una de las citas sociales e institucionales más relevantes de Canarias. La gala, organizada por Loro Parque Fundación, contó con la actuación del cuarteto de músicos de Bach IBF Canarias, que puso la banda sonora a una noche dedicada a la protección de los océanos. La recaudación obtenida se destinará íntegramente al desarrollo de SOFIANet (Sensing Ocean Frequencies through Integrated Acoustic Networks), un proyecto pionero para monitorizar de forma continua la presencia de cetáceos en el Estrecho de Gibraltar. Esta iniciativa une el conocimiento científico de Loro Parque Fundación, la Fundación Reina Sofía, CIRCE y la universidad de La Laguna para reducir amenazas críticas como las colisiones con embarcaciones y la contaminación acústica. Este nuevo impulso a la ciencia se suma a la sólida trayectoria de Loro Parque Fundación, que inició sus proyectos marinos en el año 2004 con un firme compromiso en actividades educativas relacionadas con el medio ambiente. Entre sus hitos históricos destaca el apoyo técnico y financiero brindado en 2006 a un proyecto pionero para la obtención de varios kits de diagnóstico, diseñados para determinar la presencia de anticuerpos específicos de diferentes patógenos en el suero sanguíneo de las orcas. Hasta la fecha, la Fundación ha desarrollado un total de 83 proyectos marinos, con una inversión específica que alcanza los 6.990.845 dólares. Durante el acto, Christoph Kiessling, presidente de Loro Parque Fundación, destacó el valor de la ciencia que nace en el archipiélago: "Esta noche no solo celebramos la belleza del mar en Poema del Mar, sino que impulsamos proyectos de vanguardia que, como SOFIANet, demuestran que Canarias es un referente internacional en la defensa de la biodiversidad". Por su parte, el Dr. Javier Almunia, coordinador de SOFIANet, explicó la trascendencia tecnológica del proyecto: "SOFIANet nos permite escuchar el océano para entenderlo y protegerlo. Mediante una red híbrida de hidrófonos y boyas inteligentes, seremos capaces de detectar orcas, cachalotes y otros cetáceos en apenas minutos, generando datos esenciales para la gestión marina". La excelencia de esta velada ha sido posible gracias a la colaboración desinteresada y altruista de un destacado grupo de empresas que han reafirmado su compromiso con la sostenibilidad y el medio ambiente. Entre las entidades colaboradoras se encuentran Vintia, Audiovisuales Canarias, Activa Canarias, Comesa, Emicela, Danafresh, Egatesa, Orthidal, Europastry, Makro, Ahembo, CCC, Firgas, Perelada-Chivite y Gráficas Guiniguada. Con esta iniciativa, Loro Parque Fundación, que de forma global ha invertido más de 30 millones de dólares en más de 300 proyectos de conservación en todo el mundo, salvando 18 especies de animales de la extinción, sigue liderando acciones directas para garantizar que las especies más amenazadas tengan un futuro en nuestros océanos.

The second film in the Hathaway's Flash movie trilogy, MSG: Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, hit US theaters on May 14, 2026, and we were there to bask in all its silver screen glory.  We discuss the film at length, including Hathaway's dismantling of Lane (again); Alyzeus as Bandai's War Machine; whether Lane is a cyber newtype or just a drunk E.T.; Anaheim's implied policy on beam saber colors; weighing the evidence if Brinks' cat is a newtype; and predict whether Bandai / Sunrise will pull the ultimate punch, among others.  Plus, Isaac dons his Bask goggles to justify Kimberley's squishing incident and discovers that he is somewhere between Degwin and Bask.  Double plus, the Colony Drop crew enjoys a post-film dinner at the most thematically appropriate place: Outback Steakhouse! Let's go for part three, Bandai!

