Podcasts about Circe

Odysseus's journey from the battlefields of Troy to his home in Ithaca is one of the greatest stories ever told. From the lotus-eaters to the sirens, from Circe to the Cyclops, this is a tale of thrilling adventures, cunning escapes, and enduring devotion. Stephen Fry breathes new life into the ancient poem with humor and pathos also found in his previous books Mythos, Heroes, and Troy.Illustrated throughout with classical art inspired by the myths, this final volume invites you to explore a captivating world with a brilliant storyteller as your guide.In the vein of Madeline Miller's Circe or Song of Achilles, Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology, or Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls,ODYSSEY is an engaging and nuanced retelling. .Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Cristina Dell'AcquaRoi Edizioniwww.roiedizioni.itSeneca "Come vivere felici"Traduzione a cura di Alessandro BenziDe vita beata (Come vivere felici) è uno dei testi più incisivi della filosofia antica, che affronta una domanda eterna: che cos'è, davvero, la felicità? E come si raggiunge? Con uno stile limpido e tagliente, Seneca smonta false convinzioni e mode effimere – dalla corsa alla ricchezza all'ossessione per il piacere – per guidarci verso una vita fondata sulla ragione, sulla virtù e sull'autenticità. Perché, in fondo, la vita beata non è qualcosa da cercare lontano: è un modo di abitare il presente, con lucidità e coraggio.Ovidio "Come guarire dalle pene d'amore"Traduzione a cura di Roberta SevieriI Remedia amoris (Come guarire dalle pene d'amore) sono una tra le opere meno esplorate di Ovidio. Eppure bellissima. Un dialogo tra il poeta e Cupido, il dio dell'amore. Un'occasione per riflettere sul perché la vita amorosa, con tutte le sue regole, le sue convenzioni e i suoi effetti collaterali, sia così complicata, e talvolta anche dolorosa. In un mondo in cui tutti ci prendiamo terribilmente sul serio Ovidio può insegnarci ad avere sull'amore uno sguardo più disincantato e giocoso, non frivolo o superficiale, ma semplicemente più lucido.Cicerone "Il valore dell'amicizia"Traduzione a cura di Silvia PeruccaIl De amicitia (Il valore dell'amicizia) è una lettura preziosa in un'epoca in cui la quotidianità frenetica ci sottrae sempre più tempo per coltivare amicizie profonde. Il modo di intendere i rapporti sociali è cambiato, ma il dolore della solitudine rimane lo stesso lungo i millenni. Perché un amico è quella persona con cui desideriamo condividere la gioia di un successo così come la ferita di una delusione, e sarà proprio lui a renderci più lieve quest'ultima: parola di Cicerone, che non a caso ha scritto questo dialogo proprio nell'anno peggiore della sua vita.Plutarco "Come rispettare gli animali"Traduzione a cura di Marzia MortarinoBruta animalia ratione uti (Gli animali usano la ragione) e De esu carnium (Sul mangiar carne) fanno parte dei testi sugli animali di Plutarco. Il primo, un dialogo tra Ulisse e uno degli uomini trasformati in maiali da Circe, dimostra inconfutabilmente che la natura suina (e in generale quella animale) è superiore a quella umana. Il secondo, più tagliente, è dedicato alla crudeltà del mangiare carne. Quasi duemila anni fa, Plutarco sorprende con una visione rivoluzionaria e ci invita a riflettere sul nostro rapporto con gli altri esseri viventi, parlando al cuore (e alla coscienza) del lettore di oggi.Cristina Dell'Acqua, direttrice editoriale della collanaÈ laureata in greco all'Università degli studi di Milano.Insegnante di latino e greco al Collegio San Carlo di Milano è da sempre appassionata di sperimentazione didattica, con corsi di aggiornamento ad Annapolis, negli Stati Uniti.E' vicepreside dei licei del Collegio San Carlo con delega alle relazioni esterne e all'innovazione didattica.

