THE SHOWDOWN on Mount Carmel is even more spectacular than we've been taught. The story is sensational on its surface: The prophet Elijah, one of the few prophets of God still active in the northern kingdom of Israel, tells King Ahab to his face that there will be no rain until Elijah says so. Then he flees from the king and hides out for three years. During that time, the prophet was fed by ravens at the brook Cherith somewhere east of the Jordan until the drought caused the stream to dry up. Then Elijah traveled to Phoenicia and lodged with a widow of Zarephath in the region of Sidon. Because of the famine, she was prepared to make one last meal and then starve to death with her son (or children, according to the Septuagint). Miraculously, the woman did not run out of flour or oil during the entire time Elijah stayed with her. The account of the miracle of Elijah bringing the widow's son back from the dead has a deeper meaning when you understand a little of the religion of the Phoenicians (who were Canaanites, which in turn is just a geographic designation for the Amorites in Canaan). The patron deity of Sidon was Eshmun, the Phoenician name for the Greek demigod Asclepius. The Greeks believed Asclepius was the half-divine son of Apollo, a healer of such skill that he was able to cure death. (This led Hades to complain to Zeus that Asclepius was disrupting the natural order of things, so Zeus killed Asclepius.) The point is this: God, through Elijah, demonstrated that He, Yahweh, was the one God who truly has power over life and death. Likewise, Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal has a deeper meaning. This was a literal battle between Yahweh and the Baal worshipped by Jezebel and her pagan father, Ethbaal, king of Tyre. Ethbaal was a priest of Astarte, the Canaanite version of Ishtar, the Babylonian goddess of sex and war (which explains a lot about Jezebel). The kicker is that the Baal of Tyre was probably Melqart, which was the Phoenician name for Herakles—better known to us as Hercules. This explains some of Elijah's taunts while Jezebel's prophets danced, shouted, and cut themselves to summon their small-G god. It also helps us understand why Elijah had twelve vessels of water poured over the sacrifice and the wood on the altar. It didn't just represent the twelve tribes of Israel and make the sacrifice more difficult to burn, it mocked a libation (drink offering) ritual called yarid that is documented in Jewish and Roman texts and inscriptions as late as the 3rd century AD, when Emperor Diocletian performed the yarid at Tyre for Hercules! This also connects to Mount Hermon, where scholars Edward Lipiński and Charles Clermont-Ganneau noted, based on the site drawing by Sir Charles Warren in 1869 (when he discovered the Watcher Stone in a temple near the peak of the mountain), that the summit of Hermon is scooped out like a giant bowl—probably to receive these offerings. Lipiński wrote that this means the Watchers, led by Shemihazah, did not descend in the days of Jared, but in the days when the yarid was performed on the mountain. So, Elijah's actions on Mount Carmel were directed not just at Baal or Melqart/Hercules, but at the “sons of God” who long ago tried to take dominion of Earth away from the children of Adam and Eve.

WHERE DO DEMONS come from? The Book of 1 Enoch answers that question. This week, we discuss Enoch's mission to deliver God's reply to the petition of the rebel Watchers for mercy—not just for them, but for their monstrous offspring, the gigantic Nephilim. In short, God's reply was “no”—the Watchers would not be allowed back into heaven because they'd given up their divine natures and defiled themselves by acting like humans. That's not an insult, it's simply that the Watchers were created for the unseen realm while we are created for the natural world. That's why Jude describes these Watchers as having left their proper domain. Then God decreed the punishment of the giants:  And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men and from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called. (1 Enoch 15:8–10, R.H. Charles translation)Interestingly, this was the understanding of the pagan Greeks. We discuss Hesiod's description of the origin of daimones, from which we get the word “demon,” and the link between Greek demigods like Herakles and the Rephaim of the Canaanites, which were the spirits of the Nephilim.Question of the week: Have you seen the videos of the guy claiming to be the Mahdi and the true successor to Peter—the legitimate pope? (Yes. He's leading a small cult, an offshoot of the Twelver sect of Shia Islam.)

"Bellerophon – Gedichte" - Jan-Eike Hornauer und Uwe Kullnick sprechen mit Christian Dörr – Lyrik on Stage(Hördauer ca. 57 Min.)Den Alten galt der Bellerophon-Mythos gleich dem des Herakles. Meist gerät der Held erst zum Ende in die Verwirrung. In Christian Dörrs Gedichtzyklus tritt sie jedoch auf dem Höhepunkt ein: Mit einem Sturz des Helden vom Pegasos endet der anvisierte Gipfelsturm. Nur das geflügelte Pferd erreicht den Olymp und wird zum Sternbild erhoben. Der Gefallene überlebt den Sturz schwer verletzt, zieht sich von Menschen und Göttern zurück. Wer ihm begegnet, ahnt dennoch, dass er es mit einem besonderen Liebling der Götter zu tun hat.Christian Dörr (*1967 in Wertheim am Main) ist ein deutscher Schriftsteller, Lyriker und Pädagoge. Nach dem Abitur am humanistischen Ludwigsgymnasium München leistete er Zivildienst in der Schwerstbehindertenbetreuung, bevor er an der LMU München Philosophie, Germanistik, Komparatistik und Orientalistik studierte. Prägende Jahre verbrachte er zwischen 1990 und 2005 auf Reisen durch den Mittelmeerraum und Vorderen Orient, insbesondere in Italien, der Türkei und Syrien, wo er sich intensiv mit Sufismus und hinduistischer Mystik auseinandersetzte.2005 gründete er den Verein Hafis e.V., der sich für Bildungschancen junger Migrant:innen einsetzt, und arbeitet parallel als Berufsfindungscoach. Sein literarisches Schaffen umfasst drei Gedichtbände: Melusinen im Kopf (2019) und Buddha in Nachbars Garten (2021) im Anthea Verlag sowie Bellerophon (2022, mit Linolschnitten von Steffen Büchner) in der Lyrik-Edition NEUN. Seine Gedichtfilme, produziert mit Krunoslav Ruf, veröffentlicht er auf seinem YouTube-Kanal „Christian Dörr-Poetrycast“.Dörrs Werk verbindet mythologische Motive (etwa Melusinen oder Bellerophon) mit zeitgenössischen Themen wie Migration und Naturbetrachtung, oft inspiriert von seinen Sehnsuchtsorten Rom und Venedig. Eine unveröffentlichte Übersetzung der indischen Mystikerin Mirabai sowie Kinderlehrbücher für Hafis e.V. runden sein Œuvre ab.Moderatoren Uwe Kullnick und Jan-Eike Hornauer**als Redakteur Lyrik neu hinzugekommen: Jan-Eike Hornauer, geboren 1979, leidenschaftlicher Textzüchter (freier Lektor, Texter, Autor, Herausgeber), wohnt in München.

Aeschylus brings in Io, not part of the original Prometheus story, as a positive female figure replacing Pandora. Turned into a cow and stung by a gadfly, she wanders the world, an innocent sufferer. But from her line will come Herakles or Hercules, who will release Prometheus.

