主播：Flora（中国）+ 梅莉（法国） 音乐：Apple And Cinnamon最近，年度史诗级大片（epic blockbuster）《奥德赛》（The Odyssey）终于上映了（hit theaters）。不过，电影上映之后，一些网友却表示：“画面确实很震撼……但是剧情看得有点懵？”其实，不光是中国观众会有这种感觉，甚至一些英语母语者（English speaker）也觉得《奥德赛》有点难懂（find it confusing）。所以这期节目，我们没有 spoilers（剧透）电影，而是先给大家补充几个非常重要的背景。知道这些之后，再去看电影，很多原本让人一头雾水的地方，可能就会突然变得清晰起来。01. The Odyssey Wasn't Originally a Movie 《奥德赛》最初根本不是一部电影看《奥德赛》之前，首先要知道一件事：《奥德赛》最初既不是电影，也不是小说，而是一部 ancient Greek epic poem（古希腊史诗）。这部作品大约三千年前诞生，传统上被认为是( be traditionally attributed to )由古希腊诗人Homer（荷马）创作的。它也是今天依然被人们阅读的最古老的故事之一。而对于很多西方人来说，《奥德赛》并不是一部“突然出现的电影”，而是从小就听过、学过的经典故事。很多西方国家的孩子在学校里都会接触Homer以及《奥德赛》。这一点，其实很像中国孩子从小就会接触《西游记》。所以，当电影里出现Odysseus、Athena或者其他人物时，很多西方观众可能根本不需要电影重新介绍他们。They already know who they are（他们早就知道这些人物是谁了）。而这也正是一些中国观众看《奥德赛》时容易产生“信息差”的地方。02. Greek Mythology Is Everywhere 希腊神话，其实就在我们身边《奥德赛》背后的整个世界，都建立在一个非常重要的文化体系之上：Greek mythology（希腊神话）。这可不是一个只有《奥德赛》才会出现的东西。Greek mythology is everywhere in Western culture——books, movies, video games, even company names（书籍、电影、电子游戏，甚至公司名称）。《奥德赛》中会出现gods（众神）、goddesses（女神）、Titans（泰坦）、Cyclopes（独眼巨人）、Sirens（海妖），以及各种各样的神话生物和怪物。对于很多西方孩子来说，已经是文化常识(general knowledge)了。比如大家非常熟悉的运动品牌Nike，其实就来自希腊神话中的Nike——the goddess of victory（胜利女神）。再比如，我们英语里说的“地图册”是atlas。这个词同样来自希腊神话：Atlas是一个被惩罚、必须永远扛着天空的Titan（泰坦巨人）。所以，当你在英语世界里看到一些看似普通的单词、品牌名称或者文学表达（literary expressions）时，它们背后有时候藏着的，可能就是几千年前的希腊神话。所以，真正看懂《奥德赛》，有时候并不只是看懂剧情，而是要先打开这扇通往Greek mythology（希腊神话）的大门。03. Why Is It Called “Odyssey”? “Odyssey”为什么成了英语单词？除了是一部史诗的名字，odyssey这个词本身也已经进入了英语词典，成为了一个我们今天依然会使用的普通英语单词。它通常指的是：A long journey full of challenges and adventures（一次充满挑战和冒险的漫长旅程）。不过，odyssey和普通的journey（旅程）还是不太一样。Not every trip is an odyssey. An odyssey changes you.一次普通的旅行可能只是从A地去B地，但一段真正的odyssey，往往意味着你在这段旅程中经历了困难、挑战和意想不到的事情，最终也因此成为了一个不一样的人。所以，我们完全可以把这个词用在现实生活中。比如：Learning Chinese has been quite an odyssey.学习中文，就是一段漫长而充满挑战的旅程。又或者：Starting a business is an odyssey.创业，也可能是一场充满挑战的人生旅程。所以，当英语母语者听到odyssey这个词时，他们想到的往往不只是“旅行”，而是一段transformative journey（改变一个人的旅程）。而这其实也正是《奥德赛》这个故事最核心的含义之一：Odysseus经历的从来不只是一场漫长的旅途，他在这段旅程中不断面对危险、诱惑和选择，也在一次次经历中发生改变。04. Why Does The Odyssey Feel So Hard to Understand? 为什么很多人会觉得《奥德赛》难懂？很多人觉得《奥德赛》不好懂，还有一个非常重要的原因——里面出现的大量人物和生物，对很多中国观众来说可能非常陌生（unfamiliar）。但对西方观众来说，他们早就知道这些角色来自哪里。The Odyssey is not a superhero movie. It's based on Greek mythology(希腊神话).所以电影里的很多人物，并不是一个个突然出现的陌生角色，而是来自一个庞大的神话体系。比如：gods（众神）,goddesses（女神）,Titans（泰坦）,Cyclopes（独眼巨人）,Sirens（海妖）,以及各种各样的神话生物和怪物。而这也意味着，《奥德赛》里有很多情节，如果不了解这些文化背景(cultural background)，就很容易觉得：“这个人为什么突然出现？他为什么这么生气？他们为什么这么怕这个神？”但如果你知道这些人物背后的故事，就会发现，电影里的很多冲突其实都有自己的文化逻辑（Cultural Logic）。接下来，我们就来看看《奥德赛》里一个非常重要、却很容易被忽略的规则——Xenia。这个词甚至可以说是理解很多剧情的关键。05. Zeus' Law: The Most Important Rule “宙斯法则”到底是什么？如果说《奥德赛》里的怪物和冒险构成了故事的表面，那么rules（规则）则是理解这个故事非常重要的一层。其中有一条规则，我们可能第一次听说：Xenia。Xenia可以理解为Guest friendship（宾客之谊），也就是古希腊非常重要的sacred hospitality（神圣的待客之道）。