Reading in community can take you more deeply into a book, and more deeply into the heart of friendship, too. If you've ever wanted to start a book group or wondered how to lead a class discussion on a classic work of literature, Jennifer Dow's wise counsel can help you do both. You don't have to know everything about a book in order to do this. Jennifer suggests that “If the goal is community and the hospitality that leads to healing, we must provide free space with clear, helpful boundaries. We must meet people where they are, at the same time offer or invite others to a vision of what can be, together, shoulder to shoulder. This expresses itself in the environment we curate, the content we behold, and the way we teach or read.” Join us to learn more about how to cultivate a reading atmosphere that leads to learning, growth, and relationship. About Jennifer Jennifer Dow is a classical teacher, speaker, and writer. Jennifer has completed the CiRCE Apprenticeship as a CiRCE certified Classical Teacher and has taught humanities, logic, rhetoric, and the fine arts since 2009. She is the founder of the Paideia Fellowship, an organization devoted to helping teachers and leaders, at home and school, teach the classical liberal arts.  Jennifer's published works can be seen around the web, was a contributing author for The Lost Tools of Writing Level 1, published by The CiRCE Institute. Jennifer has spoken across the nation on how to teach and encounter the classical liberal arts and hosted The Classical Homeschool Podcast, been featured on Your Morning Basket Podcast with Pam Barnhill and The Commons with Brian Phillips. Currently, Jennifer is writing her first book about the journey of classical learning and teaching, serving as the Director of the Paideia Fellowship, and researching how parents, leaders, and teachers can provide an authentic and healing classical education to all. Jennifer, an Orthodox Christian, lives in North Carolina with her three children and enjoys spoken word poetry, trying her hand at fancy cuisine, collecting more books than she'll ever read, and the occasional Netflix binge.

Achilles. Agamemnon. Odysseus. Hector. The lives of these and many other men in the greatest epics of ancient Greece have been pored over endlessly in the past three millennia. But these are not just tales about heroic men. There are scores of women as well—complex, fascinating women whose stories have gone unexplored for far too long. In Penelope's Bones: A New History of Homer's World through the Women Written Out of It (University of Chicago Press, 2025), award-winning classicist and historian Dr. Emily Hauser pieces together compelling evidence from archaeological excavations and scientific discoveries to unearth the richly textured lives of women in Bronze Age Greece—the era of Homer's heroes. Here, for the first time, we come to understand the everyday lives and experiences of the real women who stand behind the legends of Helen, Briseis, Cassandra, Aphrodite, Circe, Athena, Hera, Calypso, Penelope, and more. In this captivating journey through Homer's world, Dr. Hauser explains era-defining discoveries, such as the excavation of Troy and the decipherment of Linear B tablets that reveal thousands of captive women and their children; more recent finds like the tomb of the Griffin Warrior at Pylos, whose tomb contents challenge traditional gender attributes; DNA evidence showing that groups of warriors buried near the Black Sea with their weapons and steeds were, in fact, Amazon-like female fighters; a prehistoric dye workshop on Crete that casts fresh light on “women's work” of dyeing, spinning, and weaving textiles; and a superbly preserved shipwreck off the coast of Turkey whose contents tell of the economic and diplomatic networks crisscrossing the Bronze Age Mediterranean. Essential reading for fans of Madeline Miller or Natalie Haynes, this riveting new history brings to life the women of the Bronze Age Aegean as never before, offering a groundbreaking reassessment of the ancient world. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This is a re-edit and re-upload of the Chthonia episode on Circe, or Kirke, from 2019. Circe is best known for her encounter with Odysseus and his men in the Odyssey, where she turns the men into pigs, and Odysseus defeats her magic with the moly plant. While Circe is a central Anima figure in this story, she also appears in others as Medea's aunt and the daughter of the sun god Helios.

This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

A mitologia grega frequentemente conta histórias envolvendo figuras femininas que se tornam dependentes de “papeis femininos” ou sacrificam algo por sua independência. Nos dias atuais, no entanto, mulheres da vida real traçam trajetórias inspiradoras, provando que a única pessoa que deve dizer quais são as suas funções, metas e sacrifícios é você mesma. E a convidada de hoje, inaugurando o novo quadro “Grandes Astros”, vem conversar conosco sobre isso e muito mais. A dubladora, atriz, comunicadora, professora, mãe e tantas coisas mais conta um pouco de sua trajetória, deixando um recado especial para as mulheres que se sentem divididas entre a maternidade e a carreira e para todos que se sentem inseguros em lutar por seus sonhos. Rita Ávila, que brilhou como a voz brasileira de Elektra Abundance na série “Pose”, Circe em “Comando das Criaturas” e Sedosa Acrobata em “Dandadan” tem muito a dizer para você. Bora ouvir?

