Shoftim 11: Finding an Opening Yiftach is back from exile. The elders who expelled him now need him, and he knows it. Before the battle, he attempts diplomacy, dismantling the Ammonite king's historical revisionism with a careful, point-by-point legal argument rooted in the Exodus narrative. The king ignores him, not because the argument fails, but because he refuses to recognize Yiftach's authority. Then Yiftach makes his vow. This shiur examines the most contested moment in Sefer Shoftim: the neder of Yiftach and what happened to his daughter. We work through the machlokes Rishonim, including the Ramban and Ibn Ezra, on whether the vow demanded death or separation, and why the Gemara in Taanis condemns it in the sharpest terms. The deeper tragedy, however, is institutional. Pinchas could have annulled the vow. Yiftach could have gone to Pinchas. Neither moved. A girl died between their competing pride. The Bereishis Rabbah is unsparing. Includes a striking parallel to Iphigenia in Greek tragedy and the haftorah connection to Parshas Chukas. Part of the ongoing Judges in the Nach series.

What happens when our modern visual culture, which demands we constantly observe global atrocities on our phones, actually leads to apathy instead of a meaningful moral response? The University of Chicago's Associate Professor of English Language and Literature, Dr. Ben Saltzman, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the overlooked significance of a common, deeply human reaction.Dr. Saltzman explores the history and meaning of this physical act in his book, Turning Away, The Poetics of an Ancient Gesture. They examine how looking away is frequently not a sign of disengagement, but rather an indication of deep emotional involvement, and how understanding this can help us navigate the horrors of the contemporary world.In this conversation they explore: How the book traces archaic scenes—like the ancient painting of Agamemnon's sacrifice of Iphigenia—by treating them as rocks tossed into a pool, following their cultural and artistic ripples across time. The surprising realization that turning away from a distressing event often signifies a deep engagement with the pain of the world, rather than simple indifference. Why our contemporary habit of scrolling through images of suffering on our phones can create a false sense of moral duty while actually fostering an empty act of looking. The concept of the divided soul, exemplified by Plato's tale of Leontius, which demonstrates how humans experience an inner conflict and oscillation between looking and turning away. How ancient rhetoric and art utilized the covered face to convey states of emotional extremity that existed entirely at the limits of representation. The relationship between covering one's eyes and the acquisition of painful knowledge, illustrated by figures ranging from a newly fallen Adam and Eve to a young girl watching a cruel scientific experiment on a bird.This is a conversation for anyone interested in literary studies, art history, and the humanities who wants to understand the historical weight behind our everyday instincts and how we process the painful realities of our modern age.Make sure to check out Dr. Saltzman's book: Turning Away: The Poetics of an Ancient Gesture

The first of a grim pair of episodes depicting filicide within Greek myths. We piece together the story of Agamemnon’s sacrificing Iphigenia for favorable winds – and the fallout of such action after the war. All this with an eye for how the choices parents make either support or harm the parents’ individuation. This episode we will be reading from Mythology, by Edith Hamilton.

A terrible crime weighs on Orestes and he is pursued across the world by ghosts both literal and metaphorical - how can he lay these ghosts to rest? Inspired by Aeschylus, Eumenides, and Eurpides, Iphigenia in Tauris, this modernised re-telling of a classic Greek myth is followed by a discussion of a Taurian goddess, the Oracle at Delphi, and the Furies of Greek mythology.

Episode 3 of The Road To Joni picks up a thread from our conversation with Don Was… and leads us to esperanza spalding. In 2021 esperanza collaborated with her mentor Wayne Shorter on Iphigenia, an opera with a revisionary take on Euripides' Greek tragedy Iphigenia at Aulis. It was Ipheigenia that led esperanza to Joni's living room, though her path on the road to Joni started years prior with a track from the 1976 album Hejira. esperanza tells host Carmel Holt how, at a recent Janet Jackson concert, she was reminded that Joni Mitchell has “literally influenced everyone.” Joni's influence on powerhouse string players and Joni Jam members Chauntee and Monique of SistaStrings began with “the lady that sings on the Janet Jackson song. (‘Got Til It's Gone').” A move from their hometown of Milwaukee to Nashville immersed the sisters in the Americana scene… which led them to a place in Brandi Carlisle's touring band… which led to that fateful Newport 2022 performance when Joni took the stage. SistaStrings credit Joni for being an example for women to “stand on your own, be who you are, make weird music and be loud about it.”

Pigweed, Crowhill, Longinus, and all three wives went to Baltimore to see an adaptation of The Oresteia, which was originally a 3-part play by Aeschylus. In this podcast they reflect on the play and related issues. The play focuses on the web of vengeance within the family of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, starting with Agamemnon's sacrifice of their daughter, Iphigenia, before the battle of Troy. When Agamemnon returns home with Cassandra the prophetess of Apollo as a spoil of war, Clytemnestra invites him back in regal style, but then murders both her husband and his new girlfriend. It then falls on Orestes, their son -- urged on by their daughter Electra -- to avenge the death of his father. But then, who is to avenge Clytemnestra? How far does this go? Where does it end? The play addresses issues of just war, faith, free will and determinism, religious and moral obligations, family relations, and vengeance and justice. The show ends with a discussion of Troy and the alleged historical backdrop to the play.