Miksi eri aikakauden kuvataiteilijat ja kuvanveistäjät, kuten sinisestä väristä tunnettu Yves Klein, ovat olleet kiinnostuneita Samothraken Nikestä? Miten hänen tarinansa liittyy Nike-urheilumerkkiin? Mikä hänen merkityksensä on symbolisella tasolla? Kuka hän oli? Antiikin jumalat ovat vaikuttaneet kieleen ja kirjallisuuteen. Miksi puhumme Akilleen kantapäästä? Sinebrychoffin taidemuseo nostaa esille sankaritarinat. Näyttelyssä ovat esillä kreikkalaisen mytologian tunnetuimmat sankarit Herakles, Perseus, Akhilleus, Odysseus, Hektor ja Paris. Nämä hahmot löytyvät kreikkalais-roomalaisesta keramiikasta, veistoksista ja maalauksista. Miksi monet antiikin hahmot ovat olleet esikuvia ihmisille? Sankaritarinoista löytyy inhimillisyyttä, onnea ja tragiikkaa. Millä tavalla näyttely kuvaa antiikin sankarien epäonnistumisia? Marke Ahonen, Mika Perälä & Ville Vuolanto ovat kirjoittaneet teoksen Antiikki ja me. Siinä kysytään, miksi antiikintutkimusta tarvitaan edelleen? Antiikki ja me avaa suomalaista antiikintutkimusta, joka on kansainvälisesti tunnustettua. Kirjoittajat nostavat esille, mitä tiedetään naisista antiikin ajan filosofiassa ja uskonnoissa ja millainen suhde roomalaisilla oli luontoon ja lääketieteeseen. Millä tavalla marmoriveistosten klassinen vartaloideaali on omaksuttu suomalaisessa taiteessa? Ohjelman vieraina ovat kuraattori Claudia de Brün ja antiikintutkijat Marke Ahonen ja Ville Hakanen. Ohjelman juontajana on Pia-Maria Lehtola. Antiikin sankarit, Sinebrychoffin taidemuseo, Helsinki 10.8.2025 asti.

Vi önskar er alla ett gott nytt år och vill tacka för så mycket för det gångna året. Kommentera gärna och berätta vad ni tycker har varit bäst i år. Planeringen inför 2025 pågår för fulla muggar och alla fingervisningar om vad som uppskattas mest är värdefulla för oss. Men först ska avsluta poddåret 2024 men en sjujävla berättelse!Norden har sin egen Herakles. Han kallades Beowulf och enligt det kväde som bär hans namn dräpte han tre monster under sin långa och ärofyllda gärning. Sagan är en av JRR Tolkiens största inspirationer för berättelserna från Midgård.Men Beowulfkvädet är också föremål för en intensiv och ganska illasinnad debatt om huruvida den går att använda som historisk källa. Sagan kommer mycket sannolikt från nordiskt 500-tal innan den skrevs ned i England någon gång på 700-talet. Sagan äger rum på Danmark och innehåller referenser till sveakungar och medeltida krig. Är det sanning eller myt?

En la primera conferencia del ciclo “Hispania romana” el catedrático de Arqueología de Grecia y Roma de la Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Joaquín Ruiz de Arbulo, aborda la llegada y el control de Roma sobre la península ibérica. Entre los siglos IX y VI a. C., fenicios, púnicos y griegos comerciaron y fundaron ciudades en la península ibérica, facilitando la transición a la Edad de Hierro. Tras la primera guerra púnica, el ataque del cartaginés Aníbal a la ciudad romana de Sagunto culminó en una nueva guerra entre Cartago y Roma que inició el dominio romano sobre las sociedades ibéricas.

Es geht weiter mit der Fahrt der Argonauten auf der Suche nach dem goldenen Vlies und in dieser Folge kommt es zu einigen Missverständnissen. Jason und seine Mannschaft werden von Kyzikos und den Dolionen gastfreundlich empfangen, doch einige sechsarmige Riesen, die “Erdgeborenen” Gegeneis werden von Hera aufgepeitscht und greifen an. Dann töten die Argonauten versehentlich die Falschen, vergessen kurz darauf auch noch Herakles und müssen ohne ihn weiterfahren. Triggerwarnung: Diese Episode behandelt Themen wie Krieg und Suizid.

Welcome Back to the Ba'al Busters Community. M-F 8am - 10am Pacific on FTJMedia.com and RumbleToday, 8.27.2024, WE the Ba'al Busters People will continue to illustrate the outright lie of history as it pertains to biblical claims. Origins, characters, themes, and achievements have been falsely credited to those who LIE about everything else. This will further prove the stories were stolen and that the Torah is much younger than we were led to believe. Why is it important? Because this very religious construct is being used as a powerful tool of control and deception with the aims of killing the very followers who support it. Abrahamic cults are champing at the bit.

Like most people, writer and filmmaker Jack Kelley thought Plato's account of Atlantis was just an allegory when he, during a vacation on the Greek island of Santorini, was drawn into a world of research that takes the Platonic story seriously. Even in that world, however, there are diverging opinions about the location of the lost civilization. Jack came across the work of Greek engineer and linguist George Sarantitis and thought: “This guy might actually have cracked it.” He made contact, and the collaboration that followed resulted in the newly released documentary The Atlantis Puzzle, based on Sarantits' groundbreaking findings (watch and give a review here or here). Taking Plato's account seriously is controversial. “The very idea of Atlantis is frightening to mainstream academic researchers. They could easily end up looking like fools. The risk-reward is not there. That keeps a lot of first-class minds from seriously addressing what this subject is really about. And Sarantitis is a first-class mind”, Jack says. George Sarantitis refused to believe the two Plato dialogues Timaeus and Critias, where Atlantis is discussed, were just nonsense fables. He retranslated the texts and realized that important concepts had been misinterpreted for centuries. For example, an ‘Atlantic pelagos' does not mean ‘The Atlantic ocean'. ‘Pelagos' is a lesser sea. Earlier translators had only made an assumption, because nobody had ever heard of an ‘Atlantic pelagos'. Sarantitis found a few other things that hadn't been well delineated. For instance, three words for ‘island' are being thrown around. This retranslation led him to the conclusion that ‘the pillars of Herakles', a crucial reference, probably doesn't mean the strait of Gibraltar, which completely changes the idea of where Atlantis may have been located. Sarantitis' surprising hypothesis is that the ‘pelagos' was a series of navigable inland megalakes in northwest Africa where one could sail to the empire known as Atlantis. It is a fact that there are a series of huge salt lakes in the area that indicate that there was once a large body of water, and we now know that the Sahara was a lot wetter at the time Plato points to. Then there is the much-talked-about Richat structure, the ‘Eye of the Sahara', which well matches Plato's description of the Atlantean capital. So, if there was a civilization in this area, why did it disappear? If the extreme climatological changes during the latter part of the Younger Dryas (matches Plato's time frame) were accompanied by earthquakes, tsunamis and other geophysical disasters, a civilizational collapse is plausible. Jack engaged preeminent earthquake expert Dr Scott Ashford for the documentary. “According to Ashford, Plato is accurately describing what the effects of the combination of these natural disasters would have been”, Jack says. Was Atlantis advanced? In Jack's mind, it was sort of advanced for its time but probably more of a hunter-gatherer than a bronze age kind of society. He does not subscribe to the more grand theories out there. But he does give other independent researchers credit for pushing the idea that mainstream academia is ignoring many signs of lost human worlds in lands that are now below water, not just the one Plato is talking about. There are hundreds of ancient flood myths, for example. “Clearly there were kingdoms, tribes, even empires that we don't have any names for today”, Jack says.

