My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is September the 4th, 2026, and today I'm looking back at the movies and streaming shows I watched over Summer 2026. We will also have Coupon of the Week and an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Ghost Armor series at my Payhip store. That coupon code is FALLARMOR. As always, you can get the coupon code and the links to my Payhip store available in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through September 21st, 2026, so if you need a new ebook for this fall, we have got you covered. Now an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. I'm pleased to report that the rough draft of Blade of Visions is done. It came to 99,000 words. It'd be kind of cool if it came to 100,000, but as I've learned in the 15 years I've been doing this, it's not a good idea to pad things for length. Editing is underway. I'm about 15% through the first pass of edits. I'm working on the cover design, so I'm on good track to have the book out before the end of the month. I also wrote a tie-in short story called Winter Crown and don't forget that [newsletter] subscribers will get a free ebook copy of that short story when Blade of Visions comes out later this month. So this makes a very excellent time to subscribe to my new release newsletter. I am also 12,000 words into Elven-Warlock, which will be the seventh book in the Half-Elven Thief series. Hopefully that will be out in October, if all goes well. In audiobook news, I think Blade of Thieves (as narrated by Brad Wills) and Cloak of Worlds (as narrated by Hollis McCarthy) are now finally available at all the usual audiobook stores, which includes Audible, Apple, Amazon, Kobo, Google Play, Chirp, and all the others. So if you want to listen to those if you are going on a Labor Day road trip, you can check those out. A reminder that Stealth and Spells Online: The Complete LitRPG trilogy (narrated by C.J. McAllister) is also available on Audible, so check that out. That's 32 hours long and that would also cover all your Labor Day travels. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing and audiobook projects. 00:02:22 Main Topic of the Week: Summer 2026 Movie Roundup So let's move on to our main topic this week. Our main topic this week is the Summer 2026 Movie Roundup and I always enjoy doing those. These episodes are a little less serious than some of the other episodes and it's fun to talk about things I enjoyed and that you might enjoy as well. And I did see a lot of new movies this summer. In fact, I went to the actual theater four times for Masters of the Universe, The Odyssey, Spider-Man, and Coyote vs. Acme, which is probably more than I've gone in a single season since before COVID times. So as usual, here are the movies I saw this summer (rated from least favorite to most favorite). The grades are totally subjective and based on nothing but my own thoughts and opinions. First up is The Breadwinner, which came out in 2026. This is basically standup comedian Nate Bargatze's act come to life as a movie. If you've seen Bargatze's standup, his usual routine is to portray himself as the dumb husband and bumbling Girl Dad, which is actually quite clever from a comedic standpoint since you're unlikely to have outraged mobs calling for your head if all you're doing is making fun of yourself. Anyway, Bargatze portrays Nate Wilcox, the best Toyota salesman in Nashville. (Don't worry, this is the first of only many product placement moments.) He lets his wife Kate manage the household and do the bulk of the work with their three daughters. When Kate's invention takes off on Shark Tank, she has to go to South Korea for two weeks to oversee manufacturing, leaving Nate in charge of the kids. Comedic chaos ensues. On the positive side of this movie, I did approve how this movie showed a married couple trying to work through a rough patch and do what's right for their kids and each other in a semi-productive way rather than blowing up their lives over nonsensical trivialities in the style of Eat, Pray, Love. On the downside, there was a lot of product placement, to the point where it at times felt like an extended commercial with bits of plot jammed in between product endorsement. No doubt most of the production budget came from product placement money. Will Forte was funny as an eccentric roofing contractor and Martin Herlihy as a shifty DoorDash employee. Kumail Nanjiani was funny as Nate's rival salesman at the car dealership. So overall, I would say this was blandly amusing and inoffensive with some funny slapstick moments. Overall grade: C- Next up is Supergirl, which came out in 2026. This movie really was sort of a strange combination of John Wick and the human trafficking subplot from 2020's Black Widow. The end result wasn't quite as good as Superman from 2025, alas. I did like this movie's interpretation of Supergirl. Kara Zor-El's departure from Krypton was way more traumatic than Superman's, so she's dealing with her unresolved emotional issues by traveling from planet to planet with red suns and getting hammered since the same yellow sun that gives Kryptonians their superpowers on Earth also keeps them from getting drunk because their bodies process alcohol too efficiently. However, Kara comes to a planet where a girl named Ruthye lives. Ruthye's family has been slaughtered by ruthless brigands yet led by Krem of the Yellow Hills and she's going on a quest for revenge. When Ruthye tries to recruit Kara for the quest, she's not interested, but then Krem steals Kara's spaceship and poisons her dog Krypto. Krem carries the antidote on his person, so now Kara and Ruthye team up to get vengeance on Krem and to heal Krypto. Krem is a nasty piece of work and he and his space gang travel from planet to planet abducting women to be their wives. I think the problem was that Krem was kind of a boring but nasty villain, but he was still boring. He was basically a space thug with too many piercings. Lex Luthor from 2025 Superman, by contrast, was a really interesting villain, this malignant narcissist who knows that his obsession with Superman is over the top, but he's going to act on it anyway. Additionally, I don't think this version of Supergirl is quite capable of being a lead character on her own. She'd make a superb secondary character, but I don't think she could quite carry a movie on her own. And Jason Momoa was pretty good as Lobo. Overall grade: C- Next up is Troy, which came out in 2004. I wanted to see this either before or after I watched The Odyssey this summer and ended up watching it the day before I went to see The Odyssey. I would say this movie was slow and ponderous, but I did enjoy watching it. This is an adaption of The Iliad and has the sort of slow stateliness of epic films from the '60s. It had good performances and good battle scenes. Brian Cox was enjoyable as a scenery chewing Agamemnon and Brad Pitt worked as Achilles. Interestingly, his version of Achilles reminded me of the interpretation of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen from Dune 2 as sort of a violent psychopath with his own twisted sense of honor. Oddly, despite the fact that this was rather a long movie, the ending seems a bit rushed, like we needed to hurry up and get to the Trojan Horse. It was amusing how Achilles' relationship with Patroclus was changed to "cousin" for the modern audience, but Greek views on sexuality would definitely be unpalatable with both right-wing and left-wing versions of the modern mind, which is a good thing because while the Greeks contributed a great deal to the development of civilization, they were into a lot of unsavory stuff. So overall, I would say this was a fun, epic movie, but I think this walked so the 2026 version of The Odyssey could run. Amusing fact: Christopher Nolan was apparently supposed to direct this, but the deal fell through and he got Batman Begins as a consolation prize instead. Overall grade: B- Next up is The Dink, which came out in 2026. This is an Apple TV comedy movie about pickleball of all things. I feel like this was made because some Apple executive got made fun of by some tennis players for playing pickleball and then decided to take revenge through media. Jake Johnson plays Dustin Boyd, a washed up former child tennis star who now works at his father's tennis club. The club has difficulties because of a growing influx of pickleball players who the hardcore tennis players hate. Dustin's father decides to use the club's bylaws to force a duel match to decide the issue, in the grand tradition of wacky comedy stakes. Dustin really wants to play the duel match, but his wrist is injured in an accident. To get his wrist mobility back, the doctor suggested he play some pickleball and Dustin views this as beneath him, but he really wants to play again, so he signs up for pickleball. This ends up being a wacky sports company/buddy movie as Dustin gradually befriends an eccentric older pickleball player. Ed Harris should really do more comedic roles. He was great as Dustin's stern, yet unscrupulous father. I do admire Apple TV's dedication to making random stuff. Overall grade: B- Next up is Green and Gold, which came out in 2025, and this is a melodrama about a farmer and his granddaughter dealing with the grim economic realities of farming. This is set in 1992/1993 era Wisconsin. Buck refuses to modernize his dairy farm in Door County, Wisconsin. His granddaughter Jenny is a talented musician and also a skilled farmer, and Buck wants her to take over the farm one day, but Jenny's ambitions are looking elsewhere. Events come to a head when Jenny realizes that Buck is deeply in debt to the bank, which is about to foreclose on the farm. However, Buck and the chief banker have a personal animosity, so they settle on a bet. If the Green Bay Packers win a Super Bowl title in 1993, the banker will give Buck one more year to turn things around on the farm. Meanwhile, Jenny begins to wonder if her music ambitions might generate the money to save the farm. Of course, if you are familiar with the history of the Packers, you know that they won a Super Bowl in 1996, not 1993. The movie has carried on the back of the very strong performances of its actors. It also has an ambiguously happy ending, as is true with so many things in farming. I like this movie because I've spent a lot of my life in the American Midwest, [and] I did appreciate how it shows the difficulties of the farming life. Also, this is important: a fall from a ladder is a plot point. Ladder safety is important, people! If you are going up a ladder, for heaven's sake don't climb the ladder in high heels like the character in question does. Wear sensible, well-fitting shoes with good