Welcome to season five of The Nietzsche Podcast! First of all, a warm thank you to all of my listeners and patrons who have helped to make this show such a phenomenal success. For our first episode in this new collection of episodes, we're diving headfirst into the Oedipus plays of Sophocles: Oedipus Rex & Oedipus at Colonus. Sophocles triumphed with the best tragedy at the Dionysia more than any other playwright, and Aristotle named Oedipus Rex the model tragedy. We will fully explore the tragic downfall of Oedipus, his redemptive last days at Colonus, and Friedrich Nietzsche's interpretation of the significance of Oedipus in Birth of Tragedy.

I read from dinucleotide to dioptric.     A Diode is used in electrical thingies.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode     It looks like many stories have been written about Diomedes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diomedes     If I understand the basics, a Diopter is a unit of thickness of a lens that determines how far away from the lens the light focuses.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioptre     The word of the episode is "Dionysus". Wow!

The Greek god Dionysus is a popular figure that has captivated people for centuries. He is popularly known as the god of wine and wild parties, but he is so much more than that! In this episode, we discuss his origins, his family, and one of his myths. There are many festivals honoring Dionysus as well. We talk about some of his more popular festivals: Dionysia, Anthesteria, Bacchanalia, and the Mysteries. Some of these festivals have sordid histories, but all promise a wild time with food, drinks, and of course—partying. We share correspondences and give you some ideas to celebrate and honor Dionysus. There's also an invocation for Dionysus and a simple spell that will help you overcome anxiety.

'This Saint, who was from Melitine in Armenia, was the son of pious parents named Paul and Dionysia. He was born about 377. Since his mother had been barren, he was named Euthymius which means "good cheer" or "joy" for this is what his parents experienced at his birth. He studied under Eutroius, the Bishop of Melitene, by whom he was ordained and entrusted with the care of the monasteries of Melitene. Then, after he had come to Palestine about the year 406, he became the leader of a multitude of monks. Through him, a great tribe of Arabs was turned to piety, when he healed the ailing son of their leader Aspebetos. Aspebetos was baptized with all his people; he took the Christian name of Peter, and was later consecrated Bishop for his tribe, being called the "Bishop of the Tents." Saint Euthymius also fought against the Nestorians, Eutychians, and Manichaeans. When Eudocia, the widow of Saint Theodosius the Younger, had made her dwelling in Palestine, and had fallen into the heresy of the Monophysites which was championed in Palestine by a certain Theodosius, she sent envoys to Saint Symeon the Stylite in Syria (see Sept.1), asking him his opinion of Eutyches and the Council of Chalcedon which had condemned him; Saint Symeon, praising the holiness and Orthodoxy of Saint Euthymius near whom she dwelt, sent her to him to be delivered from her error (the holy Empress Eudocia is commemorated Aug. 13). He became the divine oracle of the Church, or rather, "the vessel of divine utterance," as a certain historian writes. He was the instructor and elder of Saint Sabbas the Sanctified. Having lived for ninety-six years, he reposed in 473, on January 20.' (Great Horologion)