Absolute Wonder Woman #1 (2025)Absolute Month from DC Comics rolls along as we check out the immensely awesome ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN! There's a lot to dig here because it's basically Wonder Woman rubbing monster blood across her eyes and slaughtering assorted Hell demons and monsters that fly out of an upside down pyramid in the sky. If that's not wild enough, Absolute WW was RAISED AS A CHILD in Hell by Circe and it looks downright cozy! We also need to stress that “Hell” is just an island somewhere that the Greek gods occasionally visit to foist babies onto reluctant witches. All this plus Mike Wazowski from MONSTERS INC visits the stygian abyss!Also, Jen and Shawn talk about the Ministry concert, recent comic book purchases and castles in the Adirondacks.*** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:20:25 ***Promos: PEACE BOUND AND DOWN - A WONDER WOMAN PODCAST (https://fireandwaterpodcast.com/show/wonderwoman/)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

Con ella exploramos el personaje de Circe, la famosa hechicera de la Odisea de Homero, y cómo se percibía el hecho mágico por parte de los griegos. Además comentamos cómo eran los rituales y conjuros, tanto en la mitología, en la literatura y en la vida cotidiana, y su inseparable asociación con el mundo femenino, y por supuesto, su relación con la ópera de los siglos XVII y XVIII y el contexto actual. Con música de Händel, Desmarets, Purcell, Caccini.

Odysseus's journey from the battlefields of Troy to his home in Ithaca is one of the greatest stories ever told. From the lotus-eaters to the sirens, from Circe to the Cyclops, this is a tale of thrilling adventures, cunning escapes, and enduring devotion. Stephen Fry breathes new life into the ancient poem with humor and pathos also found in his previous books Mythos, Heroes, and Troy.Illustrated throughout with classical art inspired by the myths, this final volume invites you to explore a captivating world with a brilliant storyteller as your guide.In the vein of Madeline Miller's Circe or Song of Achilles, Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology, or Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls,ODYSSEY is an engaging and nuanced retelling. .Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Send us a textEver wonder what it's like to stand backstage with rock legends? Jay takes us on a nostalgic journey to his youth when he and "Long-Haired Mark" watched Van Halen perform from the side stage during the Monsters of Rock tour. These personal memories frame a fascinating discussion about how band relationships evolve – and sometimes dissolve – over time, with Van Halen's members unable to reunite even for a tribute to Eddie Van Halen after his passing.The music industry conversation spans generations of artists, from established acts to emerging talents. We dive into Hailstorm's upcoming album "Everest," Linkin Park's reinvention with a female vocalist, and Metallica's massive world tour featuring an eclectic mix of supporting acts. As we discuss Shaboosie's record-breaking 40 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot Country charts and the star-studded performances at Stagecoach Festival, the show explores how artists continuously evolve while staying connected to their roots.The heart of the episode centers on our listeners' passionate responses to the question: "What cover song is better than the original?" From Disturbed's hauntingly powerful version of "Sound of Silence" to Guns N' Roses' energetic take on "Live and Let Die," the conversation reveals how artists transform familiar works into something uniquely their own. We also spotlight independent duo Circe, examining how their DIY approach to music creation represents the changing landscape of artist development in today's industry.Whether you're a longtime music fan or simply curious about the stories behind the songs, this episode offers a genuine, unfiltered look at the creative forces that shape the soundtrack of our lives.