In der griechischen Mythologie gibt es einen Hund namens Kerberos. Dieser bewachte den Eingang zur Unterwelt, dem Totenreich und stellte sicher, dass kein Toter heraus ging und kein Lebender hineinkam. Das tat er bis zum Tag, als Herakles - bekannt auch als Herkules - kam und ihn überwältigte. Er würgte und fesselte ihn. Natürlich erinnert mich diese Geschichte an das, was wir an Ostern feiern - dass Jesus mit seinem Leiden und Sterben und der anschliessenden Auferstehung den Teufel besiegt hat und uns so ewiges Leben ermöglicht und damit auch den Zugang freimacht - nicht zur Unterwelt, sondern in die Ewigkeit, einen Ort, der als neue, nicht der Vergänglichkeit unterworfenen Schöpfung in der Bibel vorgestellt wird. Während Herakles seine eigene Kraft, Mut und Schlauheit einsetzte für seine Heldentat, handelte Jesus aus Liebe und gab sich selbst hin. Von Herakles ist nur noch der Mythos übrig, von Jesus wissen wir, dass er lebt und wiederkommt.

WE CONTINUE our deep dive into the leader of the Genesis 6 rebellion, who we believe is “the angel of the bottomless pit” (Rev. 9:11), Apollyon/Abaddon.Why, when we studied Revelation 9 more than a year ago? Because our research has led us to conclude that the chief of the rebellious Watchers, called Shemihazah in the Book of 1 Enoch, was worshipped throughout the ancient Near East and classical Greece and Rome under the names Saturn, Kronos, El, Enlil, Milcom (Molech), Assur, Dagon, Osiris, and others.In particular, we look at El and Kronos, and their connections to bovid imagery. El's main epithet (nickname) was “Bull El,” and the name Kronos probably derives from a Semitic word, qarnu, that means “horns.” In fact, the name of the gods over which Kronos ruled, the Titans, also comes from a Semitic language: It was the name of an Amorite tribe, the Tidanu, who were eventually worshipped by the Canaanites as underworld entities linked to the Rephaim—which is where the Greeks got the concept of their demigod heroes like Herakles and Perseus!In short, this “king of the god-gate” (“king of Babylon” in Isaiah 14) inspired the Amorites, who originated in Syria near a mountain called Jebel Diddi (“Mount Titan”), to spread the worship of this fallen angel chained up in the bottomless pit to nearly every land around the Israelites. And this, we think, is what God had in mind when he mentioned “the iniquity of the Amorites” to Abraham nearly 4,000 years ago.

James Delingpole is a writer, journalist, broadcaster, podcaster and columnist who has written for a number of publications, including the Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Times, The Daily Telegraph, and The Spectator. He writes regularly for Breitbart London and has also published several novels and political books. James has published articles rejecting the scientific consensus on climate change and he has not been silent in these current crazy times, a fountain of knowledge and common sense when it comes to COVID, The Great Reset, conspiracies and tyrannical political control. And not forgetting, he is the host of the brilliant, popular and ever entertaining podcast, The Delingpod..... which can be found on all good podcast apps. Connect with James at the links below...