This podcast is a discussion of the arts, music, and the world of theater. Bonus material is provided with a discussion of Milman Parry, the American scholar of epic poetry, and KLEOS, the ancient concept of eternal fame. What is this poem. Once upon a time there was a poem that told about a war between the Frogs and the Mice. Someone in ancient antiquity decided to tell a tall tail (ha, you don't know how long I've been waiting to use that) tale about a war that took place between frogs and mice in the pond. Batrachomyomachia is how you say it in Greek. Can you say Batrachomyomachia? I had to practice. BA-TRA-CHO-MY-O-MACH-I-A Who wrote it? Some say Homer. Some accounts say that Alexander the Great even mentioned the poem. Pigres of Halicarnassus? Take your pick. This poem has been translated through centuries. It has recently regained interest on this side of the new millennia. Don't think Saturday Morning TV. It reads like a Greek Epic, narrated through Homeric passages with plenty of gore. Animals acting like humans, is a device well-known to any writer. The Battle of the Frogs and Mice was not originally intended as children's entertainment - WHEN FIRST SPOKEN BY THE WANDERING RHAPSODOI, as their audience leaned on the couches or sat cross-legged by the fire. Each listener in those times must have heard a tale or two of the mouse removing the thorn from the lion's paw, or the story of the tortoise and the hare. Imagine hearing these familiar tales for the first time. This was 'man on the street' philosophy. This is called ANTHROPOMORPHISM, human psychology at its best – see ourselves through others. Great thoughts, made digestible when presented at a distance by frogs and mice in some land off yonder – even if it’s the pond -in ONCE UPON A TIME. Animals have appeared in prose, poetry and history by writers such as Homer, Aexop, Herodotus, Lucretius, Oppian, Ovid, Diodorus Siculus and Dio Cassius. This plot device is done today in such works as: Watership Down, The Rats of Nimh, and Animal Farm – all are examples of the art. In "Don't kill the Storyteller" the participants have been paired with epithets to denote characteristics much like the fleet-foot Achilles. They chose their own epithet, which denotes an interesting psychological angle to this show. What would you choose? In the ancient poem, the army of mice brandish names such as Grain plunderer, Bread eater, licker of meal, Cheese scooper, and Bacon tooth, and on the other side of the battle-line the frogs sport names like Puff Jaw, Mud legs, loud brawler, cabbage eater, water lover, and CROACK-SPITTLE. Of course, many of these name are the result of translation. Here is the plot of the play. Names and plotline can change with different sources: The mouse prigcheese stops on the shore of a pond, to slack his thirst. The queen Chubbycheek, the Queen of the frogs offers the tired mouse a ride on its back. Under the law of Hospitality the frog offers the mouse all manner of food and drink, including a ride on her back across the pond. A water snake raise its ugly head and Chubbycheek dives below the waves to escape the creature. Prigcheese drowns. A mouse witnesses the horrifying event, and a war counsel is held. NIbbleloaf the father of the victim, demands revenge, and war is declared against the frogs. The herald Lickpot is charged with entering enemy territory to declare war on the frogs. Every good old time war starts with a herald declaring the injustices and the justifications for slaughter. The battle takes place. The telling in graphic detail. The frogs loose, but loose gloriously, and the Gods intercede. The Gods send the crabs and both sides retreat. A war concluded in a day. Of course its all who is telling the tale. Maybe the mice and frogs join forces and rout the evil snakes from the pond.

Today's episode is all about how your customers should be at the forefront of what you're doing. It doesn't matter if it's for your marketing, your product development or your company in general. Putting your customer at the heart of everything you do always pays dividends. Dionysia McPherson, from PaperForm, and her husband, Dean, know how important this is. In fact, Dionysia has spent many hours, days and weeks, running 1-2-1 sessions with their clients just to make sure she really understands them. This isn't just as simple as checking the support tickets, although she does believe that all their employees should spend some time on customer support (to really understand who they're working for in the first place). She's even had to wake up in the middle of the night, just to take 1-2-1 calls to better understand her customers on the other side of the planet. Now, that's dedication. What can you learn from this? Simple! It's all about getting to know, and understanding, your customers intimately. I hope you all stay safe.Enjoy!A huge thank you to Campaign Refinery for sponsoring this episode.