Francesco Zarzana"Buk Festival"Festival della piccola e media editoriawww.bukfestival.itModena capitale della piccola e media  editoria italiana con la 18^ edizione di BUK Festival in programma sabato 3 e domenica 4 maggio nel cuore della città, il Chiostro di San Paolo che ospiterà, insieme a una vasta rappresentanza di editori, il cartellone di incontri con tante anteprime editoriali, allestito dal direttore artistico Francesco Zarzana per la cura organizzativa di Sara Caselli. Promosso da ProgettArte che proprio in questa edizione festeggia i suoi primi 25 anni, BUK Festival torna con una traccia tematica, Le trame e la vita,  che nell'edizione della maggiore età riscopre la letteratura di genere con un cartellone di percorsi gialli, storici e di impegno civile - libri inediti, nuovissimi o recenti di case editrici piccole e medie di tutta Italia.E con tante novità, prima fra tutte, nella Giornata mondiale del Libro mercoledì 23 aprile alle 21 al Teatro Storchi, la consegna del Premio Speciale BUK 2025 alla scrittrice torinese Deborah Gambetta, autrice di Incompletezza(Ponte alle Grazie), proprio ieri entrata nella dozzina finalista del Premio Strega 2025 per quest'opera. Il riconoscimento, recitano le motivazioni, viene conferito «per aver indagato attraverso la scrittura narrativa, le leggi matematiche e, così facendo, quelle della vita, alimentando di passione l'una e l'altra ricerca e intuendo le sinergie “carsiche” fra due “culture” circoscritte da confini puramente convenzionali». Spiega il direttore artistico di BUK Festival Francesco Zarzana che «il riconoscimento si identifica con il festival e nelle ultime edizioni è stato conferito a firme della narrativa contemporanea come Rosella Postorino nel 2024, Maurizio De Giovanni nel 2023 e Donatella Di Pietrantonio nel 2022, in precedenza a Paolo Mieli, Federica Manzon, Barbara Schiavulli, Emma D'Aquino, Barbara Baraldi e a pordenonelegge quale miglior festival letterario italiano». Mercoledì 23 aprile sarà anche la grande serata di Anteprima di BUK 2025: al Teatro Storchi infatti andrà in scena Gli occhi di Omero (Les yeux d'Homère), protagonista la nota attrice francese Fanny Gilles diretta dal regista Francesco Zarzana: prodotto da ProgettArte, lo spettacolo riprende la disputa accademica secondo la quale Omero sarebbe in realtà stato la prima poetessa greca: avrebbe conosciuto un anziano cieco ascoltando da lui le storie di Nausicaa, Circe, Calypso, la Dea Atena, le Sirene, Scilla, Euriclea, Penelope e così alimentando una prospettiva tutta femminile all'impianto generale dell'Iliade e dell'Odissea. Fra le novità di BUK Festival 2025, domenica 4 maggio alle 10, anche la Biblioteca Umana: evento aperto alla partecipazione del pubblico, dove i “veri” libri da leggere saranno le persone, con le loro esperienze di vita. «BUK Festival – osserva l'Assessore alla Cultura del Comune di Modena, Andrea Bortolamasi – è un appuntamento importante per il tessuto culturale della nostra città, perché promuove la lettura e l'attività delle piccole e medie realtà editoriali. E l'anteprima del 23 aprile, nella Giornata Mondiale del Libro, o un'ulteriore opportunità per avvicinarsi al moffriràndo dei libri in modo fresco e coinvolgente».  A BUK Festival spicca il percorso delle anteprime e novità 2025 in chiave giallo-noir:  come per il thriller distopico del divulgatore scientifico Andrea Segrè, Gelo profondo. La nuova era glaciale, da poco uscito per Minerva, e le pubblicazioni inedite firmate da ProgettArte, in uscita il 3 maggio, in occasione di BUK 2025: Il Fermo Posta di Robìne, di Pasquale Biscari, un romanzo sospeso tra introspezione e mistero, e una storia “gialla” attinta dalle cronache anni Novanta: I Diavoli della Bassa di Federico Mazzoli sulle presunte messe sataniche nella Bassa modenese. Anteprima assoluta a BUK per Giraldi editore con il giallo-fantasy dello scrittore Pierangelo Soldati, Robin Barlow. La morte corre sulla tela del ragno, e con Il lupo sotto la pelle (vol. 1 e 2) di Graziano Lonardi, una saga thriller venata di horror pubblicata dall'editore De Tomi. Fra le anteprime assolute di BUK Festival anche quelle legate al tema del viaggio, reale o metaforico: domenica 4 maggio, alle 16 nello Spazio Portici, per i giovani lettori si presenta il delicatissimo albo illustrato di Mila Lodi, Viva la vita, e il cooperatore sociale e scrittore Paolo Menzani firma una guida speciale, La Via degli Dei, sullo storico cammino tra Bologna e Firenze, una “guida marsupio” arricchita da contenuti in realtà aumentata, queste sono pensate per accompagnare i viaggiatori passo dopo passo.

[See our Stories for direct links!]First up is Emsy, seeking a fragrance for a transformative period in life while dealing with chronic pain and preparing for an exciting theatre production.