I certainly enjoy it on Rumble, but I'll let the viewers and listeners choose their preferred platform to watch your many interviews. Now, James, I wanted to have you on. Actually, as I mentioned to you before we went on, it was chatting to Dick at the Comcast event at the beginning of the year. And the issue of faith came up in one after one of the sessions over a few drinks. So I was curious and wanted you to come on. I know there's something you've talked about, but maybe if I can step back a little bit and ask you what was your background kind of growing up in terms of faith and church? I have probably the classic background for a certain kind of Englishman, let's say. So I went to a prep school where we had chapel seven days a week, twice on Sundays, and then I went to a public school where there was a fairly similar arrangement. And I went to church at Christmas and possibly Easter. I think at the time I didn't really know it, but I was what I would probably call now a cultural Christian. I believed in the Church of England as a kind of institution, as part of the fabric of our heritage, you know, you had all the beautiful churches run about the country. You had the vicar judging the marrows in the village fete and more tea vicar. And the church was there for when you got married and when you got buried, when you got christened. And this was part of the sort of the ritual formality that binds our country. I still respect that element, although I think it's greatly diminished in our culture. But in what you might call my normie days, I would have made a very good case, for the cultural importance of Christianity and of the Church of England, and just sort of giving a degree of shape and meaning to our lives. But what I didn't really, I didn't, I wouldn't say I was an atheist. I know I wasn't an atheist, because when I was at my prep school, I remember arriving at my prep school, I would have been about eight. And you get dropped off by your parents. And then the headmaster and headmistress pretend to be all friendly, like they do in front of your parents. And then your parents go. And then suddenly, you are. It's like being in prison. It really is like being in prison. You are shown to your dormitory. And your bed is not the comfy bed you had at home, where mommy kind of tucked you in and read you a story. It's this grim prison bed with this lumpy mattress and these scratchy blankets. And you're in a dormitory with these boys who, some of them, are crying in their pillows and stuff. And I remember that first night. And what do you do? I remember saying my prayers. Because I'd seen my dad, when I was very, very young, one of my earliest memories is going into my parents' bedroom and seeing my father kneeling down by his bed every night. He said his prayers. And so for me, it was something that you did. So I said my prayers. And I wonder now, looking back, whether a bit like, I think that I did myself a lot of good later on in life by being a cross-country runner at school. When you develop your lung capacity and your stamina at that age, it stands you in good stead for later life. And in a way, I wonder whether my prayers put me on the right footing, with God. And I suppose, did I say my prayers when I was at my public school at Morven? Probably I did. But as you know, there is a massive, there is a sort of cultural cringe towards Christianity, which I now understand is the work of the devil. You know, if you are the devil and the devil does exist. If you are the devil and you've got this institution, Christianity. How are you going to undermine it? Well, I think if you attack it head-on, what you're probably going to find is that people are going to resist and they're going to defend it. It's a bit like when big government pushes too hard. I just done a podcast with somebody who's, sorry, excuse my digressions here, but I quite like a digression. I just done a podcast with Monica Smit and Monica Smit, got, did 23 days in solitary confinement in an Australian prison cell because this punishment for resisting all the kind of vaccine mandates. And she was describing what it was like in the the state of Victoria, which, of all the places in the West, had about the most draconian COVID regulations anywhere in the world. And she said that there was a protest outside the state parliament in Victoria, in Melbourne. Which attracted 600,000 people, 600,000 people. The population, I think, of Victoria is 6 million. So when you discount all the people who were too young to attend or too old to attend, she reckoned it was probably about half of the state was up in arms against it. Because Dan Andrews, their wicked premier, pushed too hard. And I think it's the same where the devil knows this. The devil's a clever fellow. So he knows that if you want to undermine Christianity, you don't attack it head on. What you do is you make it this slightly embarrassing, uncool thing. And you infiltrate the church by making sure that you get priests, clerics, who don't really, they think that Christianity needs updating. You know, that Bible stuff, it's so old-fashioned. It's just like, they're not really. They're not very progressive on issues like homosexuality. And really, you need kind of gay marriage to, because the Bible was, happened a long time ago, and we've moved on since then. And also, you need, instead of psalms and robust hymns written by Charles Wesley with Jolly Tunes, what you need is people strumming guitars. And you need to rewrite the service book. So instead of having the old liturgy with its robust, sonorous, and beautiful language. You replace it with this touchy-feely, limp, toe rag, limp dishcloth stuff that's designed to make you feel awkward and embarrassed and to take you away from the numinous, from the spiritual side of things, which is the only side that really eats. In fact, what you do is you keep the religion, but you remove God. You remove the key element. And one of the things that's really excited me about my sort of discovery or rediscovery of Christianity is to realize that the supernatural element, the element which has largely been written out of Christianity in our secular culture, is the stuff that really matters. Because God is real. God created the Earth. I mean, despite what we're taught at schools, we're taught evolutionary theory is evolutionary fact. And it just doesn't stand up when you look into it. So my journey of faith has been rediscovering that God is real, that angels are real. Two of my followers, whatever we want to call them, have seen angels. I know demons are real. There's a friend of mine who can actually see the demons feeding off people. They harvest our emotional energy. Once you understand that this earthly world, the materium, is merely a kind of Earth-bound reflection of what is happening above in the spiritual realm, Only then do you really understand the nature of reality. Can I, I agree on that? When I talk to atheists, I say, I wish I had your faith to believe in nothing. When you see the complexity of the world.  Yeah, that's a good one. But can you, I'm assuming that when you left school, you kind of left that behind. I'm hearing kind of your faith as in prayer, that ritual was part of the education, but when you finish education, you left that behind, or did you keep some of that? More or less, more or less. I had an interesting period where, when I had children. And every parent goes through this, how do you get your child into a school that is not totally shit, that is not going to break the bank. So in the early days, most of us, can't afford private education for our children. I mean, I did go private later on, but by various means, you know, sort of bursaries and helpful relatives and things like that. But you think, okay, well, got to get them into it, ideally a church. I can't do a Catholic school, because I'm not a Catholic, but Church of England Primary. And quite a lot of Church of England Primary schools know they've got you by the balls. They know that this is a way of enforcing church attendance among parents. So then it came down to what? Most churches are really grim places. And I mean, talking back then, the modern equivalent of talking about Zelensky and climate change, that they've got all these values which have nothing to do with Christianity. So you think, well, and some of them have really long services as well, really, really boring services. Luckily, we had family connections, traditions with a fantastic church called Chelsea Old Church on the embankment. It was Thomas Moore's church, I think. So lots of people have worshipped there. And it had a really good vicar called Peter Elvey. And Peter Elvey and his marvellous assistant, Susan Gaskell, who was this, she liked to sort of have a glass of champagne at 11 in the morning and with a few cigarettes. She was proper old school. And the congregation was really quite pucker. And this appealed to my snobbery apart from anything else. And I like the fact this is an old church. And I think it used the Book of Common Prayer, I think. But they had this great children's service. And in the middle of the service, they had a really good dressing up box. And if you were lucky, your children would be selected to act out whatever the day's scripture, what the day's reading was. And I started taking part in organizing this. And sometimes I would do some of the quizzes where you'd quiz the children on what been said in the story, and testing them, and throwing mini Mars bars to the child who got it. So I quite liked this. I didn't become a God-botherer.  So this was your first, what, this may be 15 years ago, whatever. This is your first step back into the church, is it?  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly, exactly. But it reminded me of some of the things that are good about the church. But more, Do you know what, at the time I justified this to myself more on, I remember going back to my school, back to Malvern, and talking to one of the few staff that remained from my period there. He was a history teacher, and he was describing to me how children would come up, would start at, 13 year olds would arrive at the school, and none of them would know basic things like the biblical stories, which I think are one of the bedrocks of our culture. And this really matters to me. I mean, regardless of what you think about the spiritual element, we are a Christian country. Our literature, for example, which is possibly our greatest artistic speciality, if you like. Our literature is steeped in religious learning. I mean, I studied The Dream of the Rude. Anglo-Saxon poetry is all about Christ and the cross and stuff. And then you go through to Chaucer and Shakespeare and so on. Milton, obviously. They all have an understanding, they all write on the assumption that their audience knows things like the water into wine and all the stories. And I found it shocking that I was living in a world where this stuff had been written out of our history. Probably the generation after mine is the first generation in a thousand or more years that doesn't understand the basics of the Bible. And that was shocking. So I saw it as a cultural thing. I thought it was part of my children's education, number one. And probably also at the time, I believed something which I do not believe now. I thought that the great clash of, the great war, if you like, was between Christianity and fundamentalist Islam. I didn't realize that almost all alleged Muslim attacks are actually false flag operations masterminded by the dark side. So I thought, it's Lord of the Rings time. There is evil out there, and we can see what the evil looks like. And we've got to know what side we're on. We're on the side of Judeo-Christian culture, as I would have called it at the time. So I saw it as a cultural thing rather than as a spiritual thing. So there came a point, I want to pick up on that, cultural Christianity near the end, because it's something I've been pondering about a lot, listening to a lot of commentators. But for you, you talked about going back to church. Then was there a wake-up point, or is it gradually, when you begun to realize, actually the Bible is true, God is real, and that then requires a response from me.  That came later. So, about just before the fake pandemic craziness, I got very invested in Donald Trump. I thought that Donald Trump was was going to save us. I don't think that anymore. I don't believe there are any white hats. I think they're all compromised. But at the time, I sensed that something was very, very, very wrong with the world. And I think a lot of people who go down the rabbit hole have this traumatic experience in some way, whether it's somebody who's had all their money taken away by the banks, that they thought banks were respectable, or whatever. My own trauma was seeing the leadership of the free world, as I believed it was then, stolen in real time by skulduggery of such breath-taking overtness. It was so blatant. And I saw the entirety of the media, which I'd thought of as a journalist of 30 years, I thought, well, the media's job is to speak truth to power and all the things that Toby Young still believes in. I thought, well, the media will never allow this to happen. They're going to point out all this blatant stuff, ballot papers being discovered by the lorry load, filled in and stuff, and footage from the various counting stations and so on. Anyway, it didn't happen. I saw that the mainstream media, which I trusted to tell the truth, was gaslighting everyone, into believing that actually this was normal and that this senile, incontinent crook in the pay of communist China and stuff, who'd never even gone on the road because his handlers couldn't bear to let such a liability anywhere near the electorate, that somehow this guy Joe Biden had won and worst of all was all the people I'd thought of as my comrades in arms, the people who I thought of as the band of brothers who were going to fight with me in the foxholes alongside me, and I could trust them to guard my flanks because we were all in this one together, that great battle for freedom, for truth, they were participating in this lie. And it was a real, real, OK. I mean, I was desperately naïve. I think most of us are, though. I think because we're subject to this brainwashing process from the earliest stage. Our parents, who know no better, tell us. And then our schools brainwash us. And then the media brainwashes. And the entertainment industry brainwashes us. So it was really, and I went through this period of about three months where, I mean, I almost had a breakdown, actually. And then you start looking into various other things, trying to make sense of the world. And you realize that the whole world is a lie and an illusion, and that there are really, really bad people in charge. And that is the stage where you go from red-pilled to black-pilled. You think, we are totally stuffed. But then, parallel to this, there were various awakening moments. So I started noticing in my podcast that I was starting to talk about that I was, I started mentioning God more, and I was starting to talk about being on a mission from God. And I said it half flippantly. But I began to realize that actually, no, I wasn't saying this flippantly at all. I remember doing a podcast with Jamie Franklin from a Irreverend Pod. Yeah. And Jamie said to me, you know, I've noticed that some of the language you've started using is really quite, you know, religious, Christian in its overtones. And I thought, yeah, you're right, Jamie. What's going on here? There were a few other things, because it didn't... there wasn't a... A saw line moment of sort of blinding realization. It wasn't as simple as that. I remember I did a podcast with Jerry Marzynski, the psychiatrist from Arizona who'd worked a lot with paranoid schizophrenic in high security hospitals and prisons. And it's worth listening to the two podcasts I did with him, but Jerry, unlike most psychiatrists or prison shrinks, who'd prefer to dose their patients with chemical cosh's and just like, you know, turn them into zombies. He actually took the trouble to listen to what they were saying about the voices in their heads. And he discovered there was remarkable consistency in what the voices in the heads were saying was the sort of thing that demons would say, because these things are demons. And he found that the most effective treatment of these demons was the 23rd Psalm. So I thought that's interesting. I get kind of voices in my head, not demonic voices. Well, I mean, I think they are demonic voices. But I think when you say to yourself things like, God, you're such an idiot. I bloody hate you, you bastard, you stupid. I hate you. You really you'd be better off dead. You should die. I hate you. I used to get that all the time, especially after nights drinking, whatever, and stuff. So I started learning the 23rd Psalm, and then I learned Psalm 91. And then I thought, I quite like these Psalms. And what I found was that the Psalms made me based, for want of a better word, the Psalms are a great solace. And it's not without reason, I think, that novice monks, the first job when they joined the monastery was to learn the Psalter. They learned the whole lot, all 150 of the Psalms. The enemy, the forces of darkness, the Russell Brands of this world, they use words. They use words like spells, and the dark side uses spells. Christians too have spells, but we don't call them spells, because that's what they are. They are a form of magic, but they're holy magic. And when you say the Psalms, it gives you... you put on the whole armour of God. They protect you. They protect you from the dark forces. And I mean, There were other moments too. I found that I would have moments where... I didn't have a voice saying, I am God, and thou art my chosen one to go. But I do very much feel, really, really feel, that I've been given a mission, a purpose.  