soles. A very long time ago, I used to work with a guy who would climb extension ladders in cowboy boots. It is nothing short of the mercy of God that he didn't fall off and shatter half the bones in his body. Overall grade: B Next up is Grumpy Old Men, which came out in 1993. Apparently this is set in Wabasha, Minnesota, which is amusing because filming actually took place in several areas in the Twin Cities in Eastern Minnesota, but not actually in Wabasha. I found that personally amusing because I'm quite familiar with the area and so I recognize several filming locations. Anyway, the movie is about two retirees, Max and John, who are enemies and have been enemies for years, but Max is lonely and wants to get married again, and John is about to lose his house to the IRS due to tax problems. Things come to a head when an attractive literature professor moves across the street and both Max and John take an interest in her and start competing for her affections. However, it turns out that Max and John are actually best friends whose love language happens to be hatred and practical jokes, kind of like Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, but more on them below. This was a good character comedy/drama. It was interesting that the professor was an early version of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope, albeit several decades before someone came up with the term. This is worth watching both as a character and comedy drama and a time capsule of the 1990s. Sometimes a movie ages a bit badly (Airplane and the Thomas Crown Affair from the Spring Movie Roundup come to mind), but this didn't. The sequel Grumpier Old Men from 1995 is basically the same movie, but with the characters acting about 20% dumber so a sitcom style plot can happen. Still entertaining, but not as good as the first one, so Grumpier Old Men only gets a B-, but Grumpy Old Men gets a B+. Next up is Masters of the Universe, which came out in 2026. It was amusing to read reviews of this movie because people thought way too hard about a movie that is essentially about battling action figures. Anyway, this was pretty good. It was nice to see a movie about a science fiction property that doesn't actually hate the source material. Basically it's a live action version of the cartoons from the '80s, albeit with somewhat more thoughtful moments. I heard someone suggest that it was close in tone to Thor: Ragnarok, and that seems accurate. The plot is that Skeletor conquers Eternia and 10-year-old Prince Adam is sent with the Sword of Power through a magical portal to Earth to keep him and the sword out of Skeletor's reach. However, Adam loses the sword while passing through the gate and 15 years later is working in human resources. He's still seeking for the sword despite his therapist trying to convince him that it was a trauma-induced fantasy. However, his persistence pays off and he does find the sword. Teela, who is one of the resistance leaders against Skeletor's rule, comes to Earth to find him and bring him back, but Skeletor's minions arrive to claim the sword as well. Adam and Teela escape back to Eternia and it's up to Adam to find a way to use the Sword of Power to become the hero that Eternia needs. Dolph Lundgren's cameo was great. Overall, I would say this is a fun movie to watch, especially if you're a Millennial or Gen Xer who saw the cartoons or the live action movie back in the '80s. Jared Leto has something of an increasingly questionable reputation these days, but he did a good job as Skeletor, played him halfway between the solemn gravitas of the 1987 version and the malevolent comedic cornball of the cartoons. Of course, in my opinion, the Frank Langella version from 1987 is the best version of Skeletor since he placed it with all the seriousness of a Shakespearean villain monologue at the Royal Shakespeare Company. In hindsight, it wasn't terribly surprising that this underperformed at the box office. It felt like it was made for guys my age, not for kids. I would've been comfortable bringing an eight-year-old to see The Mandalorian and Grogu or Super Mario Galaxy, but I would've been less certain bringing a kid that age to see Masters of the Universe. Additionally, it seemed very Marvel in tone, and I think the overall mood of the US these days is less "Marvel Cinematic Universe quips and banter" and more sort of the grimness of The Odyssey, which we'll talk about shortly. Overall grade: B+ Next up is Young Washington, which came out in 2026, a biopic of the early life of George Washington, covering how he more or less accidentally started the French and Indian War and how he recovered his reputation at the Battle of Braddock's Field. To be fair, the international situation at the time meant that someone was going to start the French and Indian War. It just happened to be Washington, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Overall, I liked this. It was reasonably historically accurate, though some of the emotional and family dialogue at times was a bit clunky. Additionally, Washington was portrayed as having revolutionary leanings much earlier in life than he actually did, since when he was a young man, he had no thoughts of being anything but a British subject and officer. That said, some of the most implausible stuff in the movie actually happened in real life. Like if I were to write in a novel that the future president of the United States personally rallied the army's rear guard to save as many men as possible from an ambush, and in the process had two horses shot out from under him and ended up with bullet holes in his hat and coat (all while fighting continuously), you would probably find that a bit implausible, but it actually happened that way. Washington's daring actions during that battle were one of the reasons he was appointed commander of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, that and there weren't many other colonials with as much experience of military command as Washington. In that vein, the battle scenes were the best part of the movie. They captured the brutality and messiness of 18th Century warfare without being especially graphic. Anyway, I'm glad this is getting a sequel. Maybe we'll end up with a Young Washington Cinematic Universe. Overall grade: B+ Next up is Meet the Parents, which came out in 2000, and this is probably one of the apex forms of cringe comedy. Ben Stiller plays Greg Focker, a nurse who's in love with schoolteacher Pam Burns. Greg wants to marry Pam, but overhears a phone call with her sister where she says her fiancé asked permission of her traditional father first. Greg decides that he's going to ask Pam's father's permission first to get off on the right foot, and so accompanies Pam to her sister's wedding and her parents' house to, as the title says, Meet the Parents. However, Pam's father is the former CIA counterintelligence officer Jack, and he and Greg immediately get on each other's nerves. To make things worse, the airline has lost Greg's luggage. From these two starting premises follow a cascading series of hilarious disasters that accumulate in a septic tank fire on the lawn. I'm not sure, but I think I saw this one in the theaters when it came out in 2000, and I thought it was funny then. With 26 years of additional life experience under the belt, I still think it's pretty funny, though you could still tell that this movie was filmed before 9/11 because if Greg had his airport meltdown seen today, the consequences would've been much worse. Overall grade: B+ Next up is O Brother Where Art Thou, which came out in 2000. This is a very, very, very specific adaptation of The Odyssey directed by the Coen brothers. George Clooney plays Everett, a convict who escapes from a chain gang in Mississippi during the Great Depression. He wants to find a treasure and he recruits fellow convicts Delmar and Peter to assist him. Along the way, Everett and his team encountered 1930s era versions of the Sirens, the cyclops, the blind prophet Tiresias, and other characters and foes from the original Odyssey myth. Everett and his friends end up running a scam where they pretend to be a Christian music group, but as it turns out, they're actually pretty good at singing, so this leads to unexpected hilarity and opportunities. This was also a very funny movie. Imagine The Odyssey is a comedy with a lot of singing set in the Deep South during the Depression, and you're there. If you're a fan of bluegrass music, this is worth watching. If you've seen Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, it's worth watching this just to ponder how the same source material can produce such wildly divergent interpretations. If you don't care about The Odyssey, then this is still a fun movie to watch. Proof: I mentioned to someone that I had seen this and she responded that she both loved the movie and was surprised to learn that he had in fact been inspired by The Odyssey. Overall grade: A- Next up is Hoppers, which came out in 2026. Like most Pixar movies, this was very high concept. Unlike many recent Pixar movies, it wasn't too depressing and didn't disappear up its own tailpipe. In the city of Beaverton, hot tempered girl Mabel bonds with her grandmother in their favorite place, a woodland grove favored by beavers. Years later, Mabel is a biology student under Dr. Fairfax, but is neglecting her studies to face off against her nemesis, the popular yet sketchy Mayor Jerry of Beaverton. Mayor Jerry wants to build an expressway that will wipe out the woodland grove, and he's perfectly within his rights to do it since no animals have been found living there. Since Mabel's grandmother has died, she's unwilling to give up the grove. However, Dr. Fairfax's research might give her a way. Dr. Fairfax has worked out a way to temporarily transfer human consciousness to a robotic beaver capable of speaking to real beavers, much like the plot of Avatar. In a funny scene, Fairfax angrily denies that it's just like Avatar. Mabel gets the idea to use this to convince real beavers to settle in the grove, thereby thwarting Mayor Jerry's plans. This touches off both a wacky yet poignant adventure. The plot was very well structured and it followed the proper rules of story structure, which I've talked about before. Mabel definitely is a protagonist who takes action, but experiences setbacks and problems of her own creation. It was pretty good. I say it was a return to form for Pixar after some of their weaker movies in the 2020s. Overall grade: A Now it's time for my three favorite movies of summer 2026, all of which I actually saw in the theater. First up is Coyote versus Acme, which came out in 2026. This movie had an extra surge of popularity from the fact that Warner