Visiting Greece can be overwhelming, with the number of historical landmarks to visit. But the Oracle of Delphi, high up in the mountains, is one of the most beautiful, and most memorable, places to visit. The history of the site is enthralling, the views are enchanting, and everywhere you look, you see echoes of why the Greeks thought this was the home of a god. My guest today is Ryan Stitt of The History of Ancient Greece podcast. Ryan and I chat about what the Greeks actually did when they visited the Oracle, and the role it played in the rise and fall of famous Greek leaders and states. Delphi's early days People had been around Delphi since the Bronze Age, but in the 8th century, people begin to flock to it and treat it as a religious sanctuary. And as more temples were built, the town became even more of a destination, so much so that by the 6th-century visitors had begun to arrive from other countries, including Rome. The Greek myths hold that Apollo slew the serpent Python at Delphi, and established it as his sanctuary. Delphi was also home of the Omphalos, which is wrapped up in the myth of Cronos devouring his children, vomiting up titans and, well, you should probably just hear Ryan tell the story. The women of the Oracle The Pythia, the women who served as the priestesses at the Oracle of Delphi, took their name from the python Apollo slew. As Ryan tells me in this episode, the women had to be local to Delphi, had to be peasant women, had to have lived a pure life, and had to be older than 50 years old. Once appointed as the priestess, she remained in the position for the rest of her life and had to remain chaste from that point on. To make one of her prophecies, she first had to cleanse herself in a river, then there were the prophecy trappings we think of—burning of leaves, sacrificing of small animals, etc. And then the priestess would sit upon her bronze tripod, and after a visitor asked their question, she would fall into a trance, during which Apollo would speak his divine will to her. And, as Ryan tells me, the spiritual reason this was the place where Apollo spoke might have actually been geological. What to see at Delphi It's hard to get across just how big Delphi is, and how much there is to see there. As Ryan told me, it took people in the ancient world three days to hike up the mountain to visit the oracle, and the views once they got there remain incredible today. There's the theater, which is a must-see, the Temple of Athena, and the Sanctuary. But Delphi also began hosting the Pythion games in the 6th century B.C., and the Stadium of Delphi remains one of the best-preserved sites of its kind. It's clear Ryan loves the history of the games, especially something called pankration, which was a Greek version of mixed martial arts, where the only rule was no eye-gouging. (No one will try to wrestle you if you visit now.) Making its mark Ryan and I geek out a bit about how beautiful Delphi truly is. The theater, which is one of the best-preserved sites in Delphi, gives one a view down into most of the town, including the temple, a breathtaking view like nothing you'll see elsewhere. If you love the rich history of Ancient Greece, the crazy world of Greek mythology, or just visiting some of the most beautiful places on Earth, then Delphi is definitely a must for your travel itinerary. And this episode, with Ryan's insight into Delphi's history, is a must-listen. Outline of This Episode [2:10] Why do Westerners connect to the history of Greece?

The construction of the Brooklyn Bridge changed New York City forever, connecting the suburb to Manhattan, and establishing the borough as a vital part of the city's life and culture. It's easy to look at a bridge now and say, “Of course that bridge had to be built.” But why, exactly, did city leaders want to connect Brooklyn and Manhattan, how did the people who lived there at the time feel about it, and how did elephants help make the bridge a landmark? Today, my guest is Ariel Viera from Urbanist, who you may remember walked us through the history of Central Park in episode 14. Also, there are river pirates. Ariel lives and breathes the history of New York, and the stories he has about the Brooklyn Bridge will have you looking at the city in a whole new way. BBB: Before the Brooklyn Bridge In the mid-1800s, there were two separate cities: Brooklyn and New York (what we now call Manhattan). And to get from one to the other, you'd have to take a ferry. But as Ariel told me, New York's traffic troubles go back to before the time of taxicabs: The East River was full of ships going from port to port, and a ferry had to contend with that marine traffic. And there were many ferries going back and forth, from street to street, in Brooklyn Heights and Manhattan, and the system became a bit cumbersome. So, Brooklyn actually proposed building a bridge which, because of the width of the East River, was not going to be easy. How John Roebling designed the Brooklyn Bridge The East River is actually wider than the Thames, known for its many bridges, so the engineering problem of spanning the river while still allowing boat traffic was a