Hoy en La diez Capital Radio Miguel Ángel González Suárez entrevistara a Christoph Kiessling, presidente de Loro Parque Fundación y vicepresidente de Loro Parque, que hablará sobre el Encuentro por la Biodiversidad que celebró el días pasados en Madrid y sobre las orcas de Marineland. Loro Parque Fundación reúne en Madrid a referentes mundiales de la conservación y presenta SofiaNet, una red acústica pionera para proteger a los cetáceos del Estrecho. El encuentro, celebrado en el Espacio Almagro ante más de 150 representantes del ámbito científico, institucional y conservacionista, reforzó la alianza con la UICN SSC y mostró proyectos con impacto real: de la recuperación de especies amenazadas a la reducción de interacciones entre orcas y embarcaciones. Coincidiendo con la celebración del Día Internacional de la Diversidad Biológica, el acto contó con la asistencia de Wolfgang Kiessling, presidente de Loro Parque, y de Vivek Menon, presidente de la Comisión para la Supervivencia de Especies de la UICN. En una jornada marcada por el liderazgo científico, Loro Parque Fundación celebró este pasado jueves en el Espacio Almagro de Madrid, el Encuentro por la Biodiversidad, ante más de 150 personalidades del ámbito académico, político y conservacionista. El encuentro ha coincidido con la presentación de la Lista Roja Nacional de España en el Congreso de los Diputados con motivo del Día Internacional de la Diversidad Biológica, acto en el que ha participado Ángel Curros, director biológico del acuario Poema del Mar, para exponer los avances en la protección de especies críticamente amenazadas como el angelote y la mantelina; y del doctor Javier Almunia, que presentó el proyecto CanBIO. Durante su intervención, el presidente de Loro Parque, Wolfgang Kiessling, reiteró la plena disposición del Grupo para colaborar en el rescate de las orcas Wikie y Keijo, actualmente en el parque Marineland (Francia). Kiessling subrayó que esta operación no responde a intereses comerciales "no ganamos un euro más por tener seis orcas en lugar de cuatro" sino a una responsabilidad moral, técnica y profesional para evitar que los animales mueran sin una alternativa real. El presidente de Loro Parque fue tajante al señalar que la institución solo procederá al traslado si cuenta con el expreso visto bueno del Gobierno de España y se garantiza la seguridad jurídica y técnica del proceso. "Nuestra voluntad es salvar la vida de estos animales y rescatarlos de un destino fatal", afirmó, invitando al ejecutivo español a reconocer formalmente la idoneidad de las instalaciones de Tenerife, referentes mundiales en bienestar animal. Una operación que asumiría como un "acto humano" frente a la inexistencia de santuarios marinos, como confirmó la semana pasada en ministro delegado de Transición Ecológica de Francia, Mathieu Lefevre. Por su parte, Vivek Menon, presidente de la Comisión para la Supervivencia de Especies de la UICN, destacó la importancia de centrar los esfuerzos en la defensa individual de cada especie. Menon puso como ejemplo de éxito la colaboración con Loro Parque Fundación en la recuperación del Guacamayo de Lear en Brasil, que ha pasado de estar al borde de la desaparición a contar con más de 2.200 ejemplares en la naturaleza. "La naturaleza es muy resiliente y agradecida; si haces algo por ella, te lo devolverá", afirmó, ofreciendo el apoyo de los 15.000 investigadores que integran su comisión para seguir colaborando con la Fundación. El presidente de Loro Parque Fundación, Christoph Kiessling, presentó como gran hito de la noche el Proyecto SofiaNet. Esta iniciativa busca desarrollar un sistema avanzado de monitorización acústica continua y automatizada para conocer la presencia de cetáceos en el Estrecho de Gibraltar. Exportando la tecnología desarrollada en Canarias a través del proyecto CanBIO, SofiaNet permitirá generar datos de alta calidad para entender mejor las amenazas derivadas del ruido de origen humano y mejorar la gestión de este espacio marino crítico. Un proyecto que cuenta con la colaboración de la Fundación Reina Sofía, la Universidad de La Laguna y CIRCE. La jornada sirvió también para desgranar otros proyectos clave que sitúan a la Fundación a la vanguardia. El Dr. Antonio Fernández (ULPGC) presentó su nuevo libro “Células del Delfín”, una obra única que utiliza la microscopía electrónica para el diagnóstico patológico, permitiendo "hablar con la muerte para ayudar a la vida". Por su parte, el Dr. Renaud de Stephanis (CIRCE) detalló cómo 22 años de estudios han permitido reducir en un 80% las interacciones con veleros gracias a recomendaciones basadas en ciencia, como navegar en aguas someras y no detener la embarcación. El Dr. Javier Almunia expuso el proyecto cambio, que estudia la acidificación oceánica, el ruido submarino y el impacto del cambio climático en la biodiversidad terrestre y marina, siendo referente a nivel mundial y que cuenta con a financiación de Loro Parque Fundación y el Gobierno de Canarias, en colaboración con la Universidad de La Laguna y la Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Con este encuentro, Loro Parque Fundación reafirma su papel como motor de la conservación global, habiendo salvado ya a 18 especies de la extinción gracias a una inversión acumulada de 30 millones de dólares.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick and the Dr. Gregory McBrayer discuss Books 9-10 of the Odyssey--the first half of Odysseus telling his own story and covering such famous narratives as the lotus eaters, the cyclops, and Circe. Check out our WRITTEN GUIDE to the Odyssey--great for small groups!Follow us on X, YouTube, Instagram, and more!SummaryBooks 9 and 10 of the Odyssey feature Odysseus revealing his identity to the Phaeacians and recounting his adventures after Troy. The episodes include the raid on Ismarus, the encounter with the Lotus Eaters (whom Odysseus forcibly removes to prevent them from forgetting home), the harrowing trap in Polyphemus the Cyclops's cave (where Odysseus uses the "Nobody" ruse, wine, and an olive-wood stake to blind the giant before taunting him and invoking Poseidon's curse), the visit to Aeolus (whose bag of winds is opened by the crew, blowing them off course), the cannibalistic Laestrygonians (who destroy the fleet except Odysseus's ship), and the stay with the goddess Circe (who transforms his men into pigs, but is countered by Hermes' moly herb, leading to a year of feasting and Odysseus bedding her under divine instruction before she directs him to the underworld).The hosts explore deeper philosophical and moral themes, viewing these stories as Odysseus's moral and theoretical education. They discuss xenia (guest-friendship) and its perversions, the tension between Odysseus's cunning intellect and his men's appetites or spiritedness, leadership failures, and Homer's intentional dialectic presenting human nature. Particular attention is given to Odysseus's curiosity, pride, and evolving understanding of place, home, mortality, and nature (highlighted in the moly scene as a discovery of physis). The conversation frames Circe as a structural pivot, contrasting earlier moral tales with later intellectual ones, and portrays Odysseus as a complex, self-serving yet learning figure whose narrative may blend truth and rhetoric tailored to his audience.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ascend and the Great Books07:42 Professional Updates and New Opportunities09:37 Teaching Homer: Insights and Anecdotes10:58 Homer as a Philosopher: Dialectics in the Text14:08 Odysseus: The Complicated Hero15:47 Odysseus' Journey: Learning and Growth17:54 The Role of Storytelling in the Odyssey23:05 The Importance of Place and Homecoming28:08 Odysseus and His Men: Leadership Dynamics35:47 The Lotus Eaters: Virtue and Temptation40:31 The Nature of Happiness and the Soul's Journey44:04 Odysseus and the Cyclops: A Political Critique54:20 Guest Friendship and Ethical Dilemmas01:05:01 Rhetoric and the Limits of Persuasion01:09:21 Understanding Polyphemus: The Nature of Deception01:11:20 Odysseus's Internal Monologue: The Role of Wisdom01:12:46 The Cyclops's Overconfidence: A Fatal Flaw01:13:49 The Role of Wine: A Tool for Manipulation01:14:58 Guest Friendship: A Perverse Parody01:16:36 The Blinding of Polyphemus: A Turning Point01:17:47 Community Response: The Cyclops's Isolation01:18:41 The Consequences of Pride: Odysseus Reveals His Name01:20:51 The Significance of 'Nobody': Identity and Cunning01:23:24 The Escape Plan: Cleverness in Adversity01:24:05 The Curse of Polyphemus: A Divine Retribution01:26:42 The Cycle of Violence: Guest Friendship Violated01:27:34 The Structure of the Odyssey: Peaks and Valleys01:29:09 The Role of Agency: Human Choices vs. Divine Will01:29:38 The Heartbreak of Aeolus: Trust Broken01:33:56 The Lystra-agonian Encounter: A Leadership Crisis01:36:31 Odysseus's Leadership and Responsibility01:39:50 The Enigmatic Circe: Goddess and Witch01:45:13 Odysseus's Encounter with Circe: A Test of Will01:50:59 The Nature of Eros and Odysseus's Choices01:56:56 The Philosophical Journey: Nature and Mortality02:01:51 The Path to the Underworld: Elpenor's FateKeywordsKey keywords for this episode include Odyssey Book 9, Odyssey Book 10, Odysseus Cyclops, Polyphemus, Circe Odyssey, Homer Odyssey summary, Odysseus adventures, Lotus Eaters, Aeolus bag of winds, Laestrygonians, Odysseus and Circe, Nobody Odysseus, Xenia guest friendship, Homer philosophy, Odysseus leadership, Odysseus moral education, Summary of Odyssey Books 9 and 10, Odysseus vs Polyphemus, Circe turns men into pigs, Philosophical themes in The Odyssey, Homer Odyssey Cyclops episode, Odysseus journey home, Guest friendship in The Odyssey, Ascend Great Books Podcast, Harrison Garlick Odyssey, and Gregory McBrayer Homer.

