"We have to grab this chance for romance now, or we'll never be alone.

But when the kids find out they've been deceived, they pursue their parents in a city-hopping adventure that culminates in a perfectly serviceable Catch Me if You Can parody.

In this episode, Mr. Homer Abramian explained that “Iran,” pronounced (Eye-Ran), has been used for thousands of years, and that “Persia” is derived from the Iranian language (Parsi). He believes It is an inaccurate name and has no relation to race. Mr Abramian believes fears of regime collapse leading to civil war or separatism are hard to happen, noting that Iran's diverse nationalities are bound by intermarriages, shared identity and a common commitment to national unity despite dissatisfaction with the ruling regime.

Christoph Martin Wieland – 1733-1813Teil 2, Buch 4, Kapitel 8(Hördauer 22 Minuten)Das ProjektWir haben ein besonderes Projekt gestartet, das uns in diesem Jahr begleiten wird. Gemeinsam mit vielen unserer talentierten Sprecherinnen und Sprecher haben wir das Buch "Geschichte der Abderiten" von Christoph Martin Wieland vertont. Wir sind begeistert, euch diese altgriechischen Schildbürgergeschichten in zahlreichen Folgen präsentieren zu können. Lasst euch von den faszinierenden, amüsanten Erzählungen aus vergangenen Zeiten verzaubern und taucht ein in die Welt der Abderiten die unseren Schildbürgern in nichts nachstehen; im Gegenteil. Wir wünschen euch viel Spaß beim Zuhören Staunen über den gesammelten Unsinn, den Wieland uns präsentiert!Übrigens, man kann auch beinahe jederzeit einsteigen und jede Folge verstehen, ohne die vorherigen gehört zu haben.Alle BeiträgeDas BuchDie "Geschichte der Abderiten" von Christoph Martin Wieland ist ein satirischer Roman, der schon zu Lebzeiten des Autors als Abbild seiner Heimatstadt Biberach an der Riß betrachtet wurde. Möglicherweise hatte Wieland einige Charaktere aus seiner Reichsstadt vor Augen, doch in dieser Schrift werden auch menschliche Verhaltensweisen dargestellt, die zu allen Zeiten und an jedem Ort anzutreffen sind. Der formale Aufbau des Romans orientiert sich an antiken Komödienautoren und Satirikern, welche Geschichten aus dem verschrienen Abdera im klassischen Hellas verbreiteten. Christoph Martin Wieland (1733-1813) war ein deutscher Dichter, Übersetzer und Herausgeber zur Zeit der Aufklärung. In dem Buch wird das Altertum einer Stadt namens Abdera in Thrakien behandelt, welches bis in die fabelhafte Heldenzeit zurückreicht. Ob sie ihren Namen von verschiedenen möglichen Quellen empfing oder nicht - das spielt uns keine große Rolle. Immerhin fiel die Stadt nach ihrer ersten Gründung aufgrund ihres hohen Alters zusammen. Erst Timesius von Klazomene unternahm um die Zeit der 31. Olympiade den Versuch sie wieder aufzubauen - jedoch wurden seine Früchte durch feindlich gesinnte wilde Thracier zunichte gemacht.Christoph Martin Wieland war ein bedeutender deutscher Schriftsteller und Übersetzer des 18. Jahrhunderts. Er gilt als einer der wichtigsten Vertreter der deutschen Aufklärung und hat mit seinen Werken maßgeblich zur Entwicklung der deutschen Literatur beigetragen.Wieland war ein äußerst vielseitiger Autor, der in verschiedenen Genres wie Roman, Drama, Essay und Lyrik tätig war. Seine Werke zeichnen sich durch eine klare Sprache und eine tiefe Humanität aus, die bis heute faszinieren.Besonders bekannt ist Wieland für seinen Roman "Agathon", der als eines der ersten Werke der deutschen Literaturgeschichte gilt, das den Begriff des "Bildungsromans" prägte. Auch seine Übersetzungen von Werken antiker Autoren wie Homer oder Vergil sind bis heute von großer Bedeutung.Insgesamt war Ch. M. Wieland ein herausragender Vertreter seiner Zeit, dessen Werk bis heute einen wichtigen Platz in der deutschen Literaturgeschichte einnimmt.Wenn Ihnen dieser Beitrag gefallen hat, dann mögen Sie vielleicht auch diesen.