在古希腊，陌生人来到你家，并不是简单地“客气一下”就够了，而应以神圣之礼相待 （be considered sacred），一个陌生人来到家中，主人应该先给他食物，让他休息、照顾好他，然后再询问：“你是谁？从哪里来？”也就是说，hospitality（待客之道）并不只是good manners（礼貌），而是一种神圣的责任。那么，为什么大家都必须遵守这套规则呢？因为在古希腊人的观念中，你根本不知道眼前这个陌生人是谁。Anyone could be sent by Zeus.也许他就是宙斯派来的客人。所以，如果你不好好招待客人，不仅仅是“没礼貌”，甚至可能是在冒犯（offend）众神之王。因此，这套规则有时也会被理解为Zeus's law（宙斯法则）。这也是为什么《奥德赛》里有一些冲突，看起来可能只是“主人为什么不让客人进来”“为什么一定要好好招待陌生人”，但放在古希腊文化背景中，这些行为的意义完全不一样。所以，下次再看《奥德赛》时，如果发现人物突然强调“客人”“招待”“食物”“庇护”这些事情，就要意识到：这背后可能不只是待客礼仪，而是Xenia在发挥作用。06. The Trojan Horse 特洛伊木马为什么这么有名？说到《奥德赛》背后的故事，还有一个几乎所有人都听过的名字：The Trojan Horse（特洛伊木马）。即使没有读过Greek mythology，很多人也听过这个故事。希腊人长期无法攻下特洛伊城，于是假装撤退（retreat），留下了一匹巨大的木马。特洛伊人以为这是希腊人留下的礼物，于是把木马搬进了城。然而到了晚上，躲在木马里的士兵偷偷出来，打开城门，最终帮助希腊人攻陷了特洛伊。这个故事之所以流传至今，是因为Trojan Horse早已经不只是一个神话故事，而成为了英语里的一个固定表达。如今，“特洛伊木马”一词指一种隐藏在看似无害（harmless）之物内部的危险事物。也就是说，某个东西表面上看起来完全无害，甚至像一份礼物，但里面却隐藏着危险，我们就可以把它比作一个Trojan Horse。最常见的例子可能就是电脑里的“木马病毒”。英语里直接叫：Trojan。因为这种恶意软件往往会伪装成正常的软件或文件，先骗你打开，然后偷偷进入电脑。所以，当你听到有人说：It's a Trojan Horse.他可能说的根本不是一匹木马，而是在提醒你：Be careful—there's something dangerous hiding inside.（小心，里面可能藏着危险。）07. The Monsters Aren't Really Monsters 怪物其实不只是怪物《奥德赛》里有大量令人印象深刻的怪物，但有意思的是，它们在故事中的作用，并不只是“制造恐怖”。这些怪物并非真正意义上的“怪物”，它们实则为某种象征（symbols)也就是说，这些怪物往往代表着人类面对的某种欲望、弱点或者困境。Cyclops 独眼巨人：野蛮与文明的冲突。首先是非常经典的Cyclops（独眼巨人）。在故事里，Cyclops当然是一个只有一只眼睛的巨大怪物，但它所代表的远不止外表。它象征着brutality（野蛮）、selfishness（自私），以及对文明规则（rules of civilization）的拒绝。Sirens 海妖：最危险的东西，有时恰恰最诱人另一个大家非常熟悉的角色是Sirens（海妖）。海妖最有名的就是迷人的歌声。她们不会拿着武器追杀你，而是用美妙的歌声让你主动走向危险。所以：真正危险的东西，有时候并不是因为它看起来可怕，而恰恰是因为它太tempting（诱人）了。所以在现代英语和文化中，人们有时也会用siren或者siren song来形容一种让人难以抗拒、却可能带来危险的诱惑。甚至有人会把现代社会中的social media（社交媒体）比作Sirens：Social media is like the Sirens—always calling for your attention, always tempting you to keep scrolling (诱惑你耍手机).不得不说，这个比喻放到今天实在太贴切了。你本来只想刷五分钟，结果一个视频接着一个视频，最后根本停不下来。Scylla & Charybdis：左右都是危险除了Cyclops和Sirens，《奥德赛》里还有一对非常有名的危险：Scylla and Charybdis。一个是可怕的海怪，另一个则是危险的漩涡。更麻烦的是，你往往很难同时避开它们。正如故事中的情况：避开（Avoid）其中一个，但却直接驶向另一个。所以英语里后来就有了一个非常有意思的表达：Between Scylla and Charybdis用来形容一种左右都是危险、进退两难的处境。这和我们中文里的“两害相权取其轻”有一点相似——当两种选择都存在风险时，你只能权衡之后，选择损失相对较小的那个。所以，《奥德赛》里的这些怪物，其实并不只是故事里的“怪兽”。它们也可以被看作人类在漫长人生旅途中不断遇到的各种困难：brutality、temptation、fear、difficult choices……而这也让《奥德赛》的故事在几千年之后，依然能够被现代人理解。08. What Is The Odyssey Really About? 《奥德赛》真正讲的是什么？很多人第一次听到《奥德赛》的故事，可能会觉得：这不就是一个充满怪物、战争和冒险的故事吗？但如果真正理解了这个故事，你会发现，《奥德赛》并非讲述冒险（adventures）的故事——它实则是在讲述寻找归途的故事。奥德修斯（Odysseus）经历了战争、怪物、风暴、诱惑和背叛，面对过无数危险。但无论经历什么，他真正想做的事情其实始终没有改变：He wants to go home.这里的home也不只是一个地理意义上的“家”。它代表的是他真正想回去的地方，以及他想重新找回的生活、身份和人与人之间的连接。所以，The Odyssey isn't about finding a new world. It's about finding your way home.这句话其实非常适合用来理解整部作品。而有意思的是，三千年过去了，odyssey这个词依然活跃在现代英语里。因为我们每个人的人生，也都可能经历属于自己的odyssey。有人经历一段漫长的求学之旅，有人经历创业，有人离开家乡去陌生的城市生活，也有人在人生低谷之后重新找到自己的方向。这些经历都不只是简单的journeys（旅程）。They change you.