#GundamHathaway #HathawayFlash #MobileSuitGundam #SorceryofNymphCirce #CharsCounterattack  The Gundam Hathaway movies lowkey ask alot of the audience in terms of understanding its story. By itself, this second movie presumes you not only watched the first film but you also have an understanding of the UC stories particularly the film, Char's Counterattack, which heavily factors into the continuing story of Hathaway Noa. Overall, Sorcery of Nymph Circe is a solid 2nd entry leading into the 3rd act of Hathaway Noa and his mission to take down the Earth Federation. Solid visuals and even the music choices do a great job of immersing you into the story of Hathaway, Kenneth, & GiGi's character progression.

The second installment of the Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway film trilogy is finally here, and it was absolutely worth the five-year wait. The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, based on the second novel of Tomino Yoshiyuki's Hathaway's Flash light novel series, is a more complicated, dense, and challenging film than its predecessor, but also one that dives deeper into its characters fractured psyches. And along the way, it presents some of the boldest and most immersive 3D mecha animation we've ever seen, building to a climax that is absolutely staggering in both aesthetic and emotional impact. We also discuss several pieces of recent Gundam news, including new projects announced for the worlds of Gundam Wing and Gundam SEED.  Enjoy, and if you haven't already been listening to Japanimation Station this season, be sure to check-in for our Tomino-thon, where we're surveying all the works in the career of original Gundam creator Tomino Yoshiyuki!   Time Chart: Theme Song: 0:00:00 – 0:00:59 Intro & Initial Reactions: 0:00:59 – 0:09:20 Gundam News: 0:09:20 – 0:35:21 Film Background Info: 0:35:21 – 1:20:22 Eyecatch Break: 1:20:22 – 1:21:10 Circe Review: 1:21:10 – 2:48:15 End Theme: 2:48:15 – 2:49:17 Read Jonathan Lack's movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.com Subscribe to PURELY ACADEMIC, our monthly variety podcast about movies, video games, TV, and more: https://purelyacademic.simplecast.com Read Jonathan's book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vK Subscribe to our YouTube channels!  Japanimation Station: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation   Purely Academic: https://www.youtube.com/@purelyacademicpodcast Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff Original Music by Thomas Lack https://www.thomaslack.com/

Gundam is back in theaters, and so are we! The long-awaited sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway is here after five years. The Sorcery of Nymph Circe has no less the emphasis on tense conversations and politics than its predecessor, but how does it this time? I will say "not quite the same," but I'm gonna make you listen to the show if you want to hear if that's a good or bad thing.