今天为大家介绍的这本书是意大利传奇的思想家、作家，他叫做Giacomo Leopardi。他是1798年出生到1837年，39岁就去世。他留下的重要的著作，在意大利文的文学跟哲学里面，叫做《Operette morali》。那我们现在所看到的这本书，是从这本《Operette morali》里面选出了二十篇，把它编成了中文，叫做《时尚与死亡的对话》。 其中有一篇比较特别，不是对话的文章，是对于鸟儿的歌颂。他想象、创作了一个角色Amelius，寂寞的哲学家听到鸟叫声，他开始发展他的想法跟他的感受，他说：“据说鸟儿在跟我们相处，而不是跟野蛮未开化的人群同在的时候，它的嗓音会更加地柔和甜美，曲调会更加地精致。当然，可能的一种理由是，因为跟文明人在一起的时候，鸟儿不用那么样地提防，不用那么样地担心。 “那对于Amelius来说，他推出来的这个想象是，鸟儿或许会受到身处的文明影响。不管这个话是真，或者是假。鸟，既会歌唱又会飞翔，这仍然是自然意志的一种明确体现。如此一来，鸟的歌声就能够从崇高之境——指的是天上很高的地方——传播到更广大的听众的耳朵里，自然的意志也叫空气，这声音的元素当中，能够有唱出旋律的生物，居住在其间。 写到这里，讲到这里，接下来，Amelius，他的笔跟他的想法突然一转，转到对于人之所以会笑，还有我们究竟笑代表什么样的意义，跟人有笑的历史这件事情了。 他说：“鸟叫声，对我们还有所有的动物而言，是莫大的宽慰，还有喜悦。我相信这并非取决于声音本身的甜美，也不是因为当中有很多的变化跟和谐。而是歌声所传达的喜悦，特别是来自鸟儿本身的喜悦，也就是在鸟叫声当中，我们主要是体会或感染，或者是接收到他们本身的喜悦。”因此，他的比喻就是，这里面我们听到了鸟儿的笑声，这是为了表达它们的满足跟快乐。因此也能够说鸟类在一定程度上面，好像共享着人类发笑的特权，那是其他动物没有的。 很多人认为，也很多人主张，我们可以这样定义人。人是唯一一种会笑的动物，就像是我们可以把人定义为，唯一具备理性的动物。因为笑跟理性，同样都是人类所特有的。不过接下来，Amelius他是这样的惊讶和感慨，为什么只有人会笑？人不是一种相当不幸、凄惨的生物吗？我们竟然具备了其他动物缺乏的这种发笑的能力，让人很惊奇。而且他认为，包括我们的惊奇的这种感觉，都是我们用这种能力所发出来的。我们能够看到很奇特的状态，遭受可怕的不幸，或者是精神痛苦折磨的人，甚至已经丧失了对生命的热爱，把所有的人类事物都视之为虚无，无法感受欢喜，又被剥夺希望的人。这种人，你想象一下，哎，好奇怪，他们还是会笑。 人类对于希望的虚无，还有生命的悲惨了解得越多，我们的期待跟乐趣就越少，但好怪，我们发笑的时机，竟然是相对应地，不是减少，而是增加。我们现在难以从整体来解释，或者是分析笑的本性，还有笑和人类心灵的关联。或许我们应该换这个角度看，把人笑这件事情定义为一种暂时的疯癫，或者是错乱。因为我们没有办法给“人在什么时候笑”，“为什么笑”，“如何笑”……各式各样关于笑的性质进行、给予一种合理而正当的解释，因为没有任何事物真正会让人感觉到满足或受到取悦。 这里面其实也就反映出这本中文翻译本，所给予我们的一个书的副标题，副标题叫做“里欧帕迪的厌世奇想对话录”。的的确确，在文章里面，Leopardi是不时会表现出他对“人”这整个现象所产生的厌恶，或者是烦闷，或者是失望。 所以对他来说，人类是一种没有办法真正愉悦——尤其是相对于鸟——的一种动物，一种生物。可是为什么这种生物偏偏就是会笑呢？这里面有一个感官跟官能的历史，如果我们去探究，并且追溯这份历史的话，会是一个相当奇妙的过程。其实就在这里他就指向想象当中的这一位Amelius，他想要写一本叫做《笑的历史》的书。Amelius，这个哲学家，当然并不是真实的存在，所以他也应该是反映了Leopardi，他内心当中，他的一个想象，或者他的一个野心。我们一定要认真好好地整理，人为什么会笑。还有，在历史当中，不同的文化，不同的时代，不同的社会，人会因为不一样的方式而笑吗？人什么时候笑？人在笑的时候到底要表达什么样的意义？反应什么样的心境？ 所以他把笑的历史的探究，这个野心，放在这篇文章里面，假装是Amelius想要做的。这也就让我们清楚地遗憾，Leopardi39岁，他就去世了。他留下的许多多多的是，观念、想法或启发。但是如果他可以活得更久一点，说不定今天我们可以看到他怎么样开始整理笑的历史，他怎么让我们更深刻、更全面地去了解笑这种动作、这种表达，跟每一个人，跟人类活动，跟人类现象更密切、更完整的关系。我们当然看不到《笑的历史》这本书，不过还好，在这一篇“鸟的歌颂”当中，留下了一点点对于笑，粗枝大叶的一些观察。 他说，在蛮荒时代，笑是透过一种奇怪的凝重神情表达出来的。就如同其他的动物，甚至在忧郁的时候都会展现出来一样。因此我想，笑不仅无疑是跟在“泪”的脚步之后，才来到这个世上，更是在“泪”的之后，历经了一段漫长的时间才出现。在这段时间当中。母亲不会用微笑来迎接她的孩童，孩童也不会笑着认出他/她的母亲。 就像维吉尔跟我们说过的，今天在文明当中的人，我们的小孩一出生就会笑，我们可以解释为孩童看到别人笑，所以他/她模仿，他/她也会笑。笑，很有可能起源于Dionysia（古希腊的狂欢节——酒神节）的精神。那就是因为喝了酒就会醉了，这是另一项人类的特征。会喝酒，而且喝了酒会醉，不仅止于文明的民族。就我们所知，世界上几乎找不出任何的人类的族群，没有某种能够让人耽溺其中，放纵自我的醉人的液体，意味着喝酒这件事情是普遍的。而且，喝酒喝到醉，喝到让自己放纵，让自己失去了原来行为的规范，是非常非常普遍的人类现象。这也难怪，我们要记得人类是最不快乐的生物，因而也最容易受到能够让精神迷离，忘却自我，或延宕所有日常生活的事物所取悦，人类藉由打断或暂时减少，对于自身特有邪恶的察觉与了解，得到了不少的益处。 这句话背后，Leopardi所要思考的，他认为人为什么会那么不快乐，跟我们的理性有关系。因为我们也是，几乎是唯一具有自省能力的一种生物。而当我们自省的时候，我们就会察觉到，我们的行为跟我们的动机，或跟我们比较高贵的，我们所认定的应然，一定有差距——人想的跟人做的从来不会是一致的。所以你不得不在这种反身的思考当中，察觉到、注意到自己内在的邪恶——为什么我永远都想的是这样，做出来却是另外一回事？或者是我们为什么永远做不到我们想的，对的事情、好的事情？我们总是会被诱惑去做了这些不对的、坏的事情呢？我们没有办法不察觉到我们自身当中的这一份邪恶，所以我们必然不快乐。必然不快乐（的）情况底下，唯有打断了我们对于自我的、更深刻的认知——例如说在喝醉酒的情况底下，或者是用任何其他方法，让我们中断了日常的觉察，我们才能够快乐。 想象当中的Amelius，他继续跟我们说。野人，通常他们的面容哀伤凝重，这些不在文明当中的人。不过在一个醉醺醺的国家，大众却会笑得不知节制，毫无停歇地谈笑欢唱，跟野蛮人、跟没有文明的人，他们的习惯是相反的。所以他就说，我会在我自己正构思写作的《笑的历史》当中，会进行更详细的讨论。在发觉笑的起源之后，我会追溯它至今的历史与命运。比起其他时代，笑在今天更受重视。笑在文明民主当中占有一席之地，担任了过去由美德、正义、荣誉之类的东西所扮演的类似角色。那实际上往往是在恐吓或制止人类犯罪。 他的这个观察，这一小段话，虽然讲的是19世纪，他活着的时候。可是经过了这么多年，对我们当代，当下的社会，也有很大的刺激跟启发。想想看，在我们的社会里面，在我们的时代里面，笑有多重要？为什么人常常觉得如果一个电影不能让你发笑，如果一个节目不能让你发笑，你就觉得不好看？为什么到今天我们这么依赖笑，为什么那么需要笑？Leopardi没有给我们答案，但他给我们非常重要的一个问题的观察点。 回来再念一小段，在这篇文章当中，讲回到鸟。 Amelius他说，“我从鸟儿的歌声对我产生的效果总结，看见他人的欢乐却不嫉妒，才真正让我们满意，让我们快活。或许我们该因此感谢自然指派了鸟儿公开高歌、展现欢乐。这跟代表着世界其他部分私下歌唱、发笑的人截然不同。天道奥妙，让空中和地上，都有这种好似以甜美嗓音当中的喜悦和谐，来赞颂大地的生物居住，并让其他的生物在不断见证幸福的过程当中——尽管是虚假的——随之欢乐起来。” 这里面另外一个关键的重点，那就是什么时候我们会真正快乐，那是我们感觉到他人的欢乐，但我们非但不嫉妒，而且我们可以同情、感受他的欢乐，因而我们就快乐了。可以好好地想一想Leopardi这么简短的一句话当中，他所给予我们的启示。收在这本书叫做《时尚与死亡的对话》里面。 “杨照书话”系列节目由杨照和方所联合制作。本音频和文字稿由方所剪辑和编写而成，版权所有。若需转载，请注明来源及出处。