Brothers canceled it as a tax write-off, but distributor Ketchup Entertainment revived it. That makes it a plucky underdog since Warner Brothers senior executives are kind of like the apex version of soulless corporate bug men. Like if I wrote characters in my books who acted like Warner Brothers senior executives, people would think I was being didactic and heavy-handed. Anyway, after decades of failures in efforts to capture the Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote decides to sue Acme Corporation for its numerous defective products. Coyote teams up with a lazy strip mall lawyer named Kevin Avery, who specializes in getting small settlements from Acme. However, Avery and Coyote end up filing a massive lawsuit against Acme, which means they'll face the full wrath of Acme Corporation, including its ace lawyer Buddy Crane and its ruthless CEO, Foghorn Leghorn. What follows is a comedic courtroom battle as Coyote and Avery try to defeat Acme Corporation, defeat its sinister plans, and Coyote starts to realize that Road Runner might actually be his best friend. Both quite amusing and touching, and I'm glad this was rescued from the tax write-off vault. Overall grade: A Next up is The Odyssey, which came out in 2026. This wasn't quite as good as Oppenheimer in 2023 in my opinion, but it was still very good and very much worth seeing. It was weird that The Odyssey was briefly a football in the never-ending US culture war scrum because the movie isn't really political and doesn't really have a message beyond "war is destructive and bad", which every sensible person would agree with, and a lesser message of "violating the law of morality has unforeseen cascading bad consequences, including the destruction of civilization", which is also quite true and was one of the themes of Oppenheimer. Nolan himself dismissed the controversies as "irrelevant" and "part of the territory" since no one had actually seen the movie yet, and given that The Odyssey has made a billion and a half dollars as of this recording, I think that may have proved his point. I imagine the scrutiny from Batman fans back in the 2010s was way more intense since in the modern era, many people care more deeply about the accuracy of Batman than The Odyssey. I do think the debate over the historical accuracy in The Odyssey is pointless because the Odyssey is myth, not history. The Iliad and The Odyssey are a lot like Arthurian myth in terms of their actual historicity. Even when Arthurian legend was massively popular with English kings and nobles in the late medieval and early modern period (for example, Henry VIII's older brother was named Arthur in imitation of King Arthur), the version of Arthurian myth they celebrated and wished to emulate had virtually no connection to the reality of Britain in the 500s AD and was instead a sort of fantasy version of their own time in the 14th and 15th centuries. By the time The Odyssey was written down, no doubt a similar process was underway. Both The Iliad and The Odyssey and the Arthurian cycle probably have a kernel of historical truth buried underneath the tales of magic swords, sirens, cyclopses, and vengeful witches with magic islands. There likely was a Romano-British warlord who might have been named Arthur (or possibly Ambrosius Aurelianus) who held off the Saxons for a while before he was overwhelmed and killed. Likewise, Heinrich Schliemann was a highly eccentric and very sketchy crazy rich guy, but he did prove that there really was some version of the city of Troy that was destroyed at the end of the Bronze Age. But everything beyond those basic details came from thousands of years of embellishments and flourishes from later poets and writers. So arguing about the historical accuracy of The Odyssey is a bit like arguing if Star Wars portrays faster than light travel in an accurate way. That kind of argument is just missing the point entirely. It's also interesting to see how modern standards clashed with the ancient mindset. You know how I always say that everywhere in the United States is exactly the same right until it really, really isn't? I think ancient people are just like us until they really, really weren't. Like ancient people would have been superstitious to an extent that even the most credulous crystal and aura influencer on TikTok would find horrifying and frequently violent in a way that the most strident self-defense advocate would find shocking. The Odyssey's version of Odysseus feels guilt and remorse over his actions in a way an actual ancient Greek probably wouldn't have, but so what? This is The Odyssey viewed through the lens of the 21st century, just as those English nobles viewed the myth of King Arthur and his knights through the lens of their time. As I mentioned with Troy above, the ancient Greeks were often quite brutal and would celebrate sacking an enemy city. One side note before we get to the movie, I probably found it funnier than I should have how Nolan favorably cited classicist Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey as a source, and Wilson then had an extended and unintentionally comedic multi-article crashout about how much she hated the movie and of course how much she hated the commemorative Trojan Horse popcorn bucket. Apparently Wilson hated the movie so much she's going to do a new translation of The Odyssey, much to her publisher's baffled dismay. No one does offended huffy petulance quite like an academic. Anyway, back to the movie. It follows the familiar story of Odysseus through Christopher Nolan's preference for non-linear storytelling and practical effects. I did think it was interesting how in this interpretation, Odysseus explicitly connected the ruse of the Trojan Horse with the collapse of the Bronze Age and the rise of the Sea Peoples. It's also probably the most supernatural film Nolan has ever done with actual fantasy and supernatural elements as opposed to science fiction like Inception, Tenant, and Interstellar. Odysseus talks to Athena throughout the movie and it's left up to the viewer's interpretation whether or not he's actually talking to Athena or his own guilt-ridden hallucinations. That said, Odysseus encounters a witch with actual magic powers and travels to the underworld to speak with the shades of the dead, so it's entirely possible he's talking to the actual Athena. In this version, as I mentioned, Odysseus is guilt-ridden over the ruse of the Trojan Horse, which is shown as a violation of the sacred hospitality of Zeus's law and as great a crime as the creation of the atomic bomb in Oppenheimer, which of course is similar to Oppenheimer, where Oppenheimer's creation of the atomic bomb is treated similarly. There are also some genuinely scary sequences in the movie. The bit with the underworld is very spooky, the cyclops is actually quite frightening, and the character of Circe reaches the level of scary previously attained by Heath Ledger's version of The Joker in The Dark Knight. If Nolan ever decides he wants to do a horror movie, it will probably be one of the scariest ones ever made. To sum up, The Odyssey has great performances, great spectacle, great cinematography, and great action sequences. As an interesting interpretation of the original myth, definitely worth seeing. I think you can tell it was a great movie because of all the arguments on the Internet about "what does it really mean?" Great art often has that effect. Overall grade: A The final of my three favorite movies of [Summer] 2026 is Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which came out in 2026. There's a rumor, and I don't know if it's true or not, that Tom Holland found the experience of working with Christopher Nolan on The Odyssey so eye-opening that he insisted that if they made another Spider-Man movie, it had to have a reason for existing other than "make a lot of money". If this story is true, it clearly worked. Previously, I though the two best Spider-Man movies were Spider-Man 2 from 2004 and Spider-Man: No Way Home from 2021. I must now amend that opinion to say that there are three best Spider-Man movies and Spider-Man: Brand New Day is one of the three. It is pretty good. I would've trimmed it here and there, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and is an excellent Spider-Man story that totally captures the essence of the character within a good story. It takes place four years after the events of No Way Home erased everyone's memory that Peter Parker was Spider-Man. Peter has now been crime fighting full time, but it is taking a severe toll on his emotions and personal life that he's deliberately ignoring. Meanwhile, Spider-Man has become the beloved crime fighter of New York, trusted by both the NYPD and the Federal Department of Damage Control, which is a reoccurring frenemy for superheroes from other movies. When someone launches an attack on the headquarters of Damage Control, the director recruits Peter to fight their new enemy, a mysterious figure who uses telepathy to possess people from a distance. Peter is the only one who can sense it thanks to his spider sense, and he's also the only one able to resist the telepath's possession abilities. But despite his resistance to possession, fighting a telepath is a dangerous proposition for someone with as many emotional issues as Peter, and things start to spiral out of control when the telepath starts digging into his life. But there's another lesson Peter has to learn. People (and especially superheroes) who take the federal government at its word tend to regret it. For that matter, ignoring his emotional issues is causing Peter's spider powers to start acting in strange ways. But of course, at the end of the day, Spider-Man always follows his conscience, no matter how high the cost to him personally. Definitely an enjoyable movie. All the scenes with Spider-Man and Punisher were great, and the two of them had a great dynamic together. A few other Marvel Cinematic Universe people show up, but this is probably one of the most standalone movies the MCU has done in a while. Of course, the risk of MCU Continuity Lockout is always there (which is one of the reasons I started writing Half-Eleven Thief in 2023). Overall grade: A So I would say it was a pretty good summer for movies. It's also valuable lessons in not taking the Internet too seriously, which too many people do nowadays. There are all these dedicated analyses on X, Threads, and Reddit in June and May explaining why The Odyssey was going to fail for whatever reason, and instead it made $1.5 billion. So I think that's a good lesson in not taking everything you read on the internet a little too seriously. So that's it for this week. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.