Abrimos con la reseña pormenorizada de un libro de la arqueóloga Elizabeth Wayland Barber, escrito hace varias décadas pero traducido al castellano y recientemente publicado por Capitán Swing: Los trabajos de las mujeres: Mujeres, telas y sociedad en la antigüedad. Es una investigación interdisciplinaria que recorre 20.000 años de historia para reivindicar el papel central, y a menudo invisibilizado, de las mujeres en el desarrollo de la civilización a través de la industria textil. De la mano experta de Mariajo Noain, veremos cómo la autora demuestra cómo el hilado y el tejido no eran actividades frívolas, sino una poderosa fuerza económica y tecnológica que constituyó la base de las primeras sociedades humanas. La segunda propuesta nos devuelve a la lectura de la Odisea por parte de nuestra alma mater, Bikendi Goiko-uria. Tercer capítulo en el que conoceremos como Odiseo y los suyos, tras vagar meses por los mares, llegan a la isla de la diosa Circe. Esta, les guiará y aconsejará sobre cómo llegar al mismísimo Hades. En la repetición, recuperamos el primero de una saga de siete capítulos que nos harán recordar que ni Roma se construyó en un día, ni desapareció en el año 476 cuando el emperador Rómulo Augústulo fue depuesto. Aunque a veces se nos olvida, el imperio oriental o bizantino, perduró otros mil años y dejó para la historia grandes nombres. Como el del magister militum del que hablaremos hoy: Flavio Belisario. Además, no solo será el protagonista de esta y las siguientes entregas repetidas de Por los Dioses, con Sergio Alejo.

fWotD Episode 3294: Golden Bough (Aeneid) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 12 May 2026, is Golden Bough (Aeneid).The Golden Bough is a fantastical object described in the Aeneid, an epic poem by the Roman poet Virgil composed between 29 and 19 BCE narrating the adventures of the Trojan hero Aeneas after the Trojan War. The episode of the Golden Bough is found in its sixth book and is part of Aeneas's journey into the Underworld. The bough itself acts as proof of Aeneas's divine favour, and allows him to pass into the Underworld. He is tasked to find it in an expansive forest, which he accomplishes with the aid of his mother, the goddess Venus, and to remove it from its host tree. Although Aeneas has been told that it would come easily, if his journey is ordained by fate, Virgil describes the bough as briefly hesitating before he takes it.Virgil's portrayal of the bough has no direct literary antecedents, though it draws on several precedents from literature, folklore and philosophy. Scholars have connected it with, among others, the Golden Fleece in the story of the Argonauts; symbolic objects associated with deities such as Hermes, Dionysus and Circe; and the branches carried by prospective initiates into the Eleusinian Mysteries, a Greek religious rite centred on a symbolic journey into the Underworld. Virgil associates it with both death and immortality, partly by way of symbolic associations in Graeco-Roman culture between gold and the gods. It also recalls ideas put forth by the Roman philosopher Lucretius as to the nature of the soul. The episode of the Golden Bough was parodied by authors including Virgil's contemporary Ovid, and drawn upon by later Roman poets including Lucan and Valerius Flaccus.Early interpretations of the Golden Bough tended to give it an allegorical function, particularly via Pythagorean and Neoplatonist philosophy, which viewed it as symbolic of the choice between virtue and vice. Medieval commentators often considered it a symbol of wisdom, and several Christian theologians interpreted it as representing Christian wisdom and virtue. In the sixteenth century, it became a heraldic symbol of the Florentine House of Medici. Early modern receptions of the bough, including those of François Rabelais and Jonathan Swift, were often parodic or obscene. In the twentieth century, scholars following the Harvard School interpretation of the Aeneid argued that Virgil's use of the bough reflected his ambivalence towards Aeneas and the latter's mission to set in motion the rise of the Roman Empire. Other critics have highlighted echoes between the episode of the Golden Bough and the morally charged deaths of two of Aeneas's antagonists, Dido and Turnus.In the fourth or fifth century CE, the commentator Servius connected the bough to rex Nemorensis, a priest of the goddess Diana at Lake Nemi whose office was passed on by the killing of its holder. This equation influenced the anthropologist James George Frazer, who used the bough for the title of his 1890 work on comparative religion. The bough is recalled in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy and was the subject of an 1834 painting by J. M. W. Turner, which was used as the frontispiece for the early editions of Frazer's book. It was an influential motif in the "Byzantium" poems of W. B. Yeats and in the poetry of Seamus Heaney, who made several translations of Virgil's account of the episode. Scholars have also drawn parallels between the Golden Bough and significant objects in the novels of J. R. R. Tolkien.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:53 UTC on Tuesday, 12 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Golden Bough (Aeneid) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Emma.

before monsters learned their names, before heroes thought themselves immortal, there was a voice learning to speak. it's time for herstory, not history as we turn to Circe by Madeline Miller - a retelling and reimaging of Circe, the witch of The Odyssey - a story that promises to be absorbing, luminous and spellbinding – a feminist novel, ripe for the #metoo generation. we talk all about Greek mythology, our newly uncovered adoration for Madeline Miller, our previous podcast episode on the highs and lows (but mainly lows) of The Song of Achilles and ask ourselves the question, can the works of Madeline Miller be redeemed by Circe or are we fated to eternal literary woe?  send us your voice messages here

This is the final episode of our Greek Pantheon series (sad times), we explore the deities who exist on the edges of Olympus. Those who challenge, disrupt, or quietly sustain. We dive into Dionysus, god of sacred chaos, release, and creative freedom, and Hestia, goddess of the hearth, home, and stillness. Then we explore powerful “wild card” figures: Nyx, the primordial force of night. Circe, the solitary witch of transformation. Eos, goddess of dawn and new beginnings. Finally we speak about Pan, the embodiment of wild instinct and the origin of panic itself.Together, we unpack their myths, symbolism, and how their energies might show up in your life from creative urges and shadow work to rest, ritual, and reclaiming your wildness.Order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DoneJoin our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagic

This episode explores Circe in Greek mythology through Homer's Odyssey, presenting her as a powerful sorceress and full goddess born to Helios and a sea nymph, embodying balanced sun-and-moon energy. Circe is known as a powerful witch with vast knowledge of potions and herbs. On her lush, animal-filled island, she welcomes Odysseus's men to a feast laced with potions that transform them into swine as a mirror of their recent war behavior. Warned by Hermes and protected by Athena's herb, Odysseus resists Circe's magic, confronts her, and they become lovers, living together for years and having three sons; she later restores his men. Circe then teaches Odysseus necromancy—witchcraft with the dead—so he can enter the underworld, consult an expert, and learn how to navigate back to Ithaca. Circe, a powerful witch and left on her solitary island, will help you to explore power, ethics, self-knowledge, and intent in magic.

In this episode of The Classical Mind, Dr. Junius Johnson sits down with Buck Holler from the CiRCE Institute to discuss "Tapestry," a new writing and grammar curriculum designed to bridge the gap between early elementary studies and the advanced persuasive essays found in The Lost Tools of Writing. Holler explains that for twenty-five centuries, the study of grammar and literature were considered a single, unified discipline, an organic connection that was largely severed during the Enlightenment. By re-integrating these fields, the curriculum moves away from the modern trend of teaching grammar through isolated, "zigzag" sentences and instead grounds linguistic study in the rich soil of full stories, including Aesop's fables, Arthurian legends, and sacred Scripture.

Trinachia - Prima parte C'è un limite che non si può attraversare. Lo dicono tutti: Tiresia nell'Ade, Circe a Eea, Odisseo stesso ai suoi compagni. “Non toccate le vacche del Sole.” Chiaro, semplice, assoluto. Ma i divieti assoluti hanno un problema: presuppongono circostanze normali. E quando le circostanze smettono di essere normali, anche il sacro comincia a sembrare… negoziabile.

This week, we dive headfirst into Absolute Wonder Woman — a reimagining of Diana raised in hell by Circe — and we can't stop talking about how good this book is. We break down why this version finally captures the heart of Wonder Woman, why compassion is her real superpower, and why this heavy-metal redesign absolutely works. Along the way, we detour through Conan, grindhouse cinema, crocodile cult horror, and Peter's descent into AI-powered app building. It's a wild one — but mostly, we're here to say: go read this comic.Show NotesOpening Catch-Up

La Odisea es, junto a la Ilíada, el gran poema épico de la antigüedad clásica. Pero va mucho más allá, es la base de todos los relatos que versan sobre el viaje, la pérdida y el anhelo de volver a casa. La Ilíada, cuyos mitos veíamos en una ContraHistoria hace solo unas semanas, se centra en la furia de Aquiles y el estruendo de la guerra de Troya. La Odisea, también atribuida a Homero, nos sumerge en las consecuencias de esa guerra a través de los ojos de Ulises u Odiseo, el héroe que prefiere el ingenio a la espada. La historia comienza diez años después de la caída de Troya. Nos presenta a un hombre que ha perdido todo excepto su deseo de recuperar su identidad como rey, marido y padre en la pequeña isla de Ítaca. Lo que hace que este relato siga siendo fascinante miles de años después es su estructura fragmentada y muy moderna. La narración no es lineal. Comienza en el mismo nudo de la trama, con el hijo de Ulises, Telémaco, buscando desesperadamente noticias de su padre mientras los pretendientes de su madre devoran su herencia. Esta primera parte nos muestra el vacío que deja la ausencia del héroe. Es entonces cuando el propio Ulises toma la palabra en la corte de los feacios para relatar su propia historia, una historia que se cuenta por desgracias. Aquí el poema se transforma en un viaje prodigioso, una sucesión de encuentros fantásticos que funcionan como metáforas de las debilidades humanas: el olvido provocado por los lotófagos, la fuerza bruta sin inteligencia del cíclope Polifemo, la elección entre dos males que representan Escila y Caribdis o la tentación carnal y mágica de Circe y Calipso. A diferencia de los héroes tradicionales que persiguen la gloria eterna en el campo de batalla, lo que mueve a Ulises es el “nostos", el regreso al hogar. Su viaje por el Mediterráneo es una lucha constante contra el olvido y contra su propia deshumanización. Cada monstruo que enfrenta es un obstáculo que intenta apartarlo de sí mismo. Poseidón, el dios del mar, actúa como la fuerza implacable del destino que castiga su orgullo, mientras que Atenea representa la sabiduría que lo guía. El viaje es físico si, pero sobre todo psicológico. El guerrero asistido por su astucia debe debe aprender que la paciencia y el disfraz son a menudo mucho más efectivos que la espada. El clímax de la obra ocurre cuando el héroe llega finalmente a su patria, la pequeña isla de Ítaca. No regresa al son de las trompetas, sino como un mendigo andrajoso, una prueba final de humildad y la muestra definitiva de su que Ulises, antes que cualquier otra cosa, es el primer gran estratega. La famosa matanza de los pretendientes y el posterior reconocimiento con su esposa, Penélope, cierran un círculo que no enaltece a la venganza. Ulises simplemente consigue, tras muchos años de sacrificio, restablecer el orden natural de las cosas. Penélope, que ha resistido valiéndose de una astucia igual a la de su marido, se convierte en el pilar que da sentido a todo el sufrimiento previo. La Odisea es un pozo de enseñanzas, pero la principal es que el verdadero heroísmo no reside en conquistar una ciudad, sino en tener la fortaleza necesaria para volver el lugar al que pertenecemos. Para hablar de la Odisea, del viaje de Odiseo, de la época en la que fue escrito y del significado de esta obra tan importante nos acompaña hoy en La ContraHistoria un buen amigo de este programa, Yeyo Balbás.