This podcast, Myths and Movies, is about Greek myths and select movie(s) that have been based upon them. In this first episode, I discuss the myth of Iphigenia, the daughter of King Agamemnon of Argos. The literature I draw from is called Iphigenia At Aulis, an unfinished play by Euripides, and the movie that I draw from is the 1977 Greek film Iphigenia.

I love my spaghetti boy. The Killing of a Sacred Deer is a 2017 psychological thriller directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Colin Farrell, Barry Keoghan, and Nicole Kidman. Based off the greek myth "The Tragedy of Iphigenia," this film follows a surgeon that is having mysterious meetings with a teenage boy. What does the boy want? Look at the boy, look at the way he eats spaghetti. Maybe if people told him that everyone eats spaghetti the way he does, this all could've been avoided. Caution: movie spoilers. Intro- 0 to 1:38.

On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from filmmaker Reem Al Ghazi on the project Becoming Iphigenia and incredible initiative in Germany that seeks to tell the stories of Syrian women refugees. The film is described this way: "Becoming Iphigenia is a feature-length creative documentary. The film follows the story of nine young Syrian women who have fled to Germany to escape the war and, for some, to escape the society at home. They hail from different walks of life and from differing communities in Syria, and were brought together on stage at the Volksbühne in Berlin for roles in a modern adaptation of Euripides' Iphigenia written by playwright Mohammad al-Attar and directed by Omar Abusaada. Reem Al-Ghazzi had close access to the cast of non-professional actresses. She filmed the preparations, rehearsals, discussions and the premiere, but also the women's lives in Germany, outside the theatre. As the women spent more and more time together, they discovered that though they had left to escape pain and possible death, they actually carried these wherever they went. Could they escape the past, family, society and themselves?" Music on this edition is by Anarchist Mountains.

It's a brand new !Spoilers! episode for The Tragedy of Iphigenia as translated from Euripides by Jane, Lady Lumley around 1553. This episode works through the action, but there isn't the plain text audio at the end - largely because we don't plan to cut the final version. As ever, the text as recorded may contain minor errors and is a bit rough round the edges.

Ready for uncomfortable laughter? Welcome to the world of Yorgos Lanthimos and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017).Pulling from Euripides' Greek tragedy "Iphigenia in Aulis," this divisive film deftly balances pitch black, absurd comedy (children falling! Uncomfortable sex talks!) with horrifying moral dilemmas and dread (children dying!).Plus: misunderstanding kink and incest, monotone line deliveries, female passivity and male narcissism, bad (?) singing, and all of the times we laughed and probably shouldn't have.Questions?

Mis Trujillo and Sophie Paluch from Auddy join Flixwatcher remotely to review Mis' choice The Killing of A Sacred Deer. The Killing of A Sacred Deer is a 2017 psychological horror/thriller film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos with a screenplay inspired by the Greek tragedy Iphigenia in Aulis. Colin Farrell plays a heart surgeon Steven Murphy who strikes up an unusual relationship with Barry Keoghan's Martin - the son of a man who died while Steven was operating on him. Steven invites Martin to meet his wife Anna (Nicole Kidman), his daughter Kim (Raffey Cassidy) and his son Bob (Sunny Suljic) and shortly after Bob becomes paralysed with no know cause. Martin gives Steven an ultimatum that to “balance things” for the death of his father, Steven must kill either Anna, Bob or Kim or they will all die. It is fair to say Yorgos Lanthimos films are an acquired taste and not for everyone - The Killing of A Sacred Deer is perhaps his most divisive so far. Recommendability scores for The Killing of A Sacred Deer were mixed as it swings wildly between black comedy and deeply unsettling. Slightly higher engagement scores manage to give it an overall rating 3.46. Fan of Yorgos Lanthimos?

"On hearing this, Jesus said, 'It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.'" In this episode, Raymond and Sophie discuss their mutual favorite superhero in Spider-Man: No Way Home. (Mostly because they wanted to discuss Into the Spider-Verse, but they were foiled. So they settled for the next best thing.) What does it mean to be Spider-Man?

Welcome to this week's True Fiction Project Podcast. Today we are joined by award-winning playwright and actor, Ellen McLaughlin. Ellen joins me to discuss her many pieces of work throughout her career and the project she just completed with the Play On Podcasts series. She describes the incredible experiences of being around someone while they encounter extraordinary joy and the impact of that on individuals. Ellen talks about the connection she believes all artists should have to their work. At the end of the episode, we get the pleasure of listening to Ellen's short story titled Witness to the Joy of Strangers. IN THIS EPISODE: [1:11] Introducing Ellen McLaughlin and her work with Play On Podcasts. [6:52] What about the Shakespeare play Ellen worked on that resonated with her? [13:05] When Ellen is creating her art, is she always thinking about a real-life moment or is it happenstance?  [17:45] Ellen gives us an insight into her short story.  [22:07] Short Story Witness to the Joy of Strangers by Ellen McLaughlin KEY TAKEAWAYS: People need to recognize that they are privileged to be a bystander and to witness a revelation that one has when they discover their passion. To take in their joy even without necessarily being a part of it is a memorable experience.  Someone cannot make something worthwhile unless they have something on the line. If the story means something to them, you can feel the passion in the piece. Without it being worthwhile to them, it risks falling flat.  A person will work harder and be more involved in a project if they have passion behind it. If there is no passion, choose a different project that will showcase the passion for the work.   Fiction Credits: Short story written and read by: Ellen McLaughlin BIO: Ellen McLaughlin's plays have received numerous national and international productions.