And my purpose is twofold. It's one to red pill people, and one to white pill people. And I feel really, really comfortable about that. I don't feel at all embarrassed about talking about Christianity. When I go out into the world, when I'm hunting, for example, and the fact that I go hunting pisses some people off. And I say to them, OK, I wrote a piece about this on Substack once. I say, the world is controlled by Satanists who sacrifice children to the devil, and you're worried about fox hunting. Get real. I think anyone who's against fox hunting is not actually fit to be properly awake, so they don't get it. They don't get that the war on hunting is part of the forces of darkness's war on humanity generally, on us ordinary people. If you saw how communities are bound by rural communities, economically they're bound, socially they're bound, the qualities that they instil in the people who do it, you know, courage, camaraderie, a love of the countryside, you know, we even love the fox for goodness sake, I mean, because the fox is a key part of the deal and we respect the fox, we like the fox, the fox is our quarry, okay, he's our enemy in the sense that he trashes chickens and stuff, and if you've seen the hen house after a fox has been in there, it's carnage. Everything that's going on in the world right now is a war on humanity, and we are created in God's image. And that is why they do it. That is why they divide us in all sorts of ways, whether it's through religious schisms, whether it's through things like animal rights, a division between artificial entirely, I think, created by propaganda, between meat-eaters and non-meat-eaters. Almost every division in society is created by the forces of darkness to divide. I think, left to our own devices, we'd all get on really quite well. We wouldn't have wars. We definitely would not have wars. Wars are all engineered by a tiny, tiny, tiny satanic, class. Where am I going with this? I can't remember what the question was. Actually, on the Psalms, you talk about the Psalms, reading the 23rd Plasms, 91st and others. You've just started a series on the Psalms. Gavin Ashenden, I think, was the second one I watched that. That's intriguing because the only other person, I think I've seen Alistair Williams do, kind of looking at different parts of the Bible. It's something that's frowned upon, as you said, frowned upon in the UK. It's not the American right that where people are fairly open about faith, whether it's real or not. So what led you to actually going through the Psalms and talking about it? Because that's quite a step change. It puts you out there, makes you vulnerable. It's outside your lane, all of that stuff.  Yeah. They came about me like bees, which are extinct, even as the fire among the thorns. How could you not respond to language like that? I mean, the language of the liturgy is up there with Shakespeare. It was written about the same period. I mean, I just quoted, I hope accurately, the psalm I'm just learning, which is Psalm 118. The one I've been using is, I started out using the King James versions of the version of Psalm 23, and then just KJV. But then a lot of the psalm translations in KJV borrow quite heavily from Myles Coverdale, who was translating them about 50 or 60 years earlier. And I think there's a greater charm in his translations. And so those are the ones used in the Book of Common Prayer, which were were the psalms I learned at prep school, or the psalms we sang at prep school. And I remember at school. And I was thinking, why? Why are we singing these dirgy, I mean, OK, some of the hymns are bad enough. But the psalms, you didn't really know what the point of them was. They were just, but looking back, I'm glad that I've got these phrases lodged in my head, which I was, it was like having a kind of Proust-Madeleine moment where I came back to learning these psalms and recognizing these familiar phrases which I'd resented singing at school or sort of croaking at school, you know, the fowls of the air and the fishes of the sea, and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the sea, so Lord our governor, Herakles, which is my name, in all the world. There was a point, and I doubt even the head of music, who was also one of the school's benders, who used to molest us, I'm sure was the case in most prep schools. Everyone had a kind of molesty master. I doubt he was much of a Christian, not least because he introduced with relish the alternative service book of the 1970s, that horrible yellow band thing with the horrible modern liturgy. So he was probably part of Satan's mission. But anyway, unwittingly, he inculcated us with the language of Miles Coverdale, which has stayed with me since. The Psalms are as, I mean, I'd love to be able to speak Hebrew and read them in the original Hebrew. But certainly in their translation by Coverdale and the team that put together the King James version. They work as literature. They also work as a form of solace, because what they do is tell you that however bad things may get, God is there for you. They're kind of like an instruction manual. It is better to trust in the Lord than put any confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than put any confidence in princes. I mean, if you learn those two lines, in fact, one of them would do, it'd be a very good manual for living out your life, because you wouldn't be putting your trust in Russell Brand. You wouldn't be putting your trust in Donald Trump. you wouldn't be trusting, you just remind yourself that the most important thing is God. And the better your relationship with God, the better life you have. Because God works his holy magic. I mean, all Christians can testify this. All real Christians know that this stuff is not imaginary, that there are ways that God helps you, that the supernatural, the crazy stuff works. And the Psalms were a daily reminder of this. And so if you can ideally learn them, because you inhabit them more thoroughly than you do when you're reading them. I mean, I have a treasury of poetry in my head as well. I learned a representative poem by pretty much all our great poets. I mean, I don't practice them as much now because I'm too busy reciting the psalms in my head. But when you learn poetry, with your stumbling process by which you memorize these poems and you get it wrong, you actually go through the process the poet went through when he was writing this poem. And in the same way, I think when you learn the psalms, you, well, you inhabit them, and they inhabit you, and that is a lovely thing to have running through you every day. Yeah, because there are numerous times in the Psalms where it says, tell my soul, speak to my soul, and it is a framework. It changes your focus, not only the Psalms, but Proverbs, a guide for living, and whatever you're going through personally, that is what gives you hope, and you're right. If you soak in that, you're infused with that, then that affects what you do. They have direct practical uses as well. For example, Psalm 91, which is a warrior's psalm. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flyeth by day, nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee.". This, I understand, is the prayer recited by the US Marine Corps when they go into action, and probably many other soldiers as well. And it protects you. It protects you. So that's a good psalm to have up your sleeve.  You talk about confidence in what the Bible teaches about taking that on and that becomes who you are. I'm curious because when I look at the Church of England and doubt and how that fits, I mean I grew up a pastor's kid, Baptist church, it was certainty, it was absolute, you knew what you believed. Then you look at the Church of England and kind of there's a lot of fear of offending, and I guess doubt becomes a virtue. I'm intrigued with that, where I like the absolute uncertainty that parts of the church bring to the Bible, it is the Word of God, it is true, where The Church of England  seems to struggle with that sense of truth. Well, I don't think it's just the Church of England. I think that all the, well certainly, the Roman Catholic Church, certainly the Church of England, probably most churches, have been infiltrated by the forces of darkness. Obviously, as you would. I mean, if you were devil, it would be your key target. The Pope is the anti-Pope. The Pope is definitely batting for the wrong team. So is Welby. And yet, I quite like, I'm quite enjoying the fact at the moment that I am a sort of floating voter in that notionally I'm C of E. But I find much that is good in the Calvinists I speak to and in the Catholics, particularly the Latin mass. And it enables me, I think, to speak to all Christians rather than... I mean, I love the Orthodox Church. You're like, wow, I'd quite like to be an Orthodox monk on Mount Athos. But-  We could do that together. That'd be good fun.  It'd be fun. It saddens me that there are these- you see it on my telegram channels, that the Baptists and so on, and the Calvinists and whatever, they think that Catholicism isn't really Christianity because they accuse them of worshipping Mary and saying prayers to saints and stuff. And it's a throwback to the emperor Constantine. He never really converted to Christianity. That was just fake. And what he did was he borrowed all the kind of pagan goddesses and you know all this and I'm thinking... God. I don't want to speak for God. But I have a feeling that God is looking at these schisms and going, guys, lighten up, will you? You're all doing pretty much the right thing. I don't believe that he is so picky, that he is saying, well, the Catholics, they are pagans. Look at at the Asherah pole they've got standing in the middle of St. Peter's Square. How can they not? The other thing I've noticed about becoming a Christian, is that the upside is the church, the broad church, the joy you get talking to Christians about Christianity. So the other day I went riding and you're going to be on a horse talking to people for the next couple of hours if you're out on the hack. And some of them are boring, some of them are not. So met these people and two women up from London and I said to one of them. And what's your name and she said I'm called Mariam I said Mariam oh that's an interesting name. It sounds a bit... Ethiopian.  She said, I'm not Ethiopian. I'm originally from a Muslim background. I said, all right. Yeah, well, Mariam, yeah, I've heard it a lot. It's sort of the Copts. I kind of like the Coptic church. It's really old. And I didn't mention that they've got the Ark of the Covenant somewhere hidden in Ethiopia. But I said, yeah, I'm really interested in Christianity. It's just, I think, endlessly fascinating. She said, are you? I said, yeah, yeah, yeah. Can't get enough of it. And she said, I was baptized three months ago. And I said, oh, wow. So the whole of the rest of the ride, we had this great talk about God. So that's what I love about Christianity, the fellowship. [The downside is that you get lots of really annoying Christians who do things like telling you, hinting that you're not really Christian enough, or correcting you on sort of doctrinal inaccuracies. I've got views that I know are heretical. I'm not going to talk about them here, because I don't want to get stick from... But look, I think that you listen to the the words of Jesus. You follow the Psalms. You've got the creed to keep you on the straight and narrow. Go to church if you can. Take communion if you can. We're all on the same team, I think. Can I pick up, just to finish on that cultural Christianity, which has been in my head for a couple of years watching different commentators, politicians, probably more stateside, they kind of, they yearn for those days whenever Christianity gave a moral framework, I guess, and they seem to want the idea that Christianity brings without having the person of Christ. And I enjoy watching conservative commentators struggle with that, that they want this but they don't. And it's like something is so attractive, it looks good, but yet that relationship with Jesus, that actually calls them back. Yeah, I mean, didn't Tony Blair claim to be a Catholic once? I have my suspicions about other conservative MPs who go big on their Catholicism. In fact, I have my severe doubts about any of the MPs who play the Christian card, because I think they're all basically working for the other side. I think what we saw during... I hate to use the word COVID like it was real. But what we saw was the puppets of Satan just doing the devil's work to the people, trusting people who thought these were their elected representatives. I don't think that I, it's not for me to judge, but I don't think there are many MPs, any politicians anywhere in the world who are not going to burn in hell. But what does that, because I know, I think Thierry Baudet was with you a while ago, and he talked about the Natcon conference. And he was fairly dismissive of that actually being conservative and not only the big issues, but actually what I took away looking at some of those was that Christianity no longer plays a part in those circles, apart from lip service. Is that a fair enough assessment or disagree with that?  Totally. Yeah, I mean, Natcon is definitely another example of the devil at work. Yeah, yeah. I mean, name me an MP, a politician of any hue, who talks about real Christianity, as opposed to Erzat's Christianity. Yeah, they might like the values. None of those values involve actually believing in God. I mean, can you imagine if you asked any of them about how the world was made? All they'd be doing is thinking of the headline that X believes that, lol, the world was made by God. Come on, everyone knows that evolution is how. was Big Bang and then there was this apparently Charles Darwin tells us, you know, one of the greatest Britons as named by the BBC, so it must be true, They wouldn't go there, they just couldn't cope with it. Oh a hundred percent. I had Eric Metaxas on once talking about the death of atheism and it's a phenomenal book going into the none of this can be luck and chance, none of it, the complexity of, the world. Just a quick question, what about push back on you because you're not supposed to have a series on the Psalms on your channel, that's just not done here. Kind of what pushback, have people say, James, get back to discussing COVID the last three years. Oh, it's no, no, do you know what? I don't get much of that. I get more, I get the occasional commentator, who has clearly been following me for a very long time in my, in my normie phase where I believed in things like the war on terror stuff. And they're looking at me now and thinking this guy has lost the plot. He thinks it's a conspiracy and what's more, he thinks the devil's kind of running the show. He needs to, you know, hasn't he read any history books? Surely he knows that it was the North Vietnamese that started the Vietnam War, you know, with their... Torpedo boat attack on the U.S. fleet. So their reference points are reference points of those trapped in the beast system. All the history books are written for the devil's party. All the politicians work for the devil's party. It's everywhere. Look, it says in 2 Corinthians, doesn't it? That Satan is the god of this world. And unless and until you understand that. You are missing the biggest piece in the jigsaw. You're never going to get it. You can be right about vaccines, that they're bad for you, and you can be right about the importance of bodily autonomy and stuff. You stand up all these principal things, but until you understand that this is a war between good and evil, which has taken place since the beginning of our time on this earth, you really don't get it at all, frankly.  100 percent. That is the piece of the jigsaw people have to get to understand everything else. James, I appreciate you coming on. As I said at the beginning, I've been wanting to have this conversation with you and unpacking, so thanks so much for coming along and sharing your story with us.  Well thank you very much, I really enjoyed talking about it, part of my holy mission from God.  Thank you, I think the last guest you had on the Delingpod, just for the viewers and listeners that haven't seen, I think was Abi Roberts. And we had her on after she got arrested for swearing, and Abi is a force of nature, so if people want to catch the latest one, it is Abi Roberts on the Delingpod, everywhere and anywhere. So, James, thanks so much for your time today.  Thanks, Peter.