Words are worth a thousand pictures by Eli Woolery How does Sir Jony Ive, the famed former head of design at Apple, start every project? If, like me, you guessed by sketching, you'd be wrong. I was surprised to learn when he visited the design capstone class I co-teach at Stanford that he starts all projects by writing. But Jony gave our class a powerful example of why writing is a far more versatile conceptual tool than sketching. He spoke of working with a landscape designer on his property in the UK. The designer could have shared drawings, but instead he wrote about the night garden, and how the flagstones would radiate both the heat from the warmth of the day and the fragrance of the flowers along the pathway. “I write because I realized at art school that you can only draw a small percentage of the attributes of an object. You know, if I were to draw this [holds up a glass], you would understand only 20 percent of its nature. You would have no sense of its weight or material or temperature. You would have no sense of the way that it reacted to its environment. Writing helps me frame the problem. A lot of mistakes are made when you frame a problem, because you could already be dismissing 60 percent, 70 percent of the potential ideas.” —Jony Ive, in an interview with McKinsey Quarterly Free from the constraints that even the best draftsperson would face, Jony and his team can conceptualize not only the look of products, but the touch, weight, and even the emotions they trigger. Perhaps it shouldn't surprise us that good design can start with writing. Good writers are adept at taking an iterative approach to creativity. They create memorable characters through empathy. Their characters evolve, and they often reimagine old stories with new, innovative approaches. “The difference between writers and non-writers is that writers go back again and again. My old classics teacher used to say that the people who succeeded in classics were the people with the highest tolerance for failure. I think the same is true for writers.”—Madeline Miller, author of Circe and The Song of Achilles Madeline Miller is a great example of an author who uses all of these techniques in her writing. Her book Circe takes the titular character who was a peripheral—if important—part of Homer's Odyssey, and reimagines her as the protagonist. Her empathetic approach to the enchantress-in-exile reframes the story in a way that makes us feel a human connection to the not-quite-human character. Professional writers also aren't afraid to make mistakes as they go. Many have a bias toward action, creating the rough outlines (parallel to a prototype) of the work before going back to refine it. “My husband is a master carpenter. When I asked him if master carpenters make fewer mistakes than regular carpenters, he said no–but they recognize [the mistakes] more quickly. It's the same for writers as they gain experience.” —Madeline Miller, author of Circe and The Song of Achilles Former guests on the show, David Sedaris and Dan Pink, shared wisdom about writing that can teach us plenty about becoming better designers.

Your Creative Mind Table Read: What if Odysseus had to answer for his choices? A playwright dares to ask. What if the women of The Odyssey had the final say?

Maria Bakalova knows what she's doing when it comes to finding top-tier creative partners in film and television. As a student studying at the National Academy for Theatre and Film Arts in Bulgaria, she gravitated toward acclaimed filmmakers Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov, a directing duo she still works with to this day. She met Julian Kostov in 2019 when he shared a casting notice for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, the movie that'd ultimately earn Bakalova an Oscar nomination. Now, Kostov is Bakalova's producing partner. Under their Five Oceans banner they produced Triumph with Grozeva and Valchanov directing. The film was selected as the Bulgarian entry for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. Next up on Bakalova's list of dream collaborators she's hoping to establish a long-standing creative partnership with? James Gunn. In fact, during her Collider Ladies Night interview, Bakalova noted, “If I have to choose one person that I want to stick with the rest of my life, it will be him.”Bakalova worked with Gunn for the first time on Guardians on the Galaxy Vol. 3 in which she played Cosmo the Space Dog. While Gunn's run with the Marvel Cinematic Universe would come to an end there, his working relationship with Bakalova wouldn't. Gunn made the shift from Marvel to DC, and brought Bakalova along with him. He cast her as Princess Ilana Rostovic in his adult animated series, Creature Commandos, the project that'd kick off the new DC Universe. At the start of the show, Task Force M is brought in to protect the Princess and the nation of Pokolistan from Circe (voiced by Anya Chalotra) and the Sons of Themyscira. However, as the season progresses, those involved start to question who they're protecting the Princess from - and if she needs protecting at all.With all seven episodes of Creature Commandos Season 1 now available to stream on Max, Bakalova joined me for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to revisit her journey to the DC animated series, and to share her take on what goes down during the finale episode of the season.
