Sometimes moving forward means being willing to start over.In this episode of The Alchemist Inkwell, we finally sit down with the legendary Malcolm — the guide behind some of our most unforgettable trips to Greece — to talk about travel, intuition, starting over, chosen family, and what happens when you trust the path even when you have absolutely no idea where it's taking you.After years of guiding travelers, Malcolm is beginning a completely new chapter of his own life: trading tour buses for boats and working toward becoming a captain in Greece.We talk about why starting from the bottom again doesn't mean you're moving backward, how travel can completely change the trajectory of your life, why strangers can become family in a matter of days, the unexpected moments that transform us, trusting your gut when there's no obvious “right” decision, and why sometimes the bigger mistake is never taking the chance at all.Plus: people accidentally left behind on buses and ferries, the strange energy of Delos and Renea, Malcolm's dream of sailing around with a rescue dog and cat, and the origin of one of our favorite travel sayings:“You come as strangers and you leave as family.” FOLLOW MALCOLMInstagram: @mac_and_grCHAPTERS00:00 Sometimes you have to start over00:20 Meet the legendary Malcolm04:47 Malcolm's new life in Mykonos05:44 Why starting over isn't moving backward08:47 Scared to travel?

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.

Spadoni and Lubman talk with Justice delos Santos, Giants insider for the Bay Area News Group, as the Giants approach the trade deadline.
En este episodio nos acompaña Daniela Parra, sobreviviente de un brutal ataque que cambió su vida para siempre. Con enorme valentía, nos comparte por primera vez en nuestro espacio la historia completa: cómo conoció a Kevin, cómo una relación que parecía normal fue transformándose poco a poco hasta convertirse en un entorno de violencia y control, y los hechos ocurridos el día en que estuvo a punto de perder la vida. Daniela relata, con detalle, el momento en que fue atacada y sufrió una herida que comprometió cerca del 80% de su vena yugular. Contra todo pronóstico, logró defenderse dándole una patada a su agresor, escapar y salir a pedir ayuda. Esa decisión, tomada en cuestión de segundos, fue determinante para que pudiera sobrevivir. Hoy, su historia es considerada por muchos como un verdadero milagro. También nos acompaña su asesor jurídico, quien explica el estado actual del proceso legal y la lucha que mantienen para que el caso sea reclasificado como tentativa de feminicidio, al considerar que los hechos y las pruebas corresponden a ese delito, y no únicamente al de lesiones. Esta conversación busca dar voz a una sobreviviente, comprender las señales que pueden presentarse en una relación violenta y conocer los retos que enfrentan las víctimas en la búsqueda de justicia. Un episodio que invita a la reflexión sobre la violencia de género, la resiliencia y la importancia de no dejar de exigir verdad y justicia.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the origins and evolution of an alliance which transformed the geopolitics of the classical world: the Delian League. Since the start of the 5th Century BCE, city states across Greece had been fighting a series of armed conflicts in the Greco-Persian Wars. After the defeat of a second Persian invasion in 478 BCE, a league of cities across Greece came together and formed a new alliance led by Athens. That alliance is now known as the Delian League, after the island of Delos where it was established. In the following decades, Athens used the Delian League to grow its own wealth and formidable naval power. Cities which tried to leave the alliance found themselves violently put down and their lands confiscated by the Athenians. What had begun as a cooperative alliance sworn to resist the Persian Empire gradually started to seem like it may have created another imperial power: the Athenian Empire.WithLeah Lazar Lecturer in Hellenistic Culture at the University of ManchesterPolly Low Professor in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of DurhamAndPaul Cartledge AG Leventis Senior Research Fellow of Clare College, University of CambridgeProducer: Martha OwenAristophanes (trans.