In this episode we explore the first water sign of the Zodiac: Cancer. Ruled by the moon, Cancer is linked to the archetypal mother and so rules over the lunar side of our consciousness; fluid, emotional, imaginal, creative, nurturing and receptive.As this 'night world' consciousness responds best to images, sounds and sense impressions, the episode begins with a look at a few Cancerian artists; DJ Shadow and Frida Kahlo. We then settle in to a look at Cancer key words and ideas, followed by a deep dive into the crab itself as it scuttles sideways between land and see, carrying its home on its back.Mythologically Hestia, goddess of the hearth comes to the table. Tantalus shows us what not to do at a dinner party, especially one where the gods are the guests. We look at the Earth Mother lineage of Gaia, Rhea, Hera. And then go deep into the tensional point between Hera and Herakles as it plays out through the image of the terrifying nine-headed water snake, the Hydra.Resources for this episode:Mort Garson - Cancer 1969DJ Shadow's album Entroducing... especially the song Changeling.Frida Kahlo - The Love Embrace of the Universe, the Earth, Myself, Diego and Senor Xolotl, 1949 (cover art)Brian Clark - Mythic SignsCrabs Trading Shells - BBC EarthNami · Chihei Hatakeyama · Federico DurandMusic by Marlia Coeur on Spotify.Please consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.