这或许也是《奥德赛》能够流传近三千年的原因，并非因为其中的怪物（monsters），也非因为那些战役（battles），而是因为每个人都能感受到在最终找到归宿之前，经历一段漫长旅程的感觉。我们可能没有遇到Cyclops，没有被Sirens诱惑，也没有在海上漂泊十年，但我们每个人都可能经历一段漫长而充满挑战的旅程。而当我们最终回头看的时候，也许才会发现：The journey changed us.这才是odyssey这个词真正迷人的地方——它不仅是一段旅程，更是一段让你在经历之后，成为另一个自己的旅程。如果最近你准备去看《奥德赛》，希望今天这些背景知识，能够帮助你更好地理解电影。以后当我们再次听到odyssey这个词时，它就不仅仅是一部三千年前的史诗，也不仅仅是一部电影，而可以代表每一个人生命中那段充满挑战、成长和寻找自我的旅程。So, what's been the biggest odyssey in your own life?欢迎大家在评论区留言，分享你人生中经历过的那一段属于自己的Odyssey。

Doing an episode on the sun, our central fiery point that takes up 99.86% of the mass of our solar system and gives the system itself a name, turned out to be quite the task. Enormous, if you will. I've always found that the Sun in astrology felt a little... flat. Two dimensional. It was though we were looking at the image with that singular eye that the sun conjures to our minds. The image of the all-seeing-eye of the Cyclopes that, in reality, has no depth perception. So, this episode is an effort to add a second eye (I?) to the sun. To see it as a series of 'both... and' propositions. The still centre of it all AND the cacophony of sound and light that springs forth from it. The first breath of creative fire AND every subsequent humble endeavour. And as Apollo, the archer seeing from afar AND the one enamoured with life on earth, particularly the floral world whom he chases but can never obtain. It's an episode effectively in two parts. Part One is to get a sense of the sun in Astrology. We sit in the temple (con-templ-ate), we stare at the glyph, we check in with the consensus of the astrological world. Then we feel the sun on our skin, allowing it to penetrate and worm our cells. We even get a sense of the scientific mythos, this ball of self-generating life, so hot at the core, cooler (relatively) at the surface, but then mysteriously blazing again as the 'corona': the sun's own royal crown. Part Two we get mythic and follow Apollo's many stories, allowing him to morph into the many shapes that our Zodiac itself allows. One moment plucking a lyre and giving us lyricism, the next pulling back the bow and reigning down arrows on his enemies. The journey takes many twists and turns, but returns us to a central image. Veiling and revelation. Being seen and unseen. Just like his birth place, Delos ("Visible"), at the centre of the Cyklades ("circle"): a humble floating rock from which all golden things are born. The image is Apollo of the Belvedere at the Vatican Museum. I am indebted to Carl Kerenyi and his book The Gods of the Greeks. Also to Apollodrus' Library.And to the extensive work of Brian Clark on astrosynthesis.com.au.(It's a fun co-incidence that this episode is released on 'Lion's Gate' 8.8.2026)Join the Newsletter!Podcast Musician: Marlia CoeurPlease consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.