'This Saint, who was from Melitine in Armenia, was the son of pious parents named Paul and Dionysia. He was born about 377. Since his mother had been barren, he was named Euthymius which means "good cheer" or "joy" for this is what his parents experienced at his birth. He studied under Eutroius, the Bishop of Melitene, by whom he was ordained and entrusted with the care of the monasteries of Melitene. Then, after he had come to Palestine about the year 406, he became the leader of a multitude of monks. Through him, a great tribe of Arabs was turned to piety, when he healed the ailing son of their leader Aspebetos. Aspebetos was baptized with all his people; he took the Christian name of Peter, and was later consecrated Bishop for his tribe, being called the "Bishop of the Tents." Saint Euthymius also fought against the Nestorians, Eutychians, and Manichaeans. When Eudocia, the widow of Saint Theodosius the Younger, had made her dwelling in Palestine, and had fallen into the heresy of the Monophysites which was championed in Palestine by a certain Theodosius, she sent envoys to Saint Symeon the Stylite in Syria (see Sept.1), asking him his opinion of Eutyches and the Council of Chalcedon which had condemned him; Saint Symeon, praising the holiness and Orthodoxy of Saint Euthymius near whom she dwelt, sent her to him to be delivered from her error (the holy Empress Eudocia is commemorated Aug. 13). He became the divine oracle of the Church, or rather, "the vessel of divine utterance," as a certain historian writes. He was the instructor and elder of Saint Sabbas the Sanctified. Having lived for ninety-six years, he reposed in 473, on January 20.' (Great Horologion)