Brenna and Joe wrap up our coverage of Percy Jackson with a look at Disney +'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians S02.It's an improvement on the film in every way, including the depth of characterization for the central trio, the great depiction of Tyson, and a fantastic episode featuring Circe.There are, however, still a few missteps, including Mr. D and Tantalus (UGH), occasional slavish to Rick Riordan's source material, and a finale we kinda hate.

I have an uncle who used to sing the craziest (and often off-color songs). He was a WWII vet and looked like the Canadian actor Lorne Greene. He would rip out the kinds of songs that sailors sang and I would rush to write down the lyrics so I could learn them. And learn them I did. The hard way. It was irritating and frustrating. Even though they say the hand builds the mind and it wasn’t the end of the world that I spent so much time writing them down and rewriting them, I was still relying on rote learning. If only I knew then what I know today about memory techniques! You see, I now memorize and regularly demonstrate poems I’ve committed to memory almost every month during my live memory training bootcamps. I’ve memorized everything from ancient Sanskrit poems to some of the most inventive contemporary poetry. And today I’m going to share a few case studies and key tips I know you’re going to love. How to Memorize Poetry Fast The fastest way I know to memorize poetry involves a combination of ancient memory techniques. These are: The Memory Palace Technique Alphabetical association Numerical association (where relevant) Spaced repetition based on solid active recall principles Now, I know that weaving together so many memory techniques to memorize poetry or even song lyrics, sounds like a lot. But if you want to memorize poems fast, stick with me. Bringing all of these strategies together is much easier than it might seem at first glance. But first, let me demonstrate that I can actually memorize poetry. I believe proof is important because there are a lot of people out there who talk about skills they cannot do. In the case of mnemonics, there are even entire forums filled with people giving advice about memory techniques when they clearly haven’t lifted a finger to memorize a poem. That, or they’ve used rote memorization and are only pretending they used mnemonics. So with those issues in mind, here are a few examples. Please be sure to watch each example because I will refer back to these recitations to help you rapidly memorize poems of your own. Example One: A Univocalic Poem In this video, you’ll see me at the Memory Palace Bookshop I’m developing practicing the recitation of a univocalic poem by Christian Bök: https://youtube.com/shorts/b6oFIOnAwng?feature=share That’s from a fantastic book of poetry called Eunoia. Example Two: Shakespeare This video not only shows me reciting lines from Titus Andronicus. It includes a very important teaching point. That’s because I also demonstrate reciting the lines forward and backward to help teach you how to more easily commit even the most difficult poem to memory using a process I call Recall Rehearsal: https://youtu.be/nhjIkGu32CA?si=s6gIJz6Poq9Zpo6C&t=1380 Now, I regularly memorize Shakespeare. But in the case of the example shared in the video above, I had a special purpose in mind. I was doing it to reproduce the memory technique Anthony Hopkins describes in his autobiography. Here’s the full case study. Example Three: Song Lyrics In this video, you’ll see and hear me singing a famous song called The Moon Represents My Heart in Chinese: https://youtu.be/dCyPV6qfKkI The entire song took just over forty minutes to commit to long-term memory. Even though it’s been a few years since I sang the whole song, I still remember most of the lyrics to this day. Every once and awhile, I whip it out and it always brings a smile to my wife’s face. The reason this Chinese poem set to music took a bit longer to memorize other poems I’ve memorized is because it’s in a foreign language that I was only just beginning to study at the time. Example Four: Poetry Quoted in a Speech When I wrote my TEDx Talk, I incorporated lines from a Sanskrit piece called the Ribhu Gita. This was an interesting challenge because it called me to recall the speech and the poetry that had already been memorized. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvtYjdriSpM This particular performance was a lot of fun, but also challenging due to the combination of a live audience, cameras and the fact that the world was starting to go into lockdown at the beginning of Covid. I had a lot on my mind, but thanks to the memory techniques you’re about to discover, I still think the talk came off fairly well. It’s been seen over four million times now, so I must have done something right. Example Five: Real-Time Poetry Memorization If you want to see me memorize in real time, check out this discussion with Guru Viking. Steve, the host, throws Shakespeare at me and I memorize a few lines and discuss how I did it in real time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J62IN_ngYH0 Now let’s get into the steps, many of which come directly from my premium course on memorizing poetry. Step one: Use the Memory Palace Technique A Memory Palace is essential for memorizing poetry, or anything verbatim. What is this technique? A Memory Palace is a mental recreation of a familiar location. For example, in the first video example above from the poem Eunoia, I used my mom’s home from where she lived years ago. I moved from the master bedroom to the kitchen and living room, to a few other bedrooms and finally out the door and down the driveway in front of the house. How to Memorize a Poem in an Hour (or Less) Using This Technique Using the method of loci, you place mnemonic images along a mental journey. As I just mentioned, I started in one room, then moved to the kitchen, the living room, and so forth. On each corner and wall, I placed an association. For example, for the line, “Awkward grammar appals a craftsman,” I placed an image of Apollinaire in a state of awe changing into being appalled. Now, what exactly it means to “place” an association along a journey in an imaginary version of a building can feel a bit abstract in the beginning. But basically, you’re taking a corner, a wall or a piece of furniture and elaborating it with strange, exaggerated ideas and feelings that remind you of each word of the poem or song lyric. You can do it in any language and if you look at the Guru Viking video above, you’ll see me demonstrate exactly how and why it works in any language. In that