Après dix années passées à combattre lors de la guerre de Troie, Ulysse ne rêve que d'une chose : rentrer sur son île d'Ithaque pour retrouver sa femme Pénélope et son fils Télémaque. Mais ce voyage, qui ne devait durer que quelques semaines, va se transformer en une errance de dix ans à travers la Méditerranée.Cyclopes, géants mangeurs d'hommes, magiciennes, sirènes, monstres marins et dieux vengeurs… Pour retrouver son royaume, Ulysse devra survivre à des épreuves légendaires, résister à l'oubli, refuser l'immortalité et assister, impuissant, à la disparition de tous ses compagnons.Mais derrière les monstres et les aventures, L'Odyssée raconte aussi l'histoire d'un homme rusé, orgueilleux et profondément imparfait, prêt à tout pour retrouver les siens.Comment Ulysse est-il parvenu à rentrer chez lui après vingt années d'absence ? Dans cette vidéo, je te résume toute L'Odyssée d'Homère en 30 minutes, de la chute de Troie jusqu'à la reconquête du palais d'Ithaque.

Homer's Odyssey was not written as a straightforward account of the Bronze Age. It emerged from centuries of oral storytelling that preserved faint memories of Mycenaean civilization, absorbed the customs of the Greek Dark Ages, and incorporated warfare, agriculture, politics, and language from Homer's own time. The collapse that followed the Trojan War transformed ruined palaces, forgotten tombs, and distant rulers into stories of Cyclopes, demigods, and legendary heroes. That complicated history also challenges criticism of Christopher Nolan's adaptation, since Homer's poem itself blends multiple eras rather than presenting a historically exact picture of ancient Greece.

In this episode of Domina Tempora, we step into the radiant and ruthless light of Apollo — the eternally youthful god who embodied the Hellenic ideal, yet whose arrows could bring both healing and devastating plague.Far more than the charming patron of music, poetry, and prophecy, Apollo is a god of striking polarities. He is the protector of children and young men, the gentle teacher of Chiron, Asclepius, and countless seers. He is the founder of cities, the giver of law, the chorus leader of the Muses, and the slayer of the monstrous Python who claimed Delphi for himself. Yet the same god who purifies and pardons is the one who punishes without mercy. His failed loves tell haunting stories of transformation and torment: Daphne fleeing into laurel bark, Coronis slain on her pyre, and the Sibyls — Cassandra, Deiphobe, and others — cursed with prophecy that brings only madness and despair.We explore Apollo's deep grudges and swift vengeance: the killing of the Cyclopes, the orchestration of Achilles' death, and the merciless slaughter of Niobe's children. Kind, cruel, near and far, purifying and polluting — Apollo stands as one of the most complex and ambivalent deities of the ancient world, a god who watches from afar yet strikes with devastating precision.If the dangerous beauty of the gods, their passions, curses, and cruel mercies call to you, my debut novel Clotho Unbound awaits. In its pages, Clotho — the Fate who has spun death for Zeus across the ages — becomes entangled with Aphrodite in forbidden, blasphemous nights that threaten to unravel the Loom of Fate itself. Their love is treason. Their desire could shatter destiny.Clotho Unbound is out now — order your copy today on Amazon (Kindle, paperback, and audiobook coming soon).Direct link:https://www.amazon.com/Clotho-Unbound-Marianne-Fisher/dp/B0GTZ8PZFVThank you for listening.Until next time — may your oracles be clear and your arrows true.

À la fin du XIIIe siècle, dans l'ancien Comté du Hainaut un étrange manuscrit écrit en ancien Wallon picard, Les Monstres des hommes, constitue la première tentative en français et en vers de chanter la diversité des formes humaines. Les peuples monstrueux ne sont pas seulement décrits, mais se voient attribuer des coutumes étrangement similaires à celles des occidentaux, présentant une remarquable proposition d'anthropologie spéculative. Ainsi, chaque monstre d'Orient, Amazones, Cyclopes, Ydriens, Anthropophages, trouve dans le manuscrit son équivalent dans la société occidentale, dont le texte fournit une critique radicale : non seulement tous les monstres sont des hommes, mais tous les hommes, même en Occident, même les plus beaux, nobles et pieux, sont des monstres. L'historien Pierre-Olivier Dittmar (EHESS) et l'historienne Maud Pérez-Simon (Univiversité Sorbonne Nouvelle/IUF), qui ont traduit et édité "Les Monstres des Hommes" aux éditions Honoré Champion, nous présente ce texte et ce manuscrits au style unique, qui questionne bien des représentations de l'occident médiéval.