An indie/alternative rock band with an awesome sound and catchy songs.

The more we talk to Dionysia, the more we're amazed they even had time to come on this show...let alone to do normal human things like 'eat meals' and 'go for walks' and 'socialize with others' and whatnot. Garrett and Julian give us even more insight on their trials and tribulations as they balance their day jobs with a night-life. From opening for huge bands like Kongos to applying to the major music festivals, they really are in a super interesting spot; being right on the edge of a full-time music career is a lot of work, and these guys are in it for the long haul.

Dionysia is not your typical rock band. Sure, they have hit songs, millions of streams on Spotify, and multiple national tour dates booked, but they also have....9-5 jobs? As Engineers?? Dafuq???? On today's episode, the band's two lead singers, Garrett Brown and Julien Vandal, sit down and give us some insight on how they manage to make it all work. They touch upon how their music has improved as they've been together longer, what it's like to be right on the edge of really breaking out, and why they still bother having full-time jobs on top of highly demanding music careers. And yes, Kate is absent on this one, since she's flaunting around somewhere in Europe as she 'studies abroad' and 'experiences new cultures' and whatnot. But she'll be back. They allllllways come back.

In this episode, we discuss the origins of drama; the Dionysia festival (both Rural and City); the physical space of the theater; and the components of tragedy and comedy Show Notes: http://www.thehistoryofancientgreece.com/2017/07/049-theater-and-dionysia.html  

In this episode, we discuss the ascension of Peisistratos as the first tyrant of Athens and the political maneuverings that he and his two sons, Hippias and Hipparchus, took in maintaining (and sometimes regaining) their position, which included armed warfare, trickery, political marriages, and the expulsion of many of their political enemies (who would go and found several colonies in Athens' name); the economic reforms that Peisistratos and his two sons undertook; their patronage of the arts and public works in the Agora and Acropolis, as well as at other religious sanctuaries in Attica; their encouragement of religious festivals, especially the Greater Panathenaia and the Dionysia; and the ultimate dissolution of the tyranny brought about by the assassination of Hipparchus, the susbsequent cruelty and expulsion of Hippias, and the ascendency of Cleisthenes (with the help of the Spartans) Show Notes: http://www.thehistoryofancientgreece.com/2016/12/026-tyranny-of-peisistratids.html   Intro by Doug Metzger of the Literature and History Podcast Website: http://literatureandhistory.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/literatureandhistory Twitter: https://twitter.com/lahpodcast

In addition to the Panathenaia, Athens had another great festival: the Dionysia. This was a festival celebrated in spring in honour of the god Dionysos, with a dramatic competition as its centrepiece – going to the theatre was part of a religious festival. In this lecture Dr Heather Sebo looks at the structure of the festival, the nature of dramatic performances in Athens, and the links between the dramatic festival and Athenian society, democracy and politics.