Bienvenidos al primer viaje en el cual nos van a acompañar en vivo y en directo, y para más sentido especial, iremos a un destino maravilloso: Grecia. Esta serie se hace con motivo del viaje que tendremos a Grecia en el mes de septiembre. A veces vemos  a los griegos antiguos como un asunto de otros tiempos, pero la verdad es que las referencias al mundo griego están en todo lado: desde las palabras que usamos a diario al levantarnos, la medicina, la ciencia y la política, hasta el alfabeto que permitió plasmar con precisión la voz humana. En este episodio caminamos primero por las raíces de nuestro vocabulario cotidiano y las civilizaciones del mar Egeo anteriores a los griegos, como los minoicos de Creta y los guerreros micénicos; después entramos en el colapso del 1200 a.C. y la llamada Edad Oscura, pasamos por la revolución del alfabeto que fijó las historias de Homero y llegamos a la teogonía de Hesíodo con los mitos del origen del cosmos. Esta es la historia de cómo una cultura milenaria sembró los cimientos del pensamiento, la lengua y la imaginación de Occidente. Notas del episodio El legado vivo del idioma griego en nuestra cotidianidad: Aunque parezca lejano, usamos el griego todo el día: sandalias (sandálion), esponja (spongós), higiene (hygieia), teléfono o televisor. Desde la creación de un alfabeto con vocales hace unos 2.800 años, el griego bautizó profesiones, ciencias (física, química, biología), ramas médicas (cardiología, dermatología, neurología), la geografía e incluso palabras sagradas como Cristo, Biblia o Iglesia. Antes de ser griegos: los minoicos de Creta: En el mar Egeo floreció una civilización que no hablaba griego pero sentó las bases del mundo posterior: los minoicos de Creta, con grandes palacios y redes comerciales. Hacia 1500 a.C. la erupción de Thera (Santorini) cubrió Akrotiri de ceniza, y hacia 1450 a.C. guerreros de tierra firme destruyeron los palacios, quedando Cnosos en manos de los primeros hablantes de griego. El Wanax, el Damos y los micénicos: Descubiertos por Heinrich Schliemann en Micenas y confirmados en 2015 con el "Guerrero Griffin" de Pilos, los micénicos se organizaban bajo un rey (wanax) y comunidades locales (damos, raíz de democracia). Usaban la escritura Lineal B para la administración y eran conocidos por hititas (Ahhiyawa) y egipcios (Tanaju) El colapso de sistemas y la Edad Oscura: Hacia 1200 a.C. cayó el mundo micénico junto con Troya y el imperio hitita debido a un colapso sistémico general y la presencia de los "hombres del mar". Siguió una etapa sin escritura y de baja demográfica (la Edad Oscura), donde llegó el trabajo del hierro desde Chipre y los dorios se asentaron en Grecia central y Anatolia. La revolución del alfabeto y Homero: Al adaptar el sistema fenicio e incorporar vocales hacia el 800 a.C., los griegos crearon un sistema de apenas veinte signos exactos. Este invento permitió fijar por escrito la Ilíada y la Odisea, poemas transmitidos oralmente en verso hexámetro que reflejan la tensión entre reyes guerreros y asambleas libres. La mitología griega y la Teogonía de Hesíodo: Hesíodo relató el origen del cosmos a partir del Caos inicial, del cual surgen Gea (la Tierra) y Urano (el Cielo). La castración de Urano por parte de Cronos con una hoz de pedernal dio origen a las Erinias, los Gigantes y a Afrodita, nacida de la espuma del mar en Citera y Chipre.