Hello Interactors,I recently read an intriguing article about unexpected forms of life thriving deep within the Earth's crust. These discoveries are revitalizing environmental theories and processes that mainstream science has long tried to dismiss—yet I've been exploring them over the past few summers. While working outside, I realized that some of these processes are unfolding right under my nose...and possibly even inside it!On that note, this might sound a bit awkward, but...Let's dig in!WORLDWIDE WEATHERING WHISPERSI'm behind on my pressure washing. This can have detrimental effects here in the predominantly damp Northwest as moss spores, tiny lightweight travelers, are lifted and lofted by the wind's wings until they land on damp concrete. A new home for moss to roam.Upon contact, the spores absorb moisture and germinate, developing into a protonema — fine lines of sprawling verdant vines. As the structure crawls through the creviced concrete an anchored lace unfolds. Atop it grows a carpet of green and gold, down below tentacles grab hold.The rhizoid roots anchor mounding moss, absorbing food and water nature has tossed. As the concrete crumbles into nutrient stores, the soft moss blossoms with chromophores. Over time, atop the luscious mountains and rocky moistened pours, the wind releases more lofting spores.It turns out the contrasting boundary between soft squishy plants and hard concrete is as pronounced as the divisions between the disciplines of biology and geology. But advances in Earth System Science are starting blur these boundaries, as integrative science tends to do. Like moss softening concrete.My expansive moss colonies, part of the plant kingdom, house communities of tiny microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and microscopic animals like rotifers and tardigrades. Many of these communities have symbiotic relationships with moss. For example, some bacteria promote moss growth through the production of the plant growth hormone auxin using specific enzymes in plant tissues.As the moss and its associated microbes grow and expand, they can penetrate small cracks or pores in the concrete, potentially widening them and exposing more surface area to weathering processes. This can be accelerated by certain bacteria and fungi that produce organic acids as metabolic byproducts. These acids can slowly dissolve or weaken calcium carbonate and other minerals found in concrete.The biogeochemistry contributing to rock weathering and sediment formation reveals the intricate connections between biological processes and geological phenomena. At massive space and time scales they can not only affect the meteorological conditions above ground, but also the layers of sediment below ground.In a recent New York Times piece, Ferris Jabr, author of “Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life” reveals how“Within the forest floor [of the Amazon rainforest], vast symbiotic networks of plant roots and filamentous fungi pull water from the soil into trunks, stems and leaves. As the nearly 400 billion trees in the Amazon drink their fill, they release excess moisture, saturating the air with 20 billion tons of water vapor each day. At the same time, plants of all kinds secrete salts and emit bouquets of pungent gaseous compounds. Mushrooms, dainty as paper parasols or squat as door­ knobs, exhale plumes of spores. The wind sweeps bacteria, pollen grains and bits of leaves and bark into the atmosphere. The wet breath of the forest — peppered with microscopic life and organic residues — creates conditions that are highly conducive to rain. With so much water vapor in the air and so many minute particles on which the water can condense, clouds quickly form. In a typical year, the Amazon generates around half of its own rainfall.”Below ground, he describes work by Earth scientist Robert Hazen and colleagues.“When Earth was young, microbes inhabiting the ocean crust were likely dissolving the basalt with acids and enzymes in order to obtain energy and nutrients, producing wet clay minerals. By lubricating the crust with those wet byproducts, the microbes may have accelerated the dissolution of both mantle and crust and their eventual transfiguration into new land. The geophysicists Dennis Höning and Tilman Spohn have published similar ideas.They point out that water trapped in subducting sediments escapes first, whereas water in the crust is typically expelled at greater depths. The thicker the sedimentary layer covering the crust, the more water makes it into the deep mantle, which ultimately enhances the production of granite.In Earth's earliest eons, micro-organisms and, later, fungi and plants dissolved and degraded rock at a rate much greater than what geological processes could accomplish on their own.In doing so, they would have increased the amount of sediment deposited in deep ocean trenches, thereby cloaking subducting plates of ocean crust in thicker protective layers, flushing more water into the mantle and ultimately contributing to the creation of new land.”LOVELOCKS LIVING LOOPSThis kind of Earth System Science has been given a name by one of first contributors, James Lovelock — geophysiology. Lovelock describes geophysiology as a systems approach to Earth sciences, viewing Earth as a self-regulating entity where biological, chemical, and physical processes interact to maintain conditions suitable for life. It integrates various scientific disciplines to understand and predict the behavior of Earth's systems, aiming to diagnose and prevent environmental issues by considering the planet as a cohesive, self-regulating system.This concept, rooted in Lovelock's initial Gaia hypothesis, emphasizes the feedback mechanisms that stabilize Earth's environment, akin to physiological processes in living organisms. Gaia is named after the primordial Greek goddess who personifies the Earth. This naming occurred in the context of Lovelock developing his ideas about Earth as a self-regulating system in the 1960s and early 1970s.Lovelock had been working on methods to detect life on Mars at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which led him to consider how life might