Natalie is joined by Edith Hall and Nikita Gill to tell the stories of the Nine Earthly Muses, the most admired Greek women poets. They are Sappho, Myrtis, Corinna, Moero, Anyte, Nossis, Erinna, Praxilla and Telesilla. The idea was that these "divine voices" had been nurtured by the Muses themselves.Sappho's magnificent poetry offers a different perspective from Homer's. Her Helen of Troy feels no guilt at all about leaving her family to be with Paris. The poets provide funny, inventive and unexpected angles: Corinna writes about a contest between two local mountains to see which of them can play the best song on the lyre. The disgruntled loser, Mount Helicon, then rains down boulders like snow in displeasure. Praxilla writes drinking songs using her own meter and rhythms. But their work has been scorned and misunderstood by critics and Natalie wants to redress that.'Rockstar mythologist' Natalie Haynes is the best-selling author of 'Divine Might', 'Stone Blind', and 'A Thousand Ships' as well as a reformed comedian who is a little bit obsessive about Ancient Greek and Rome.Nikita Gill is an Irish-Indian poet whose work offers a shift of perspective which centres women in both Greek and Hindu myth as well as folklore. She has been shortlisted for the Goodreads Choice Award in poetry and the Children's Poetry Award and longlisted for the Jhalak Prize. Her new book is Hekate: The Witch.Edith Hall is Professor of Classics at Durham University, specialising in ancient Greek literature. She has written over thirty books and is a Fellow of the British Academy.Producer...Beth O'Dea

Erich Auerbach wrote his classic work Mimesis, a history of narrative from Homer to Proust, based largely on his memory of past reading. Having left his physical library behind when he fled to Istanbul to escape the Nazis, he was forced to rely on the invisible library of his mind. Each of us has such a library—if not as extensive as Auerbach's—even if we are unaware of it. In this erudite and provocative book, William Marx explores our invisible libraries—how we build them and how we should expand them.Libraries, Marx tells us, are mental realities, and, conversely, our minds are libraries. We never read books apart from other texts. We take them from mental shelves filled with a variety of works that help us understand what we are reading. And yet the libraries in our mind are not always what they should be. The selection on our mental shelves—often referred to as canon, heritage, patrimony, or tradition—needs to be modified and expanded. Our intangible libraries should incorporate what Marx calls the dark matter of literature: the works that have been lost, that exist only in fragments, that have been repurposed by their authors, or were never written in the first place. Marx suggests methods for recovering this missing literature, but he also warns us that adding new titles to our libraries is not enough. We must also adopt a new attitude, one that honors the diversity and otherness of literary works. We must shed our preconceptions and build within ourselves a mental world library. William Marx is professor of comparative literature at the Collège de France. He is the author of The Hatred of Literature, The Tomb of Oedipus: Why Greek Tragedies Were Not Tragic, and other books. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

We never read books apart from other texts. We take them from mental shelves filled with a variety of works that help us understand what we are reading. And yet the libraries in our mind are not always what they should be. The selection on our mental shelves—often referred to as canon, heritage, patrimony, or tradition—needs to be modified and expanded. Our intangible libraries should incorporate what Marx calls the dark matter of literature: the works that have been lost, that exist only in fragments, that have been repurposed by their authors, or were never written in the first place. Marx suggests methods for recovering this missing literature, but he also warns us that adding new titles to our libraries is not enough. We must also adopt a new attitude, one that honors the diversity and otherness of literary works. We must shed our preconceptions and build within ourselves a mental world library. William Marx is professor of comparative literature at the Collège de France. He is the author of The Hatred of Literature, The Tomb of Oedipus: Why Greek Tragedies Were Not Tragic, and other books.

Erich Auerbach wrote his classic work Mimesis, a history of narrative from Homer to Proust, based largely on his memory of past reading. Having left his physical library behind when he fled to Istanbul to escape the Nazis, he was forced to rely on the invisible library of his mind. Each of us has such a library—if not as extensive as Auerbach's—even if we are unaware of it.