Historierna om Minotauros och labyrinten, om Herakles tolv stordåd, om Kirke och Medea har vi hört när vi var unga och de har satt outplånliga spår i vårt medvetande. Den grekiska mytologin har inspirerat folk i tre millennier, om inte mer, och en hel del ingår fortfarande i allmänbildningen. Det görs Disneyfilmer om dem, det skrivs nya romaner om dem och de står sig fortfarande starka i barnboksfloran.Men hur uppstod myterna? Går de tillbaka på verkliga personer och verkliga händelser? Kan vi tolka Minotaurosberättelsen som en spegling av hur det minoiska Kretas härskare låg i konflikt med de helladiska städerna i södra Grekland? Var Herakles en verklig person eller en sagofigur från sten- eller bronsålder? Har Atlantis existerat, eller är Platons redogörelse för den sjunkna kontinenten endast att betrakta som en moraliserande skröna? Har kung Midas och kung Krösus – de två rikaste monarkerna i de antika grekernas minnesbank – överhuvudtaget existerat? Och hur skall vi förklara den märkliga europeiska fauna som vi möter i myterna? Fanns det verkligen lejon och elefanter i Medelhavsvärlden under antiken?I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om grekiska myter och sagor.Bild: Theseus och Minotauros.

It's again that time of the year where we interview Marcin Welnicki from Into The Unknown Studio, this time to discuss their ongoing Kickstarter for Aeon Trespass: Odyssey reprint and Twelve Sins of Herakles standalone prequel! Expect the usual Marcin's enthusiasm, a lot of small facts and trivia and behind-the-scenes design choices, and some not-yet-heard-about piece of content scattered around!

Im antiken Griechenland kannte jedes Kind die Sagen und Mythen von den Amazonen, gefährlichen, exotischen Kriegerinnen, die so manchem Helden das Leben schwermachten - und die vermutlich weitaus realer waren als Herakles oder Theseus. Denn was antike Autoren berichteten und mit reichlich Fantasie ausschmückten, wurde in den letzten Jahrzehnten überprüft. Das erstaunliche Ergebnis: Dutzende Gräber wurden in der eurasischen Steppe untersucht und dabei wurde erstmals nachgewiesen, dass vor rund 2500 Jahren tatsächlich Kriegerinnen in beträchtlicher Zahl an der Seite von Männern kämpften.

DEMONS ARE the spirits of the giants destroyed in the Flood of Noah. At least, that's what Jews of the Second Temple period and the early Christian church believed. Author and pastor Doug Van Dorn, bestselling author and award-winning screenwriter Brian Godawa, and Director of the Institute of Biblical Anthropology Dr. Judd Burton join us for our monthly Iron and Myth round table to discuss the origin of evil spirits. We dig into what the Bible says about these spirits, extrabiblical texts, and startling evidence that the demigod heroes of Greece like Herakles and Perseus were the Rephaim of the Amorites, Canaanites, and Hebrews. Here's a link to the paper mentioned by Doug during the program, “The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1–4,” a 2013 doctoral dissertation by Dr. Jaap Doedens (link opens PDF file).