be detected on a planetary scale. This work eventually evolved into his hypothesis about Earth functioning as a complex, self-regulating system maintained by the community of living organisms.As Lovelock was formulating these ideas, he was looking for a suitable name for his hypothesis. It was during this time that William Golding, Lovelock's neighbor and renowned author of "Lord of the Flies", suggested using the name "Gaia".In Greek mythology, Gaia is considered the ancestral mother of all life and one of the first beings to emerge from earliest chaotic stages of Earth's formation. She is often depicted as a maternal, nurturing figure who gave birth to the Titans, the Cyclopes, and other primordial deities. Gaia is associated with fertility, the earth's abundance, and the cycle of life and death.In ancient Greek religion, Gaia was worshipped as the Great Mother and was sometimes referred to as "Mother Earth." That title, and her influence, extends beyond Greek mythology, perpetuating the concept of Earth as a living, nurturing entity — a concept that has resonated in various cultures for Millenia.Elements of the Greek notion of Gaia likely have roots in earlier Middle Eastern knowledge.  Several ancient cultures had earth goddesses that predate or are contemporaneous with the Greek Gaia. For instance, in Mesopotamia, Sumerian mythology offers Ki is the earth goddess, and in Akkadian mythology, there is Ninhursag.It turns out “Mother Earth” birthed similar concepts all around her. Egypt had Isis, Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) had Cybele, India's Hinduism had Parvati and Durga, Pre-Columbian American cultures featured Pachamama, Celtic cultures had Danu and Brigid, while Norse mythology features Frigg and Freyja.In 1960's and 70's America, “Mother Nature” and “Gaia” emerged among some environmentalists as New Age mystical beliefs associated with alternative spiritualities. Lovelock's decision to use the word “Gaia” thus made him and his ideas a target among many Western trained scientists and his Earth system concepts endured harsh criticisms.It's worth mentioning that when Alexander Humboldt put forth similar ideas in his book "Cosmos" (first published in 1845), taking a holistic view of nature, exploring connections between various Earth systems and life forms, he was heralded as the greatest scientist of his time. Even Charles Darwin took a copy of Cosmos with him on his famous Beagle voyage. Humboldt, like Lovelock, uniquely and successfully integrated knowledge from diverse fields like astronomy, geology, biology, meteorology, and even art and literature.But the specialization, reductionism, and quantification of dominant Western science distanced itself from these holistic approaches viewing them as too spiritual and outdated. By the twentieth century, the growing New Age interpretation of Gaia often personified the Earth as a conscious, living entity, drawing on both Lovelock's scientific hypothesis and ancient mythological concepts. Many modern religions and philosophical concepts about the origin of life still incorporate anthropomorphic elements, such as the idea of a creator with human-like qualities or intentions.These mainstream images can lead to engrained tendencies to see humans and other living organisms as being born:* into a world as separate entities from the world they inhabit* onto a physical plane as a separate, tangible reality* unto which they individually acquire and consume energy to live and grow.This perspective sees living beings as somewhat separate from their environment, rather than as integral parts of a larger system. It's a view consistent with traditional Western science that emphasizes reductionist approaches, breaking systems down into component parts. But it contrasts with more holistic perspectives, such as those found in ecological theories like Geophysiology, other branches of Earth System Science, or Traditional Ecological Knowledge which see earth's components, including humans, as inseparable parts of their environments.This was confirmed at the 2001 Amsterdam Declaration, signed by the Chairs of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP), International Human Dimensions Program (IHDP), World Climate Research Program (WCRP) and DIVERSITAS at the 2001 ‘Challenges of a Changing Earth' conference. The declaration concluded:“The Earth System behaves as a single, self-regulating system comprised of physical, chemical, biological and human components, with complex interactions and feedbacks between the component parts.”Integrative Western scientists have now amassed enough data to recognize that living matter is born:* into a living, interconnected Earth system,* onto a dynamic web of relationships,* unto which we belong as integral participants, exchanging energy and matter in a continuous cycle of life and growth.In this view, my moss colonies and their microbial companions emerge as vital threads, weaving together the living and non-living elements of our planet. These intricate communities, from the tiniest bacteria to the visible expanse of moss, exemplify the self-regulating nature of Earth's systems that Lovelock envisioned.As they slowly transform concrete through their metabolic processes, they participate in the larger process of biogeochemical cycling. They influence not only my cinderblock walls and concrete surfaces, but they also contribute to the broader patterns of weathering, sedimentation, and even microclimate regulation.This interplay between the microscopic and the global, the biological and the geological, embodies the essence of Humboldt's and Lovelock's theory — a planet alive with interconnected processes, where every organism, no matter how small, plays a role in maintaining the delicate balance of life.In this living system, my moss and its microbiome, like me and the symbiotic communities of microorganisms in me and on me, are not mere passive inhabitants, but active agents in the ongoing story of Earth's evolution. Together we demonstrate the profound interconnectedness that defines our planet's unique capacity for self-regulation and adaptation.Now where's my pressure washer? This is a public episode.