Send us a textTHIS IS SPARTA. Xenophon said that, even in his day, the rest of the Greeks thought Sparta's laws wholly strange: "all men praise such institutions, but no state chooses to imitate them." Foremost among these strange laws, of course, were the ones concerned with the rearing and education of children. And these laws, he said, were in their own turn developed not by imitating others, but came from the mind of a single great lawgiver: Lycurgus. It should come as no surprise, then, that the strict military training regime instituted by something of a philosopher-king held out its charms to the young men of Athens who surrounded Socrates. This had, in the case of Critias and the Thirty Tyrants, disastrous results. Jonathan and Ryan take a look at Xenophon, Plutarch, and other texts concerned with the appalling and enthralling institutions of ancient Lacadaemon.Henri-Irénée Marrou's A History of Education in Antiquity: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780299088149Previous New Humanists episode on Sparta: https://newhumanists.buzzsprout.com/1791279/episodes/17503634-sparta-before-the-reactionary-turn-episode-xciiXenophon's Constitution of the Spartans: https://cmuntz.hosted.uark.edu/texts/xenophon/constitution-of-the-spartans.htmlPlutarch's Instituta Laconica: https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/Moralia/Instituta_Laconica*.htmlPaul Cartledge's Spartan Reflections: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780520231245Pericles' Funeral Oration (from Thucydides): https://hrlibrary.umn.edu/education/thucydides.htmlNew Humanists episode on Nietzsche's The Greek State: https://newhumanists.buzzsprout.com/1791279/episodes/14044549-compassion-versus-classical-antiquity-episode-lviiPlato's Republic: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780465094080New Humanists episode on Nietzsche's Homer's Contest: https://newhumanists.buzzsprout.com/1791279/episodes/13949908-nietzsche-homer-and-cruelty-episode-lviFragments of Critias: https://demonax.info/doku.php?id=text:critias_of_athens_fragmentsPaul Rahe's The Grand Strategy of Classical Sparta: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780300227093Paul Rahe's Was There a Spartan Mirage?: https://yalebooks.yale.edu/2016/10/06/was-there-a-spartan-mirage/New Humanists is brought to you by the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/Links may have referral codes, which earn us a commission at no additional cost to you.

Mt. Iliamna is an active cone-shaped volcano located one hundred and forty miles (225 km) southwest of Anchorage and seventy miles (113 km) northwest of Homer. It is part of the Chigmit Mountains and rises from its base near Cook Inlet to 10,016 feet (3052.9 m), one of the highest peaks in the volcanically active area of the Alaska Peninsula. Ten glaciers radiate from the volcano's slopes. Iliamna last erupted in 1867, and observers have occasionally seen smoke wafting from the summit since then. However, it is the weather surrounding the mountain, not the volcanic activity, that makes Iliamna dangerous. Clouds frequently cloak the mountain's peak, and turbulent winds buffet this mountainous region, creating some of the most hazardous weather on the planet. Coastal fog and rain often create restricted visibility and a low ceiling. For aviators, flying in this area of the state can be challenging, dangerous, and sometimes deadly. Between 1958 and 1977, four mid-sized planes either crashed into Mt. Iliamna or were destroyed by the turbulence near the mountain, killing a total of seventy-nine people.

HR expert Marcia Homer discusses the workplace dynamics between Gen X managers and Gen Z employees. She explains how different generational upbringings create workplace conflicts - Gen X grew up as independent "latchkey kids" while Gen Z is the most connected and supervised generation ever. Homer emphasizes that Gen Z isn't lazy but wants to work differently, seeking purpose, flexibility, and growth over grinding. The solution lies in improved communication, patience, and non-judgmental curiosity from all generations.

Hey everyone...welcome to our bi-monthly ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vault! On this episode, I was joined by Homer Flynn, representing The Residents and all things Ralph Records, to talk about their incredible body of work, and my gawd, they performed part of their epic, Eskimo, live recently...incredible! This was my chance to ask about so many things that wouldn't be typically discussed regarding The Residents. I was extremely proud when, at the end of the interview, Homer thanked me for not asking about the eyeballs. Why would I?!!??!? (Episode 45 originally aired on June 18th, 2024). The original show notes:This week, we talked to Homer Flynn of The Cryptic Corporation, who represents the mysterious, unknown collective, THE RESIDENTS, and discussed their legacy in film and video. Topics included the band's Theory Of Obscurity, which Resident is the easiest to negotiate with, how the band couldn't even give their initial records away and the moment that changed, creating the Ralph Records logo, what the Residents think of A.I., how they created their album artwork and music videos, collaborating with Night Flight, being The Residents during the pandemic, why The the collective gravitated to and stayed in S.F., working with John Sanborn & Graeme Whifler, The Residents' filmmaking heroes, making music videos in an era where there was no place to show them, how the Cryptic Corp deals with the band's larger than life concepts, the folly of trying to accomplish everything in one's lifetime, the story behind their Ugly Grey Theater not being allowed to exist, their early 70s feature length epic Vileness Fats and how it lead to the false start film Double Trouble which then led to their first feature length film 50 years later, Triple Trouble, and their discussion on their next large scale projects including a one song concert in Geneva and Paris.So come all you sinister exaggerators and let's talk the visuals of The Residents.THE RESIDENTS:https://www.residents.com/REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film or music videos to discuss.