particular example, I use the wall behind me for Shakespeare in the same way I memorize Sanskrit phrases when memorizing ancient mantras. To Speed Up The Process When You’re Just Starting Out, Do This Learning to use the Memory Palace technique can feel challenging in the beginning. To reduce the cognitive load, I suggest making a quick sketch of a familiar location that you will turn into a Memory Palace. You don’t have to be artistic. I don’t try to make fine art of it at all. To wit, here’s a quick sketch of a bookstore in the Zamalek area of Cairo I have used many times to memorize poetry and other types of information: A Memory Palace drawn on an index card to maximize its value as a mnemonic device. This one is based on a bookstore in Zamalek, a part of Cairo. The reason for drawing out the journey is to get it clear in your mind. That way, you can spend more time on the next step. But failing to simply draw a Memory Palace in advance can lead to a lot of unnecessary frustration. That’s because you will ultimately wind up trying to encode the poem while developing the Memory Palace at the same time. To memorize any poem as quickly as possible, you need to separate the two activities. Step Two: Lay Down Your Associations One Word At A Time (Most Of The Time) Shakespeare opens King Henry the Fifth like this: O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend The brightest heaven of invention, A kingdom for a stage, princes to act And monarchs to behold our swelling scene! When I memorized these lines, I started at station one with an image of the constellation Orion over the Statue of Liberty. Using the pegword method, I associated Orion with O. Then, using the general concept of a woman that inspires people, I placed the Statue of Liberty in the Memory Palace. In this case, the Memory Palace was a workplace where I was writing curriculum in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. You might choose a completely different image for the words “muse of fire.” But the technical point is that you want to find a direct sound and spelling correspondence that is: Based on ideas and images already in your memory Makes sense to you Making sure that the associations you choose are personal is part of what scientists call active recall. For me personally, Lady Liberty is an especially apt choice not only because she represents inspiration, as the muses. She’s also holding a torch, which helps me encode the word “fire.” But I also lived in both Manhattan and Brooklyn for awhile and often crossed the Manhattan Bridge. This makes the memory of the Statue of Liberty even stronger for me, and another reason why you need to think about the images that make most sense for you. How to Associate “Little Words” for Rapid Memorization What about a word like “that”? Tricky and abstract, right? Not really. You just need to pick an association that makes sense to you while sounding or seeming as close as possible to the target information as you can get it. In the case of the Henry the Fifth line, I just took “th” and linked it with Thor and then used rhyming to have him put on a hat in a dramatic way. Thor + hat = that. When it comes to the Bök poem, there’s a part of the sequence (full poem here) where I used Thor with his hat again: Awkward grammar appals a craftsman. A Dada bard as daft as Tzara damns stagnant art and scrawls an alpha (a slapdash arc and a backward zag) that mars all stanzas and jams all ballads (what a scandal). For a small word like “all,” I used the Punk Rock band All, but only in part. Drawing upon the mnemonic teaching of people like Peter of Ravenna, Jacobus Publicius and Giordano Bruno, I used the principle of reduction. Rather than imagine the entire band, or even an entire mascot, I just imagined the eyes of the mascot. To memorize at speed, I suggest you practice this principle of reduction. Also develop what I call the Magnetic SRS in my full poetry course in the Magnetic Memory Method Masterclass. By taking an hour or so to assign association to all the pronouns and other “operator” words like “that,” you won’t have to stop and come up with associations ever again. The Magnetic SRS training in my full program goes into further detail. It will help you develop dozens of images for words that seem like they’ll be tricky or repetitive. Done well, they can be used repeatedly, but never cause confusion. Step Three: Memorize Multiple Words When You Can Memorizing more than one word in a poem at a time is called mnemonic compression. This term can mean more than one thing. But in this case, I’ve technically just given you a description of how compression works with the Statue of Liberty example. After Orion for O, she represents five words: “for a Muse of fire.” In this case, it works because I’m familiar with the workings of English grammar. But you can’t always get away with this kind of compression, especially when memorizing poetry in another language. It’s just best to keep an eye out for compression opportunities as much you can. When I memorized my TEDx talk using these techniques for speech memorization, thanks to compression, I loaded one station in my Memory Palace with up to 17 words using just 3-5 images (depending on how you count them). Keep in mind that you don’t have to start with poems with long passages like the ones I included in my TEDx Talk. A lot of people like to start with short Bible verses. I’ve put together a list of Bible verses to memorize that address the theme of memory if you’d like to select a few for practice. Step Four: Use Intelligent, Creative Repetition As I mentioned above, rote learning is a real problem. What you want instead is something called spaced repetition. It provides a simple means of reviewing memorized material on a schedule that keeps it in memory. Different poems and lyrics will require different amounts of repetition, and it’s not easy to predict in advance how much content will require how much repetition. However, there’s something called context-dependent memory. Basically, it gives you a boost when you use a lot of content frequently. Or read continually within particular categories of information. So if you read literature and quote it often, you’ll probably need less repetition than someone who doesn’t. And if you memorize the sonnet form more than free verse, you’ll likely develop a stronger and faster reliability because you’ve internalized its rules. Creative Repetition for Long-Term Maintenance For most of us, poems will fade over time no matter what we do. Fortunately, there are creative repetition strategies that can help make sure you maintain them. One is to follow in the footsteps of geniuses. For example, Anthony Hopkins keep common place books where they store and regularly revisit favorite poems. People like Thomas Jefferson used this strategy too. Another strategy is to use reflective thinking to compare various poems you’ve memorized. You can do this from poem to poem or between poems and your favorite philosophy books, historical events, etc. Finally, look for opportunities to recite the poems. Even if you just quote isolated lines, this smaller recitation will help keep the full poem within your mental reach. 