Then, she goes to the park and finds her long dead mom alive and well. It turns out her mom didn't die but was travelling the universe with the Greek god Zeus.  If her mom's boyfriend is Zeus, then who is her mom?  Zoe's not sure if her mom was kidnapped or if she abandoned her.  Her mom has returned to whisk Zoe away in Zeus's space ship because the earth is falling apart and will soon be uninhabitable.

Welcome to the In Other News podcast at dailynewscollective.com. The poor man's Drudge Report, anti propaganda, and everyday media sponge tool. Providing breaking news and the news (from actual sources,  research, and statistics) the establishment narrative doesn't want the average citizen to devour. Speaking of establishment narratives. The narrative surrounding the 20 or so holdouts refusing to vote McCarthy in as speaker is becoming increasingly more intense. Apparently Dan Crenshaw, in a Cyclopian effort, is clawing to be the chair on the Department of Homeland Security. Word on the street is that most Americans despise Crenshaw and hope someone pokes him in his other eye. ‘What fools you are, you strangers, or else you come from far away— telling me to fear the gods and shun their rage. The Cyclopes care nothing about Zeus, who bears the aegis, or the blessed gods. We are much more powerful than them. I wouldn't spare you or your comrades to escape the wrath of Zeus, not unless my own heart prompted me to do it. But now, tell me this—when you landed here, where did you moor your ship, a spot close by or further off? I'd like to know that.' “He said this to throw me off, but his deceit could never fool me. I was too clever. And so I gave him a cunning answer: ‘Earthshaker Poseidon broke my ship apart— driving it against the border of your island, on the rocks there. He brought us close to land, hard by the headland, then winds pushed us inshore from the sea. But we escaped— me and these men here. We weren't destroyed.' -Homer: The Odyssey Book 9 The Cyclops If people realized the gravity of the fleeting opportunity we have to put someone in as speaker other than Mcarthy to plug a hole in the dyke that will eventually burst. Flooding America with a totalitarianism the world has never seen. They would beg their congressmen…Republican, Independent, Democrat or Otherwise to vote for that candidate. The Speaker of the house is a soiled chair. A disgusting hallucinatory stained piece of abused furniture. Where Speakers gleefully tear up the speech of the President of The United States behind his back on National Propagandavision… I know… But in our world. That is completely normal. Dennis Hastert… convicted child molester. Tom Delay, indicted on criminal charges of conspiracy to violate election law by campaign money laundering. Paul Ryan and John Boehner, both lobbyist sycophants showering Congress with donations from the tobacco, marijuana, and Ibogaine lobbys. While Nancy Pelosi, who's father aided the Baltimore mafia, made millions off the stock market with shady insider deals with the aid of her "party don't stop round here for nobody….shiiiiii" husband. In fact most people enter congress as relative paupers and leave as multimillionaires. They are all protecting the real government. The unelected Corporotocacy that does whatever the hell it wants. How deep does the money pit go? Deep…Not to just the Fat Cat's supplying Washington D.C., "The District of Criminals" with a rigged system Marxed out by by unjust laws and policies. Not just to please their "Familiars" prancing around Wall Street like a bunch of money grubbin' bozos. Who, as the world would have it, are ultimately no different than the mentally ill drug addled homeless clogging their limo routes. Who now live a life of hobo luxury off of the Neo FDResque Democratic daydream. The ties between Washington D.C., the Epstein Universe of Wall Street, the Hollywood propaganda factory,

In this episode, Dinesh and Debbie discuss the relentless pursuit of Trump, Venezuelans in Martha's Vineyard, and whether digital platforms can save the censorship policies by appealing to the Supreme Court.  Dinesh considers a new study of the GOP and explains why the dismay of the Left should be cause for a little self-satisfaction on the Right. Dinesh continues his narrative of Odysseus in the lands of the Cyclopes, giants, and a sorceress named Circe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Derek Olson of Megalithic Marvels takes you on an audible journey back in time in search of the legendary Cyclops. Was Cyclops a literal one-eyed ancient hybrid giant or a symbol of the lost knowledge the megalithic builders once possessed in ages past? Greek writers like Pausanias mention that the megalithic walls of Europe were erected by a one-eyed giant race who worked in the god's forges under Mount Etna near Sicily. This legend is still preserved today with a term archaeologists use to describe this architecture: cyclopean, from the word cyclops. Cyclopean construction consists of massive polygonal blocks that interlock together without mortar, designed to be earth quake proof. In Greek mythology, the Cyclopes were the giant one eyed sons of the gods & considered the master masons of the golden age. Homer's “Odyssey” features the cyclops Polyphemus who is described as “godlike & towering over all the Cyclops' clans in power”. Polyphemus was the offspring of Poseidon & a woman named Thoosa, thus making him a demi-god. This mirrors the Gen 6:4 account of the Watchers breeding with earth women to produce the giant Nephilim.