Mit dem Namen Heinrich Schliemann verbinden wir nicht nur die großen Mythen der Antike, der Mann hatte auch selbst ein bewegtes Leben. Sohn eines mecklenburgischen Pfarrers war er, später dann weitgereister Kaufmann und schließlich Entdecker oder zumindest Ausgräber des antiken Troja. Der Schriftsteller Gregor Sander hat jetzt einen Roman über Heinrich Schliemann geschrieben: "Troja, später Nachmittag" heißt er und erzählt nicht nur über den Forscher Heinrich Schliemann, sondern auch über den Menschen. Bei radio3 erzählt Gregor Sander, was ihn an Schliemann gereizt hat und wie er beim Schreiben des Romans vorgegangen ist.

Gregor Sander präsentiert Heinrich Schliemann in seinem neuen Roman als Weltenbürger und unglücklich Verliebten.

Después de hacerse millonario, el alemán Heinrich Schliemann liquidó sus negocios para viajar y estudiar lenguas antiguas. Un viaje por el Mediterráneo le deparó una oportunidad única: excavar los restos de la Troya cantada por Homero.

Depuis près de 3 000 ans, les aventures d'Achille, d'Ulysse, d'Hélène et du cheval de Troie fascinent l'humanité. Mais derrière les récits d'Homère se cache une question essentielle : Troie a-t-elle réellement existé ? Au XIXe siècle, un riche homme d'affaires allemand devenu archéologue, Heinrich Schliemann, décide de consacrer sa fortune à résoudre ce mystère. Convaincu que les poèmes antiques disent vrai, il se lance dans des fouilles spectaculaires en Turquie. Entre découvertes extraordinaires, erreurs de méthode, trésors controversés et intuitions de génie, son aventure va bouleverser notre connaissance du monde antique. Une enquête passionnante aux frontières de l'histoire, de l'archéologie et de la légende.

Dopo tanto tempo è tornata a trovarci Archeomilla, la nostra archeologa di riferimento. Nella prima delle due puntate parliamo di Heinrich Schliemann, l’uomo che “scoprì” la città di Troia, ma che nasconde tutta una serie di scheletri nell’armadio, che manco Jeffrey Dahmer. Non bastano certo 10 minuti per raccontare quanto quest’uomo fosse matto come un cavallo, ma ci proviamo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La guerra de Troya fue el principal pilar sobre el cual se construyó la identidad cultural, ética y política de la antigua Grecia. Este conflicto, ubicado históricamente entre los siglos XIII y XII a. C., marcó la transición entre la era de los héroes y el mundo de los mortales. A través de las epopeyas de Homero, la civilización griega encontró un espejo para proyectar sus dilemas morales y su sistema educativo, la “paideia”, que moldeó el pensamiento occidental durante milenios. Este ciclo mítico es mucho más que una una crónica de batallas, es un tratado sobre la condición humana y la relación de los hombres con lo divino. En la cosmovisión griega, esta guerra no fue obra de los hombres, sino una orquestación divina que partió del mismo Zeus para reequilibrar el cosmos y reducir la población de semidioses. El conflicto se originó en las nupcias de Peleo y Tetis donde la diosa Eris sembró la discordia con una manzana dorada. El posterior juicio de Paris, en el que el príncipe troyano eligió el amor de Helena sobre el poder de Hera o la sabiduría de Atenea, desencadenó el rapto de la reina de Esparta y activó el Juramento de Tindáreo, que unió a los reinos aqueos en una coalición liderada por el poderoso Agamenón de Micenas. La expedición griega reunió a figuras que personifican diversos ideales del heroísmo helénico: Aquiles, el guerrero que busca la gloria eterna a costa de una vida breve; Ulises, símbolo de la astucia, la estrategia y la inteligencia; Áyax, la encarnación de la fuerza y Agamenón, cuya autoridad se ve constantemente empañada por su propia soberbia y falta de tacto diplomático. Los preparativos de la contienda estuvieron marcados por la tragedia del sacrificio de Ifigenia, un episodio oscuro que ahonda en los límites de la ambición política frente a los vínculos familiares y la implacable voluntad de los dioses. La Ilíada narra tan sólo un breve periodo del último año de la guerra de Troya. Se centra esencialmente en la cólera de Aquiles tras ser humillado por Agamenón. Este relato nos habla de la tensión entre la autoridad de los reyes y el mérito individual basado en la excelencia. Tras la muerte de Patroclo, su compañero más querido, Aquiles regresa al combate poseído por una furia ciega para matar a Héctor, el noble defensor de Troya. Pero la epopeya no concluye con violencia, sino con un acto de profunda humanidad: el encuentro secreto entre Aquiles y el anciano rey Príamo, donde ambos reconocen su sufrimiento compartido y la fragilidad de la vida humana bajo el peso del destino. La guerra se libró simultáneamente en el plano humano y el divino. Los dioses del Olimpo intervinieron activamente y llegaron a sufrir incluso heridas en el combate, lo que demuestra la estrecha unión entre ambos mundos en esta mitología arcaica. Finalmente, la ciudad no cayó por la fuerza bruta, sino por la “metis”, la astucia de Ulises y su ingeniosa estratagema del caballo de madera. El saqueo de la ciudad, el accidentado regreso de los héroes, el asesinato de Agamenón a manos de su esposa o la larga travesía de diez años de Ulises, simbolizan el fin definitivo de la era heroica y el comienzo de un nuevo mundo. Más allá del mito, la Guerra de Troya funcionó como el motor de la unidad griega frente a lo no griego, lo bárbaro. Muchos siglos después se encontró la verdadera Troya. El arqueólogo alemán que dio con ella, Heinrich Schliemann, descubrió que no era una, sino varias. Hoy en día el relato mítico de Troya se mantiene como una síntesis de todo aquello que nos hace humanos: el amor, el poder, la muerte y el honor. También es la historia de cómo un pueblo antiguo construyó su identidad a través de un relato épico que aconteció en un momento histórico convulso, el del final de la edad del bronce. Para tratar este tema vuelve hoy a La ContraHistoria Carlos Pérez Simancas, que acaba de publicar “Mitomancia”, una lectura histórica de los mitos griegos en clave contemporánea.

Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan de recursos literarios, de El sueño de Troya y del musical Wicked. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: Wicked, El Musical Una superproducción espectacular que muestra la conmovedora y sorprendente historia de las legendarias brujas del mundo mágico de OZ, desde mucho antes de la llegada de Dorothy. En cartel del Nuevo Teatro Alcalá (c/ Jorge Juan, 62), con funciones de martes a domingos. Este espectáculo escénico ha obtenido más de 100 premios internacionales y que lleva representándose, ininterrumpidamente, desde hace 21 años en Broadway y, desde hace 18, en el West End londinense, acumulando más de 60 millones de espectadores en todo el mundo. No es para menos porque todo sorprende en este montaje: escenografía, vestuario, la orquesta y las voces en directo y el guión. El autor de la música y de las letras de las canciones es el compositor Stephen Schwartz, ganador de tres Oscar y tres premios Grammy. El libreto, de Winnie Holzman, está basado en la novela de Gregory Maguire publicada en 1995. Cuenta la historia de dos jóvenes brujas. Elphaba, la futura Malvada Bruja del Oeste, con gran talento y sentido de la justicia, pero incomprendida y rechazada por la sociedad. Y, Glinda, la futura Bruja Buena del Norte, hermosa, ambiciosa y popular. Pese a una gran rivalidad y desconfianza inicial, ambas acaban entablando una inesperada y profunda amistad, que se ve puesta a prueba dramáticamente. Una historia que amplía y complementa de forma impecable a la célebre novela 'El maravilloso mago de Oz' escrito por el autor estadounidense Frank Baum en 1900. Entrevistamos a Cristina Llorente, que interpreta a Glinda, la Bruja Buena del Norte. 'El sueño de Troya' Entrevistamos a su autor, Alfonso Goizueta, que con 26 años se convirtió en el finalista más joven del premio Planeta con su novela 'La sangre del padre', publicada en 2023. A su corta edad, ya es un escritor de renombre en nuestro país. Ahora nos presenta su nuevo libro: 'El sueño de Troya'. Una ciudad perdida. Un arqueólogo obsesionado. Una historia jamás contada. En un intento por escapar de la vida vacía que le aguarda en Atenas, el joven Nicholas Yannikis se aventura en una expedición arqueológica en la colina de Hisarlik, en el corazón del moribundo Imperio otomano. Allí es donde el ambicioso millonario Heinrich Schliemann y su mujer, la brillante Sofía, afirman haber encontrado las ruinas de la mítica ciudad de Troya, perdida desde la Antigüedad. Sección lingüística "Dicho Queda" Carlota Izquierdo Gil (Instagram: @cigservicioslinguisticos) nos habla sobre unos cuantos recursos literarios llamativos: la anfibología, el calambur, el zeugma y el palíndromo.