Homeros epos Iliaden och Odysséen får ständigt nya läsare, men också nya tolkningar. Anna Blennow konstaterar att behovet av antikens klassiker är stort, men att analyserna säger mest om vår tid. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2017-10-18.”Vreden, gudinna, besjung som brann hos Peliden Achillevs.” Så inleds det grekiska diktverket Iliaden, i Ingvar Björkesons översättning. Teorierna om hur det egentligen tillkom, när det tecknades ned, och vem dess författare egentligen var, har diskuterats från antiken och fram till våra dagar. Oavsett svaren på dessa frågor är Iliaden och Odysséen, de två epos som tillskrivs en person vid namn Homeros, grunden i västerlandets litteraturhistoria. Med ett ben i mytiska hjälteberättelser och gudasagor, och det andra i en möjlig historisk kontext på platsen där staden Troja grävts ut, återger dessa dikter berättelsen om det trojanska kriget och om dess följder för den kringirrande Odysseus.Vad kan de grekiska myterna berätta för oss? Liknade antikens Grekland vår värld, eller inte? Dessa frågor dyker ständigt upp i vår samtid, eftersom samtalet med och om den antika grekiska litteraturen oavbrutet pågår. Och behovet tycks sällan ha varit så stort som nu. Den New York-baserade författaren Daniel Mendelsohn utkom precis med boken ”An Odyssey – a Father, a Son, and an Epic”, där han reser i Odysseus kölvatten med sin far. En annan ny bok, ”Enraged – Why Violent Times Need Ancient Greek Myths” av Emily Katz Anhalt, professor i klassiska språk, lyfter fram att de antika myterna lär oss att vi får betala dyrt om vi ger efter för vrede och våld. Anhalt menar att Iliaden inte är en oproblematisk hjältesaga, utan att den istället ifrågasätter huvudpersonernas blodiga kamp och dess följder för samhället: vreden hos Akilles, grekernas främste krigare, kom att skänka sorg och död åt såväl greker som trojaner. Homeros visar att även fienden är mänsklig.Författare, forskare och journalister återvänder ständigt till de grekiska myterna för att bearbeta och förklara företeelser i vår egen tid. Så gör även Tomas Lappalainen i sin bok ”Världens första medborgare”, där han vill förklara uppkomsten av det demokratiska samhället i antikens Grekland genom att dra paralleller mellan de homeriska berättelsernas våldskultur och dagens syditalienska maffiavärld. Lappalainen, som tidigare skrivit initierade böcker om Syditaliens 'ndrangheta och camorra, hävdar att det samhälle som skymtar fram i de homeriska verken har stora likheter med maffians strukturer, eftersom intrigerna ofta behandlar teman som hämnd, beskydd och heder. Han låter sedan detta resonemang bli en förklaringsmodell till hur demokratin uppstod i Grekland som en konsekvens av att man helt enkelt var tvungen att stävja de våldsamma maktstrukturerna politiskt.Lappalainen är inte den förste som läser Iliaden och Odysséen i en civilisationshistorisk kontext. I förordet till den senaste utgåvan av Erland Lagerlöfs sekelgamla svenska översättning av Odysséen skriver akademiledamoten Jesper Svenbro att vendettan, den som driver Iliadens hela berättelse om det trojanska kriget, kommer till en slutpunkt i Odysséen. När Odysseus till sist, på Athenas inrådan, avstår från våld mot dem som söker hämnd på honom, symboliserar han övergången från individuella maktstrider till den politiska stadsstaten. Men är då de homeriska huvudpersonerna, som Lappalainen menar, i själva verket ett slags konkurrerande maffiabossar, som tar blodig hämnd på varandra och samtidigt utövar beskyddarverksamhet mot sina undersåtar? Kan man jämföra eposets arkaiska skildring med en nutida, kriminell subkultur?Den var en religiös plikt som ansågs inrättad av gudarna och som inkluderade även den fattige och främmande.I boken beskriver Lappalainen till exempel hur xenía, den grekiska gästvänskapen, utgör ett förbund mellan mäktiga ätter som skulle kunna liknas vid maffiaklanernas relationer. Men xenía är mycket mer än så. Framför allt Odysséen, berättelsen om en man som i tjugo år reser runt som en främling långt hemifrån, visar på ett långt mer komplext förhållande. När Odysseus son Telemachos i bokens inledning reser för att söka efter sin far, kommer han först till kung Nestor i Pylos. ”Alla skyndade till när de såg dessa främlingar nalkas, hälsade dem med handslag varmt och bjöd dem att sitta.” Hos Menelaos i Sparta sker detsamma. ”Vilka ni är kan vi fråga om när ni njutit av maten”. När Odysseus, skeppsbruten, sköljs upp på fajakernas strand, hittas han av kungadottern Nausikaa. Hon välkomnar den utmattade, halvnakne, smutsige främlingen med orden: ”Eftersom du nu har anlänt hit till vår stad och vårt rike, skall inga kläder saknas dig eller någonting annat av det en nödställd har rätt att få när han vädjar om misskund.” Gästvänskapen var inte ett exkluderande förbund mellan mäktiga. Den var en religiös plikt som ansågs inrättad av gudarna och som inkluderade även den fattige och främmande.Akilles var son till en gudinna, och därför var hans vrede större än vad det mänskliga förståndet kan omfatta.Iliaden och Odysséen handlar också till stor del om människornas relation till gudarna, och hur gudarna ständigt griper in såväl hämnande som stödjande. Samtidigt är gudarna inte allsmäktiga. De lyder precis som människorna under ödets lagar. Och de homeriska verkens fokus är inte huvudsakligen på de odödliga, utan på de dödliga. Det första ordet i Odysséen är ándra,”man” (i svensk översättning ”Musa, berätta om mannen…”). Sture Linnér, som skrev inledningen till Ingvar Björkesons översättning av Iliaden, pekade på hur kärnan i dikterna inte är krigets fasor, utan medlidande och mänsklighet. Detta har skänkt verken den relevans de fortfarande har idag. Samtidigt måste vi se att det ofta är saga och myt, inte samhällsfakta, som de förmedlar. Ordet för vrede i Iliadens inledning, ménis, betecknar ett gudomligt snarare än ett mänskligt raseri. Akilles var son till en gudinna, och därför var hans vrede större än vad det mänskliga förståndet kan omfatta.”Vreden, gudinna, besjung”. Lever vi återigen i vredens tidsålder? Lappalainens läsning av de antika texterna genom ett samtidsraster är symptomatisk för vår tids sätt att hantera en värld där demokratin ifrågasätts och raseriet råder. Och vårt behov av de grekiska dramerna och dikterna grundar sig just i att de ständigt kan omtolkas och återanvändas. Men de episka myterna om hjältar och krig kan inte läsas som historiska sanningar, och att förklara dem genom nutida samhällsföreteelser låter sig inte heller göras. Istället är de tidlösa verktyg för konflikthantering, sorgebearbetning och försoning. Inom det amerikanska projektet ”Theatre of War” har soldater som återvänt från militärtjänst fått ta del av grekiska tragedier som posttraumatisk stresshantering. 2016, mitt under den brännande flyktingkrisen kring Medelhavet, sattes Euripides pjäs ”Hekuba” upp i den antika teatern på ön Delos i Grekland. Hekuba, drottning i Troja, förlorar sin man och sina barn i kriget, och som krigsfånge i Grekland får hon se sin son spolas upp död på stranden.Varje tid har sina krig och sin vrede. Knappt har vi glömt dem förrän nya tider skapar nya katastrofer. Vilka hav seglar vi på idag? Vem kommer hem? Samtidens bruk av de antika grekiska texterna säger oss långt mer om vårt eget samhälle än om antikens verklighet.Anna Blennow, latinforskare och skribentLitteraturTomas Lappalainen: Världens första medborgare – Om statens uppkomst i det antika Grekland.