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/

Welcome to Prophecy Radio, a Percy Jackson podcast dedicated to all of Rick Riordan's past, present, and future projects! Co-hosts Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz discuss the latest news in the Percy Jackson/Rick Riordan Presents fandom, then return with their second Monster Guide—this time on the infamous Minotaur, as well as analyze chapters 19 and 20 of Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters, wrapping up their reread of the book. New episodes of Prophecy Radio will air weekly, and all ages are welcome to tune in. News and Updates (00:01:24) Kristen is full of strange noises. Remember, when there are official PJOTV social media pages, Rick and Becky will tell us. Victo Ngai has been sharing their progress sketches for the new Percy Jackson and the Olympians covers. They would make fantastic phone backgrounds! If you're looking for some good YA retellings of Greek mythology, check out these suggestions from Book Riot. Let's dive into the February 23 blog update! Karen doesn't want to get anyone's hopes up for major news, but it's exciting nonetheless. Rick and Becky went on a trip to L.A. and Vancouver! Okay, in-person chemistry reads are kind of a big deal. We're getting close! Rick must have gotten VERY good at multi-tasking over the years. Vancouver looks amazing, and we want to go. Even pictures of a concrete floor are exciting. Maybe it's time to go back through the Lightning Thief illustrated edition. Maybe this will inspire a Sea of Monsters illustrated edition in time for season 2? We get a live reaction of Kristen discovering Dan Hennah from Lord of the Rings is working on the show. Oh, yeah, this is a Disney show. Shout-out to the true MVP, Chili Dog. Filming is set to begin in THREE MONTHS. Monster Guide: The Minotaur (00:25:41) We're quite familiar with the Minotaur since we just read about him in Lightning Thief. Did you know the Minotaur had a human name? Most versions of the Minotaur don't match the description we get from Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes and that might be for the best. Are we old? Does Gen Z know about Wishbone? There are a lot of things wrong with the myth of the Minotaur, not least of which is the girl on girl crime. Why did Daedalus get involved in all of this? Did this myth inspire The Hunger Games? Instalove for the win! No, really, it saved Theseus' life. Do we feel bad for the Minotaur? How many times does the Minotaur show up in Percy Jackson and the Olympians? It's interesting how the Minotaur and Percy have a common thread in Poseidon. Do you like these Monster Guides? We're having a lot of fun doing them. Chapter Reviews (00:44:45) We're finishing up Sea of Monsters this week, starting with chapter 19. Kristen's recaps are not so brief. So, the Golden Fleece works. What kind of monster would be good at guarding the Fleece? Are Clarisse and Percy…friends? We're trying not to make Harry Potter references every week. And failing. What's going on with Percy's address? We can be disappointed in Poseidon if we want to! Is a letter really the best way for Poseidon to communicate with his son? We finally learn about Tyson's childhood. Both Annabeth and Percy went on a journey with their feelings about Cyclopes. Fictional characters should be able to make mistakes and be flawed. Tyson really is the best. Okay, let's do this! Sea of Monsters chapter 20. Grover is really sticking it to the Council. Thank the gods for Sally. She really is the best mom. Everyone loves Tyson, and therefore, everything is right in the world. Once again, grateful we read “The Diary of Luke Castellan” recently. Prophecy Count: 12 Chiron totally left Grover in the dust. How much did Luke know about the plan to bring Thalia back? The back of Karen's copy of Sea of Monsters is a walk down memory lane—for better or worse! Thanks for listening, and be sure to tune in next time for episode 22, where we'll review the Sea of Monsters movie. This episode's hosts are: Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz. Each episode, our Prophecy Radio hosts and their guests will keep you up to date on the latest information coming out of Camp Half-Blood, including upcoming books and adaptation news, discuss a topic of choice, and do a chapter by chapter reread of the Percy Jackson series.

... Welcome to Episode 22, SATYRS & A CYCLOPES You've probably heard of satyrs, but not thought beyond their strange appearance. They are the combination of 4 or 5 animals, including humans. The big difference between satyrs and humans, though, is in their approach toward life.  In this episode, satyrs collide with a one-eyed giant called a cyclopes--as well as encountering Greece's wily warrior, Odysseus. “Drink, dance & be merry” was the satyrs' motto. No wonder moralists like the ancient writer Hesiod considered them worthless. This episode is narrated by mythologist and best-selling author, Patrick Garner. His Garner's Greek Mythology is unlike any other Greek history series. Here the Greek gods are viewed as if they were anything but mythical...If you love these podcasts, you'll also enjoy new stories about the gods in Garner's novel Homo Divinitas, now available as an audio book on Amazon.com and Audible.com.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/garnersgreekmythology)

Liv reads Book IX of Homer's Odyssey, translated into prose by Samuel Butler. Odysseus tells the story of he and his men arriving on the island of the Cyclopes.This is not a standard narrative story episode, it's simply a bonus reading of Homer.