fWotD Episode 3081: Georg Karo Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 11 October 2025, is Georg Karo.Georg Heinrich Karo (11 January 1872 – 12 November 1963) was a German archaeologist who specialised in Mycenaean and Etruscan civilisation. He was twice director of the German Archaeological Institute at Athens (DAI), in which capacity he excavated the Mycenaean site of Tiryns and the Temple of Artemis on Corfu. A colleague of Wilhelm Dörpfeld, who had worked with Heinrich Schliemann at Troy, Karo published the findings from Schliemann's excavations of Grave Circle A at Mycenae. The work was considered Karo's greatest contribution to scholarship.Karo was born in a prosperous merchant family; both of his parents were non-practising Jews, who raised him as a Protestant Christian. Initially inclined towards classical philology, he became interested in archaeology as a student of Georg Loeschcke at the University of Bonn. Following the receipt of his doctorate from Bonn in 1896, Karo travelled widely in the Mediterranean region, developing interests in Minoan civilisation, the Etruscans and ancient biblical commentaries. He taught at Bonn between 1902 and 1905, before moving to the DAI in Athens as Dörpfeld's deputy. Known for his urbane manner and fluency in several languages, he became well connected in the international circles of Greek archaeology, and maintained the favour of both the Greek and the German royal families. His outspoken German nationalism led to his dismissal from the DAI in 1916: he spent some time in the Ottoman Empire, where he worked to conserve cultural heritage and was linked with various efforts to appropriate ancient artefacts and bring them to Germany.Karo's views made him unpopular with the Entente-backed government that ruled in Greece after the First World War, and he took an academic post in Germany at the University of Halle, which he held until 1930. That year, he returned to Athens as director of the DAI. Although an early supporter of the Nazi government of Germany, Karo was forced from his post in 1936 by antisemitism against his Jewish ancestry. In 1939, he fled to the United States, supported by American associates including Carl Blegen and Bert Hodge Hill, and obtained a series of visiting professorships at the University of Cincinnati, Oberlin College and Claremont Colleges. He was also accused of collaborating with the Nazi regime: though no evidence for this allegation was found, he was denied US citizenship and listed as an "Enemy Alien". He returned to Germany in 1952, and became an honorary professor at the University of Freiburg.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:31 UTC on Saturday, 11 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Georg Karo on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kajal.

En el programa de hoy se abordó la vida y obra de Heinrich Schliemann, un personaje extraordinario del siglo XIX conocido principalmente por haber descubierto las ruinas de la ciudad de Troya. Se exploró su infancia marcada por la obsesión con los relatos de Homero, su formación autodidacta, su éxito como comerciante y su posterior dedicación a la arqueología. Se relató cómo, guiado por teorías previas, excavó en Turquía y encontró lo que creyó ser la ciudad de Troya, aunque con métodos destructivos que aún generan controversia. También se comentaron sus excavaciones en Micenas, donde adjudicó hallazgos a figuras míticas como Agamenón. A pesar de sus exageraciones y errores, su mayor aporte fue demostrar que los textos de Homero contenían una base histórica. Se reflexionó sobre el tipo humano al que pertenecía Schliemann, figuras impulsadas por la obsesión y la fuerza de voluntad, ya casi imposibles de encontrar en la actualidad.

It is one of the foundational achievements of archaeology, and one of the most momentous discoveries ever made in any field -- We follow the long debate over whether and where the remains of the ancient legendary city of Troy could be found, and we see how the mystery was solved by the excavations overseen by the brilliant, ruthless, and indefatigable German businessman, explorer, and serial liar, Heinrich Schliemann. Pt. 2 will examine how modern scholars and excavators have used the finds from the site in Turkey -- including the long lost priceless "Treasure of Priam" -- to reconstruct the city and its place in the Bronze-Age world.

La guerre de Troie, immortalisée par Homère dans l'Iliade, fascine depuis des siècles. Mais s'agit-il d'un mythe littéraire ou d'un véritable conflit historique ? Depuis longtemps, les historiens et archéologues tentent de démêler la réalité de la légende.Les sources antiques : mythe ou réalité ?L'Iliade, écrite au VIIIe siècle avant J.-C., raconte une guerre entre les Grecs et les Troyens, déclenchée par l'enlèvement d'Hélène par Pâris. Mais ce récit épique, empli d'interventions divines, semble davantage relever de la mythologie que d'un compte rendu historique fiable.Toutefois, d'autres auteurs antiques, comme Hérodote et Thucydide, considéraient que la guerre de Troie avait bien eu lieu, mais sous une forme moins spectaculaire. Ils suggéraient que derrière le mythe, un véritable affrontement avait opposé des cités de la mer Égée à Troie, située en Anatolie (l'actuelle Turquie).Les découvertes archéologiquesAu XIXe siècle, Heinrich Schliemann, un archéologue allemand, met au jour les ruines de Troie sur le site de Hisarlik, en Turquie. Il découvre plusieurs strates de cités superposées, indiquant que Troie a été détruite et reconstruite à plusieurs reprises. Parmi elles, Troie VII, datée autour de 1200 avant J.-C., semble correspondre à la période présumée de la guerre de Troie.Les fouilles ont révélé des traces de destruction par le feu et des armes, suggérant un conflit. Mais qui étaient les assaillants ? Une coalition de cités grecques, comme dans l'Iliade, ou d'autres peuples de la région ? L'absence de preuves directes empêche de trancher définitivement.Une guerre plausible ?À l'époque du Bronze récent, les tensions entre royaumes étaient courantes en Méditerranée. Troie, située près des Détroits des Dardanelles, contrôlait un point stratégique pour le commerce entre l'Europe et l'Asie. Un conflit entre les Mycéniens et les Troyens pour le contrôle de cette route commerciale est donc plausible.Conclusion : mythe ou réalité ?Si l'existence d'une guerre impliquant Troie autour de 1200 avant J.-C. semble probable, rien ne prouve qu'elle s'est déroulée exactement comme dans l'Iliade. L'histoire d'Achille, du cheval de Troie et des dieux reste une légende embellie par les poètes. Mais comme souvent, derrière un mythe, il y a une part de vérité. Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode of the Learn Real Polish podcast, we'll be diving into the fascinating life of Heinrich Schliemann, the legendary archaeologist and polyglot who is best known for his discovery of the ancient city of Troy. I'll talk about Schliemann's unique and highly effective method of learning languages, which combined immersion, intense self-study, and a focus on reading texts in their original languages to master them quickly. As always, I'll make sure to offer you comprehensible input in Polish to help you learn while keeping the topic engaging. Premium members can read the full podcast in Polish.

Vêtu d'un blouson de cuir et coiffé d'un vieux chapeau, le personnage d'Indiana Jones nous est apparu, sous les traits d'Harrison Ford, dans plusieurs films de Steven Spielberg.Mais cet archéologue féru d'aventures aurait été inspiré par un explorateur bien réel, du nom d'Hiram Bingham. Il est vrai que le créateur d'Indiana Jones, le cinéaste George Lucas, a toujours nié cette filiation.Né en 1875, à Hawaï, où son père est pasteur, Hiram Bingham fait des études à l'université de Yale. La chance continue à lui sourire. En effet, il épouse une riche héritière, puis décroche un doctorat d'histoire à Harvard.Hiram Bingham est surtout connu pour avoir découvert, comme Indiana Jones, les ruines d'une cité mythique. En effet, il est le premier Européen à atteindre le sommet du piton rocheux où se dresse, dans les Andes centrales, la fameuse Macchu Picchu, où résidait l'Empereur inca.L'expédition a lieu en 1911 et elle assure la gloire d'Hiram Bingham, alors professeur d'histoire à Yale et spécialisé dans l'histoire de l'Amérique latine.L'homme, en effet, n'est pas seulement un intellectuel rigoureux. C'est aussi un ambitieux, qui rêve de passer à la postérité comme le découvreur d'une cité oubliée. Et il a un modèle : Heinrich Schliemann, qui a retrouvé l'antique Troie.Si personne ne conteste sa découverte à l'archéologue, ses idées, en revanche, ont suscité une certaine controverse. À vrai dire, il défendait, comme la majorité de ses contemporains, une vision colonialiste du passé mais aussi du présent.De fait, il considérait les trésors découverts au Pérou comme le bien légitime des États-Unis. Contrairement à sa promesse, il ne les a jamais rendus.Et il approuvait l'idée très répandue selon laquelle l'Amérique latine était la chasse gardée de son puissant voisin du nord. Il avait même conseillé d'annexer le Mexique.Quoi qu'il en soit, la vie aventureuse d'Hiram Bingham se résume à sa découverte de Macchu Picchu. Une fois rentré chez lui, en effet, il se consacre à la politique et à l'enseignement jusqu'à sa mort, en 1956. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Troja - kaum ein anderer Ausgrabungsort löst so viele Phantasien aus. Es ist aber auch der reale Ort, den Heinrich Schliemann ausgrub. Hat der Mythos eine reale Grundlage? Von Thomas Morawetz (BR 2022)