En Afrique du Sud, une vague de violences xénophobes tournée principalement vers les immigrés clandestins subsahariens déferle depuis plusieurs semaines. La journée d'hier a été le point d'orgue d'une campagne lancée par des groupes qui se disent citoyens, dont le discours a déjà provoqué la mort de quatre personnes et qui a suscité l'exil forcé de 25 000 autres. Est-ce à dire que l'arc-en-ciel sud-africain a perdu de ses couleurs 35 ans après la fin de l'apartheid ?

A Wolf's Journey—Inside Fair Chase With Travis Mulhauser When a wolf appears in Michigan's lower peninsula, his long journey becomes a juxtaposition of hope and inspiration along with fear and misunderstanding. One of the first humans to see the wolf is teenager, Delos Harris. Delos' life has also been one of fear and misunderstanding as he is shuffled in and out of foster care and serves a stint in the local juvenile detention center. The wolf's appearance spurs Delos into action to save the animal, and himself, by approaching the Sawbrook family with a secret Delos has kept for years. Together, the Sawbrook siblings and Delos fight against the stigmas of wolves and try to save the animal from a local poacher. I enjoyed chatting with Mulhauser about his research, the inspiration behind the book and even an old hockey rivalry. Fair Chase is a story of suspense, bravery and fighting for your beliefs.

Sa pinakabagong episode ng The Linya-Linya Show, nakasama natin ang dalawang award-winning writers at guro—Prof. Joselito Delos Reyes at Jerry Gracio—para sa isang masayang pero makabuluhang kwentuhan.Pinag-usapan namin ang mga recent na balita sa pulitika, ang mga aral na dapat sana'y natutuhan sa mga huling kampanya, at ang halaga ng pag-uusap-usap ng iba't ibang mga grupo at kampo, upang maipanalo ang mga nais nating mamuno sa bansa. Syempre, natalakay din natin kung paano nagbabago ang paraan ng pagsusulat—mula sa tradisyunal na panitikan hanggang sa social media. Napagkwentuhan din ang creative writing, ang papel ng manunulat sa lipunan, at syempre, ang hypothetical campaign strategy kung sakaling tumakbo na nga sa pulitika si Sir Jerry Gracio (haha!).Isang usapan na may talas, may tawa, at may lalim—para sa mga naniniwala na ang salita ay may bigat, at ang panitikan ay may pakialam.Listen up, yo!