Prophecy Radio episode #68 dives into the connection between astrology and Greek mythology—specifically talking about the stories behind the zodiac signs. Plus, we talk about all the latest news in the Riordanverse, including the fact that Zeus and Poseidon have finally been cast in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, as well as read and discuss Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian chapter 22. After this, there's only one more chapter to go! New episodes of Prophecy Radio air weekly, and all ages are welcome to tune in. News and updates (00:01:36) Mark gives us some stats on their signing of The Sun and the Star. Is Rick a doodler? We're not so sure he is… It's Nico di Angelo's birthday! This article made us realize we forgot an important detail about his sister, Bianca. Read Riordan answers the question—What exactly ARE the whimsies? Don't forget that Winston Chu vs. the Whimsies by Stacey Lee comes out on February 7! Rick teases a possible blooper reel, and we are HERE for it. Midgard Times (of all places) lets us know about the new Percy Jackson and the Olympians filming end date. And yes, it's now finally time to talk about Rick's January 26 blog post, aka the place where we finally get to meet Zeus and Poseidon. We wonder why they don't announce actors until after they're done filming? We definitely know Lance Reddick from a few places, and he's gonna make an awesome Zeus. And Toby Stephens? We just learned a VERY interesting fact about him this morning. We might be a little less familiar with him, but you can't deny he looks like he's gonna be an awesome Poseidon. We wonder which demigods won't show up in season 1. Will Argus be completely CGI in the show? Astrology and Greek mythology (00:32:28) First, we've got to talk about the Babylonians. Did you know there were originally about 17 or 18 constellations in the zodiac? Aries was first associated with a shepherd, and then later with the ram. Even the Egyptians kept this meaning, which they associated with Amon-Ra (no relation to the football player). Everything comes back to Percy Jackson, which is excellent news for us, a Percy Jackson podcast. Taurus is tied to the spring equinox, which leads down some interesting paths that we are choosing not to explore too deeply. We're already noticing a pattern with Herakles… Moving into Gemini, we meet Castor and Pollux, which are a pair of names you've probably heard before, even if you aren't familiar with the mythological origins. Cancer seems to be a bit of a newer constellation. Surprise, surprise, Herakles is once again involved in this one. Have you read Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons? The constellation of Leo has been associated with the lion for a long time and amongst many different cultures. We never knew Hera was the Oprah of constellations. Unfortunately for Kristen specifically, the stories behind Virgo and Libra are very confusing. Demeter, Astraea, Dike, and Persephone are all possible players in this game. We try to puzzle out how all of these figures are associated with the zodiac and it breaks our brains a little bit. Kristen keeps making How I Met Your Mother references and they go right over Karen's head. In case you were wondering, this is NOT a Brooklyn Nine-Nine podcast. Scorpio's myth is pretty straight forward. Babylonia probably saw more scorpions than jellyfish. The god Nergal from Babylonian mythology is somehow even stranger than Chiron and his human legs. There were simply no constellations before Herakles. It seems Capricorn has always been a goat-fish. Okay, it feels a little TOO convenient that Pan could just grow a fishtail to escape. No matter how you spin it, Aquarius is associated with flooding. This sign is also associated with Ganymede, who we'll meet in Percy Jackson and the Chalice of the Gods. There are so many things we're just gonna skip over. Shapeshifting was a PLAGUE back in the day, apparently. We go on a WHOLE journey about ichthyocentaurs and Camp Fish-Blood. Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian (01:14:40) Let's talk about The Last Olympian chapter 22. Rainbow came to visit, and we're so happy!! How did Rachel get into Camp Half-Blood unscathed? And why wasn't Chiron more concerned about Rachel's fate!? Do you think they'll push Rachel's story to earlier in the TV series in case we don't get a Heroes of Olympus series? The Great Prophecy is officially Prophecy Count #32! The memorials were super sad and beautiful at the same time. We're so happy Nico got the credit and acceptance he deserves!! Annabeth and Tyson have come such a long way as friends!! We kind of wish we had a bit more Percabeth at the end here. Rick is CRUEL for naming this chapter “I Am Dumped.” How did neither one of us pick “And it was pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time”!? The end of this chapter is just so ICONIC. Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 69, where we'll have a chat with J. Maya about music—both her own and what she'd like to see in the show.

That's right it's time for actually, run of the mill mythology! Okay, it's Spartan so actually it's still pretty weird, and confusing... Because you know, Greek mythology.

Many of us grew up reading the myths and legends from Ancient Greece and Rome. We followed Herakles as he succeeded at one impossible task after another; we cringed when Orpheus turned round at the last moment so that Eurydice fled back into the underworld; we grinned when Odysseus outsmarted the cyclops, Polyphemus. But behind […] The post “But what if a woman wrote this?” – with Claire North first appeared on Breaking the Glass Slipper.

The demi-god Hercules was regarded as a great hero for the people of Rome and Greece. He was known for performing various deeds that no mortal could. Hercules was an everyman who had bad days and even died due to another's trickery. These stories were entertaining, but they also told an important lesson to an audience: If bad things can happen to a hero, they have nothing to be ashamed of.The most famous of his activities was the 12 labours that Hercules was asked to perform by his cousin Eurystheus, who was the king of Mycenae and Tiryns. The first set of labours numbered only ten, but they eventually grew to twelve.To kill the Nemean Lion who was impervious to all weapons. To kill the monster known as the Hydra who had nine venomous heads and, when one was cut off, two more would grow in its place. To capture the Cerynitian Hind who was sacred to the goddess Artemis.To capture the Erymanthian Boar. Cleaning the Stables of Augeius in a day.To drive away the Stymphalian Birds.To bring back the Cretan Bull from Knossos.To bring back the Mares of Diomedes.To bring back Hippolyte's Girdle.To bring back the cattle of Geryon, king of Cadiz.To bring back the Golden Apples of Hesperides.To bring back Cerberus, the guard dog of the underworld.Read more at https://mythlok.com/hercules/

In the episode on Foucault we touched briefly on the question of what might happen if we combined Jung's analysis of the gods with Foucault's analysis of power. There is a precedent for this question in the work of the philosopher loved by both thinkers: Friedrich Nietzsche. In his book, On the Genealogy of Morals, Nietzsche talks about how the gods can have very different effects on their believers. In the Judaeo-Christian tradition, God is the embodiment of the superego. He is the ideal that judges; we are creatures with Free Will and whether we thrive or fail is on ourselves. In the Greek tradition on the other hand we have the pantheon of bickering gods. If misfortune befalls us it isn't simply because of something we have done but perhaps becuase of some conflict among the gods that we have no power of. In this way the Greeks "used their gods precisely so as to ward off the “bad conscience,” so as to be able to rejoice in their freedom of soul—the very opposite of the use to which Christianity put its God." ____________________Further Reading:-   Nietzsche, F., 1989.

“The underworld, the afterlife, is fairly dank, dark, shadowy; quite frankly, it's a bit boring. Somewhat like waiting at a bus depot.” Homer's Odyssey depicts an afterlife that is relatively dull, with heroic actions and glory reserved for the living. Nonetheless, people in Southern Italy in the fourth century BCE were captivated by the underworld and decorated large funerary vases with scenes of the afterlife—the domain of Hades and Persephone, where sinners like Sisyphus are tortured for eternity and heroes like Herakles and Orpheus performed daring feats. Little is known about precisely how these vases were used and seen in death rituals. A new book by Getty Publications, Underworld: Imagining the Afterlife in Ancient South Italian Vase Painting, brings together 40 such vases and explores new research on them. In this episode, Getty Museum curator of antiquities David Saunders discusses these enormous and often elaborate vases, explaining the myths they depict and what is known about the ways in which they were used. Saunders is editor of Underworld.

Marissa chats with Rachel Menard about her debut Greek Myth-inspired fantasy - GAME OF STRENGTH AND STORM - as well as making the tough decision to put a novel on the backburner, which is not the same thing on giving up on it entirely; how imagining your story in a totally different genre can lead to unique and unexpected developments in your worldbuilding; writing a retelling that will surprise readers, even those who know the original story; some things to consider when it comes to including multiple points of view, and how to decide which POV to use for each chapter; why motive plays such a huge role in characterization and can help to make your unlikeable characters relatable and your antagonists redeemable; and crafting a magic system with rules and limitations that will constantly challenge your protagonist.