Days of Our Lives alum, Thaao Penghlis sat down for an interview in The Locher Room to discuss his latest project, “Thaao Penghlis' Lost Treasures,” a thrilling detective story-style exploration of Greece's greatest contribution to the world's literature, the poet Homer.Thaao has been playing two look-a-like villains, Count Tony DiMera and his impersonator Andre DiMera for over 40 years on Days of Our Lives. In addition to his roles on Days, he played Victor Cassidine on General Hospital and Micah DeAngelis on Santa Barbara. He is also well-known for his starring role in the primetime reboot of the Mission: Impossible series.sThe Australian-born star has authored the memoir Places: The Journey of My Days, My Lives, and the cookbook Seducing Celebrities One Meal at a Time.Join the conversation to hear how growing up in Sydney, Australia, Thaao Penghlis always dreamed of becoming an archeologist, dreaming of one day unlocking the secrets of the history of his Greek ancestors. Thaao takes us on his 20-year journey now playing the guide with his new podcast, “Thaao Penghlis' Lost Treasures,” a deep dive into the life of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann.

In 1870 the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann - a man of remarkable energy, desperately fascinated with Helen of Troy - discovered in Turkey the burnt remains of what he claimed to be the legendary city of Troy, and with it, a horde of gold and treasure which he attributed to Helen. Following this breakthrough, he went in search of another, more obscure prize: Mycenae, one of the most powerful city-states in ancient Greece, and the dominion of Agamemnon, husband of Helen's sister, Clytemnestra. A man whose family was dogged by incest, dark curses, vengeance and cannibalism, Agamemnon mercilessly sacrificed his daughter on the eve of the Trojan Wars. But this would unleash a terrible vengeance from Clytemnestra, and set in motion one of the great stories of Greek tragedy… Join Tom and Dominic as they unveil the life of Clytemnestra, one of the most potent and blood-soaked women in Greek mythology, and tell the story of an amateur archaeologist's hunt for her and Helen.

This week, Ben and Pat discuss the fantastical life of Heinrich Schliemann. His life was full of far travels, great riches, bold lies, and even bolder thievery. What was real about the man and what was his own imagination?  Perhaps one of the founding father's of archeology, he discovered the ancient city of Troy, and then sort of blew it up.  A badass at the time, in retrospect, a bit of a mixed bag!

I had a blast chatting with the great Australian-born actor and world-class raconteur, Thaao Penghlis, about his career and creative process.  If you're a fan of NBC's long-running soap opera, Days of Our Lives, then you're also likely to be a fan of Thaao's. He's had a remarkable four-decade, 1500+ episode run on the show playing both the seductively villainous Count Tony DiMera and the Count's evil look-a-like impersonator Andre DiMera. Thaao has earned 3 Emmy nominations for Outstanding Leading Actor and a Soap Opera Digest Award for Favorite Return.Thaao's infamous dual roles are on top of playing a wide-range of characters on various TV series, movies, and plays, including two other daytime series, General Hospital and Santa Barbara, as well as appearances on the 1980's prime time reboot of Mission Impossible, in which Thaao played master-of-disguise Nicholas Black. Other notable appearances include the films Slow Dancing in the Big City, Ken Russell's Altered States, The Bell Jar, Sadat, Sidney Sheldon's Memories of Midnight, Under Siege, Tribe, and as Dame Edna's lover, Colonel Godowni in the cult classic Les Patterson Saves the World. A world traveler and celebrated host of Hollywood dinner parties, Thaao has authored his memoir Places: The Journey of My Days, My Lives, and also the cookbook Seducing Celebrities One Meal at a Time.Thaao, whose family were Greek immigrants to Australia, has poured his passions for all things Greece into a new podcast, The Lost Treasures, a fantastic detective story-style exploration of Greece's greatest contribution to the world's literature, the poet Homer.  The Lost Treasures explores the Iliad and the Odyssey through the amazing life of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who changed history when he discovered the real-life locations and treasures in the epic poems.Written and narrated by Thaao, the podcast draws on his exclusive access to 60,000 pages of long-hidden documents and diaries.

Profitez de cette offre sur Apple Podcasts dès aujourd'hui ! La guerre de Troie voit s'affronter des héros légendaires lors d'un siège de 10 ans devenu mythique. Mais justement, quelle est la part de mythe dans cette histoire ? La guerre de Troie a-t-elle seulement eu lieu ? Virginie Girod mène l'enquête en compagnie de Thierry Piel, maître de conférences en histoire ancienne à l'Université de Nantes, spécialiste des civilisations archaïques du bassin méditerranéen et l'auteur de Troie, portrait historique d'un site mythique (Lemme Edit).Selon la légende, la guerre de Troie aurait opposé une coalition de cités grecques à la ville de Troie, ou Ilion, après l'enlèvement d'Hélène, l'épouse du roi de Sparte, par le troyen Pâris. Le conflit s'achève par la destruction de Troie. L'une des sources majeures qui décrit ce conflit, c'est l'Iliade d'Homère, écrite entre la fin du IXe et le VIIIème siècle av JC. Homère n'est cependant pas un contemporain de la guerre de Troie, il ne fait que reprendre des éléments d'une tradition orale plus ancienne. Par ailleurs, “dans le poème, il n'est question que de 56 jours dans la dixième année de la guerre” rappelle Thierry Piel. Il n'y est donc pas fait allusion à ce qui aurait déclenché le conflit, ni même de la destruction de la ville. Ces éléments nous parviennent d'autres récits qui composent le cycle troyen.Le mythe de la guerre de Troie est si influent dans l'Antiquité que plusieurs cités revendiquent être le lieu de l'affrontement. Il existe ainsi une ville antique nommée Ilion, près du détroit des Dardanelles, dans l'actuelle Turquie. “C'est un lieu de mémoire, (...) on a voulu donner des éléments concrets, fixer des jalons topographiques à cette guerre mythique” explique Thierry Piel. Les Grecs se sont également ingéniés à établir une chronologie de la guerre pour historiciser le mythe, dont la datation estimée fluctue entre le XIVe siècle et le XIe siècle avant Jésus-Christ.Au XVIIIe siècle, l'archéologie naissante se confronte à cette littérature mythologique avec un objectif : trouver l'emplacement de la ville de Troie. En particulier, l'archéologue autodidacte allemand Heinrich Schliemann, dégage officiellement le site à partir de 1871. Mais Schliemann est biaisé : il veut faire correspondre l'Ilion historique, le lieu de mémoire, avec la Troie homérique légendaire. Si on peut observer des traces de destructions à certains niveaux de la ville, rien n'indique pour autant qu'elles correspondent aux événements décrits par Homère. “En aucun cas on ne peut invoquer la guerre de Troie pour tenter de coller à ce qui est un dossier archéologique, et qu'il faut donc distinguer de la mythologie” résume Thierry Piel.Thèmes abordés : mythologie, archéologie, guerre de Troie, Grèce antique "Au cœur de l'histoire" est un podcast Europe 1 Studio- Présentation : Virginie Girod - Production : Nathan Laporte et Caroline Garnier- Réalisation : Clément Ibrahim- Composition de la musique originale : Julien Tharaud - Rédaction et Diffusion : Nathan Laporte- Communication : Marie Corpet- Visuel : Sidonie Mangin