3 Alternative Ways To Memorize Poetry You might be wondering if it’s possible to memorize poetry without using the Memory Palace technique. Indeed, there are. Here are some options. Rote Repetition Although I personally don’t like how rote learning feels, it is an option you can explore. It’s a slower option for most of us. But one simple way to get more mileage out of sheer repetition is to choose the time of day and location where you practice it strategically. You’ll need a lot of focus and concentration on top of sheer will power to keep repeating the same lines without the fun of mnemonics, so make sure you aren’t interrupted. I’d also suggest focusing on shorter poems for use with rote. That way you can memorize more poems in their entirety and enjoy substantial accomplishments more often. Cloze Methods A cloze test involves showing yourself parts of a poem. As you read through the poem, you try and fill in the blanks. This activity can trigger some of the positive benefits of active recall. Here’s an example of how you would apply the cloze test methodology to help yourself remember The Tyger by William Blake: Tyger Tyger, burning _____,  In the _____ of the night;  What immortal ____ or ____,  Could _____ thy ______ ______? Visual Flashcards Finally, if you’re willing to make simple drawings, you can draw on flashcards. This approach is kind of like a visual cloze test. Instead of hiding the word “bright” in the phrase “burning bright,” you would sketch an image that helps trigger the phrase. I’ve done this a fair amount with memorizing the books of the Bible. It’s a fast and easy way to help the mind make connections without having to use a Memory Palace. That said, drawing can take a lot of time. I would save this approach for when you feel like an experimental learning experience. How to Practice Reciting Poetry from Memory There are three key ways that I practice reciting poetry, not only to ensure that they’re locked in long-term memory. The point is also to get the lines as fluid as possible and bring out various parts you want to emphasize. After all, it’s not fun to sound robotic. The point of poetry is to convey meaning and beauty, humor or to stimulate some kind of emotion. One: Write the Poetry from Memory Another aspect of proper active recall practice is to call the information to mind by revisiting your associations in your Memory Palace, then write the words down. When writing out what you’ve committed to memory, don’t worry about mistakes. If you catch yourself making a mistake, just scratch it out. Then, once you’ve written as many lines as you can recall, test them against where the verse is written in a book or online. Here’s an example of a test from another part of Eunoia I recently memorized:   At this point, I hadn’t memorized the entire poem and had to start a new journal. But the important point is to test in this exact manner so that you don’t fall into rote repetition. Two: Recite Verbally As demonstrated in several of the video examples above, I practice recalling the poetry verses from memory out loud. This step is important because it gets the poetry into the muscle memory of the mouth. And this is the best way to practice adding gravitas to your performance. I suggest that you also recite the poetry out of order as you see in the Anthony Hopkins video above. This will give each line primacy and recency using the serial positioning effect, as was codified by Hermann Ebbinghaus. During the learning process, it can also be helpful to make up a little tune to go with the poetry. Even if you don’t sing it later, there’s something to chanting and singsonging that aids memory. This is something Bruno notes in his memory guide, Cantus Circaeus (Song of Circe), available in this English translation. Three: Recite Mentally It’s also valuable to practice reciting what you’ve memorized purely in your mind. You can do this solely by reciting the lines while moving through your Memory Palaces. Or you can do it without thinking of the Memory Palace journey, which is a point you should practice as soon as possible. If you are going to perform the poem live, it’s also helpful to imagine yourself delivering it live on camera or in front of an audience. I’ve done all of these things and it has really helped make sure my performance is fluid. But it also creates that priceless feeling of preparation. Your audience will appreciate your delivery much more as well. Make Poetry Memorization Part of Your Daily Life Finally, I’d like to discuss how to make poetry memorization a daily activity. We’re all different, but I personally prefer to encode new poems during the morning. This is simply because my energy is highest. Then I practice reciting in the evening. You might find that you prefer the opposite pattern. The key is to experiment, all based on having developed your mnemonic tools. Plus, it only makes sense to have a lot of poetry that you like within reach. Along with having the right memory techniques for this kind of verbatim learning task. That’s ultimately the most important tip of all. To get fast with memorizing poetry, you need to have your mnemonics prepped in advance. If you’d like more help on how the Memory Palace technique and related mnemonic strategies will help you memorize poems of any length, please consider signing up for my FREE Memory Improvement Course: It will take you through developing Memory Palaces for memorizing any poem at speed. Those poems can be as short as a simple song or as long as the Bible (which as I discuss in this tutorial, is possible to memorize). Or you can memorize songs from your weird uncle like I often did… even if I can’t always repeat them in polite company. Frankly, I wish I’d known these techniques back when I was young. Not only because I’d remember more of the words to the songs he sang. I’d remember more about him too. And that’s ultimately the greatest thing about memorizing poetry. We’re memorizing the ideas, feelings and images that impacted others, literally integrating ourselves with the stuff of life through memory.