Austerity and the dangerously stretched state of the NHS have never cut so deep. And yet, that statement felt just as true back in 2015 when Iphigenia In Splott, Gary Owens' lauded monodrama reimagining of Euripedes' Iphigenia In Aulis, first debuted. It's only right that Iphigenia In Splott is back now, once more starring the phenomenal Sophie Melville as Effie – our Greek heroine via Cardiff. Effie's life is a mess of drink, drugs and drama every night, and a hangover worse than death the next day – until one night gives her the chance to be something more. In Greek myth, the story of Iphigenia is a tragedy: a young girl sacrificed for male hubris, ambition and legacy, and Mickey chats to Sophie about the Iphigenias, the Effies, of today, how they're being sacrificed and why the time is ripe for revolution.Iphigenia In Splott is at the Lyric Hammersmith, London, until October 22.

Iphigénie en Tauride was first performed on 18 May 1779 by the Paris Opéra at the second Salle du Palais-Royal and was a great success. Some think that the head of the Paris Opéra, Devismes, had attempted to stoke up the rivalry between Gluck and Niccolò Piccinni, an Italian composer also resident in the French capital, by asking them both to set an opera on the subject of Iphigenia in Tauris. In the event, Piccinni's Iphigénie en Tauride was not premiered until January 1781 and did not enjoy the popularity that Gluck's work did.Purchase the music (without talk) at:Gluck: Iphigénie en Tauride (classicalsavings.com)Your purchase helps to support our show! Classical Music Discoveries is sponsored by La Musica International Chamber Music Festival and Uber. @CMDHedgecock#ClassicalMusicDiscoveries #KeepClassicalMusicAlive#LaMusicaFestival #CMDGrandOperaCompanyofVenice #CMDParisPhilharmonicinOrléans#CMDGermanOperaCompanyofBerlin#CMDGrandOperaCompanyofBarcelonaSpain#ClassicalMusicLivesOn#Uber Please consider supporting our show, thank you!http://www.classicalsavings.com/donate.html staff@classicalmusicdiscoveries.com

Synopsis While many great composers have also been great conductors, this can be the exception rather than the rule. On today's date in 1959, the American composer Ned Rorem tried his hand at conducting the premiere of one of his own compositions, a chamber suite entitled “Eleven Studies for Eleven Players.” Rorem recalled: “I learned that the first requisite to becoming a conductor is an inborn lust for absolute monarchy, and that I, alone among musicians, never got the bug. I was terrified. The first rehearsal was a model of how NOT to inspire confidence. I stood before the eleven players in all my virginal glory, and announced: ‘I've never conducted before, so if I give a wrong cue, do try to come in right anyway.'” Fortunately for Rorem, his eleven musicians were accomplished faculty at Buffalo University, and, despite his inexperience, Rorem certainly knew how his new piece should sound. Rorem's Suite incorporated a few bits recycled from music he had written for a successful Broadway hit—Tennessee Williams' “Suddenly Last Summer”—plus a bit from an unsuccessful play entitled “Motel” that never made it past a Boston tryout. Rorem's own tryout as a conductor convinced him to stick to composing, although he proved to be a fine piano accompanist for singers performing his own songs. As for “Eleven Studies for Eleven Players,” it's gone on to become one of Rorem's most-often performed chamber works.

In our last episode we looked at Achilles' early life and his relationships with the women who crossed his path. In this episode, we follow him to the beach at Aulis—where all the Greek kings and heroes, anyone who was anyone, had gathered at the start of the Trojan War. Achilles left Pyrrha behind, but his time as a dancing girl followed him to that beach. This is where the wind stalled. This is where Achilles first clashed with that titan of fragile masculinity, Agamemnon. And this is where a girl named Iphigenia met her fate.

Podcasting — The evolution of the musical is upon us.It's time for new works. Scattershot Symphony will now evolve from the past, to the present and into the future. It's inevitable. So here we are at the cutting edge of 21st century musicals – the musical podcast.Today we offer a preview, actually, a better word for that would be a PRELISTEN, to songs from a musical of one of the greatest classics of the theater. Euripedes' Iphigenia In Aulis.  It's an ancient Greek story, but it resonates with today's world completely in that it is the story of a war begun with no purpose except to please a deranged leader's egotistical wishes. Sound familiar?Scattershot Symphony is presented by Watchfire Music. Learn more at watchfiremusic.com