Our guest today is actor and Greek historian Thaao Penghlis.  A role on General Hospital led to his four decades on the NBC daytime drama Days of Our Lives, which has earned him three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Leading Actor and a Soap Opera Digest Award for Favorite Return. He was one of soap's favorite villains. Thaao's acting career went far beyond the soaps as he played master-of-disguise Nicholas Black on the 1989 prime-time revival of Mission: Impossible. He also starred in the miniseries Sadat, appeared opposite Omar Sharif and Jane Seymour in the miniseries adaptation of Sydney Sheldon's Memories of Midnight, played a terrorist in the television film Under Siege with Peter Strauss and Hal Holbrook, and starred with Joanna Cassidy in the miniseries Tribe. One thing remains, is his love of his Greek heritage. The grandson of Greek immigrants who migrated to Australia in the 1940s, Thaao celebrates his heritage in his acting, writing, cooking, travels and now his new podcast, In The Lost Treasures. In The Lost Treasures, he channels his passion for Greek history and culture by exploring the Trilogy of Homer through the life of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who himself changed history by uncovering the real-life locations and treasures in the ancient epic poems. #actor #television #film #soapopera #Greekhistory #archaeology #archaeologicalhistory #ancienthistory #ancientreligion #anceintartifacts #archaeologyartifacts #artifacts #missionimpossible

Noel catches up with Thaao Penghlis. The Australian actor is best known for portraying Tony and Andre DiMera on the daytime soap, Days of our Lives. Thaao got his start on daytime television playing Victor Cassadine on General Hospital. Thaao has now shared his lifelong passion for archaeology and all things Greece into the new podcast, The Lost Treasures. The adventure story explores The Iliad and The Odyssey through the life of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who is considered "The Father of Modern Archaeology." The three-part podcast explores Schliemann, who changed history when he discovered the real-life locations and treasures in the epic poems. In the fourth part, Thaao explains why he embarked on the journey, where he was involved in some near-death experiences.

Atlantis is the ultimate myth of humankind – and it has to be pointed out that ”myth” does not equate to ”made up”. Many truths have been conveyed in mythical form. Troy was considered a mythological place created in Homer's mind until Heinrich Schliemann actually dug up the ancient city in western Turkey in 1870. Historian and independent researcher Michael Le Flem has dug deeper than most into the myth of Atlantis. It is a stretch to say he has managed to dig up the lost world, but the evidence and the indications in his impressive book Visions of Atlantis are both comprehensive and compelling. Le Flem makes reference to basically every known source (including Plato, of course) and many not so known sources. Two of them would be controversial to the mainstream. Frederick Oliver and Edgar Cayce, who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, respectively, were able to psychically channel enormous amounts of information about Atlantis. As strange as this sounds, Oliver and Cayce made technical, scientific and geological references they could not possibly have known about in their ordinary state of awareness. Much of it has since been corroborated by hard evidence, for instance the extinction of megafauna, the cultivation of the Amazon and mastodons roaming on the continental shelves (which were plains 12,000 years ago). ”These things are beyond coincidence”, says Michael. ”The information given by Oliver and Cayce fills in missing pieces from pre-Platonic records.” Some of what they conveyed about the Atlantean civilization is mind-boggling. They described craft that would be called UAPs today. They talked about devices eerily similar to modern-day smartphones. Michael is rigorous in his research, but he is also driven by curiosity and open-mindedness, hallmarks of true science. ”Don't be afraid of the Michael Shermers of this world. They are just annoyed that their little world is being upset”, he says, with reference to one of the leading materialist skeptics. ‼️ Please note that Michael and I plan a part two of this conversation. Due later in the fall. Stay tuned. Michael's website Michael's book Visions of Atlantis The Edgar Cayce organization (AER) Frederick Oliver's book A Dweller on Two Planets

It's one of the greatest runs in television. During his more than four-decade run on Days of Our Lives, Thaao Penghlis has kept the plots twisting and the passions burning by playing two look-a-like villains, Count Tony DiMera and his impersonator Andre DiMera. But the Australian-born star is much more than a guy who knows how to deliver a nasty line and take a woman's slap. A world traveler and celebrated host of Hollywood dinner parties, Penghlis has authored the memoir Places: The Journey of My Days, My Lives, and the cookbook Seducing Celebrities One Meal at a Time. And now this child of Greek immigrants is pouring his own passions for all things Greece into a new podcast, The Lost Treasures, a thrilling detective story-style exploration of Greece's greatest contribution to the world's literature, the poet Homer. In a rollicking Mediterranean-hopping adventure, The Lost Treasurers explores the Iliad and the Odyssey through the amazing life of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who changed history when he discovered the real-life locations and treasures in the epic poems. Written and narrated Penghlis, the podcast draws on his exclusive access to 60,000 pages of long-hidden documents and diaries.  “Against all odds, Heinrich Schliemann proved that the myths of Troy and the myths of Mycenae really happened,” says Penglis. “For more than 20 years, my interest in this subject never waned. Two visits to Troy, five to Greece, I completed the journey. And I'm still wanting more.”   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Daniele Bolelli the fabulous host of “History on Fire” and I fanboy out over archaeology. We had some inexplicable audio problems at times with the recording, so hopefully that doesn't detract from the greatness of the guest.  

Often thought of as an ancient, mythical idea, immortalised in the works of Homer, it's hard to imagine Troy as real place. But when Heinrich Schliemann started excavations of the city in the late 19th Century, our understanding of the ancient world would change forever. Troy stood for over millennia, and in that period was destroyed and rebuilt time and time again. So what do we know about the real people who lived there, and what does the modern archaeology tell us?In today's episode Tristan is joined by Professor C. Brian Rose, the James B. Pritchard Professor of Archaeology at the University of Pennsylvania, to take us through this city's magnificent past. Looking at the people who first occupied the settlement, through to the modern age beauty contests that still take place on the surrounding slopes, there's a wide breadth of history to be covered. So what really happened during the Trojan War, if it actually happened at all?We've teamed up with Collette to provide our North American History Hit Subscribers with the opportunity to join Tristan on a trip to Rome and the Amalfi Coast. You'll spend 3 days exploring all Rome has to offer and then a further 3 days soaking up the history of the Amalfi coast. Follow this link to find out more.

Born to slaves in 1863, John Wesley Gilbert was the first student of the Paine Institute, a graduate of Brown University, and the first black archaeologist.While at Brown, he was awarded a scholarship to study abroad at the American School of Classical studies in Athens, Greece. Here, he helped to shape modern archaeology as we know it today. Working tirelessly, and meticulously on excavations where he helped uncover the ancient city of Eretria, Gilbert also travelled across the country to beautiful ancient sites, and even attended the funeral of Heinrich Schliemann - the man who discovered Troy.In this episode, Tristan is joined by Professor John W.I Lee from UC Santa Barbara to talk about Gilbert's incredible life, and the legacy that he left behind.For more Ancients content, subscribe to our Ancients newsletter here.