vexing one. Enter architect John Roebling, who had created a steel wire much stronger than what had been used for bridges before. He had the brilliant idea to use that wire to build a bridge strong enough to reach from shore to shore. But what's interesting is that even if the engineering required innovation, many criticized the bridge's design as too plain. But as Ariel tells me, that was actually done on purpose, and the story behind that decision is fascinating. The building of the bridge The ironic tragedy of John Roebling's life is that it was cut short before the Brooklyn Bridge was built. He was actually crossing the East River on a ferry when a cargo load fell on his leg, and he would later die of complications from the injury. His death came in 1869, the same year construction began on the bridge. Luckily, his son Washington was establishing himself as an architect, and he was able to take over the project. But the building of the bridge took all the way from 1869 to 1883 and wasn't without incident. As Ariel told me, there were problems with workers going so deep into the river to secure the bridge, and Washington Roebling himself suffered paralysis from going so deep when the caissons were being placed. But the Roebling family endured, and you'll want to hear what Washington's wife, Elizabeth, did next. Making its mark As Ariel tells me, the first few years of the bridge were tumultuous. People flocked to it to cross it, others didn't trust that it was safe. Shortly after its opening, a woman on the bridge screamed that the bridge was collapsing, and 12 people died in the stampede that ensued. That brought out P.T. Barnum, who marched his elephants across the bridge to demonstrate how safe it was. And those are just a few of the stories Ariel told me in this really fun, funny history lesson about the Brooklyn Bridge. You'll have to listen if you want to hear about those pirates.

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Bethlehem may be the most famous small town on Earth. The town is of course known as the birthplace of Jesus Christ, but beyond its most famous citizen, what do people really know about the city? For me, the answer as “not much.” I had the chance to travel to Bethlehem in March, and I learned so much about the city's history beyond its Biblical history. My guest today is the man who literally wrote the book on Bethlehem, Nicholas Blincoe. Nicholas wrote the critically hailed Bethlehem: Biography of a Town, and on this episode, we discuss what life was like there in the first century A.D., how that history relates to what's told in the Bible, and how the legacy of its most famous son affected the town centuries after his birth. How old is Bethlehem? Bethlehem is a very old town in a very old region, at the crossroads of two ancient trails: What today is called Hevron Road that runs up to Jerusalem, and then an east-west trail that came from the Dead Sea. And as the aquifer in the area began to be used as a water source for Jerusalem, Bethlehem town grew up to protect the water source, and eventually became a market town for the people who lived there. But as Nicholas says, his “big argument” in the book is that Bethlehem is not as old as the Bible says it is. I won't spoil the argument here, but you'll want to hear what he has to say about it. Bethlehem in Jesus's Time I asked Nicholas about the historical evidence of Jesus's birth in Bethlehem, and he said that while much of the evidence, including the Gospels, is 200 or so years after he would have been born, there are other ways of thinking about it. For instance, while much of it may be a few hundred years after the fact, much of it is built on 200 years of pilgrimage, which is strong evidence for the town as Jesus's birthplace. And there was an inn on the edge of town where travelers visiting the site of Jesus' birth would stay. And so Nicholas notes that even though there is no hard evidence, the fact is that people who lived in the time of Christ certainly believed it, making it interesting evidence for a historian. St. Helena and the Church of the Nativity Nicholas tells a great story in this episode about St. Helena, who met her husband as a barmaid and would eventually become the mother of the great emperor Constantine. She then ruled over the empire as matriarch, and went on to build what Nicholas calls one of the most unusual churches in the world, the Church of the Nativity. She actually opened up the top of a cave thought to be where Christ was born, and built a rotunda, so you could look down into the place where Jesus was born. As Nicholas says, it makes the church very influential and, perhaps, interesting from a Freudian perspective. What to see in Bethlehem, and how to see it I asked Nicholas for advice for visiting Bethlehem, and straight away he noted that the typical tour bus is operated by Israelis, and the Palestinian gift shop owners pay those companies to take tourists by their shops. So, as he said, you could feel a little “icky” arranging a trip in that manner. (Though we both make a few recommendations for tours that are on the up-and-up.) He also recommends the Church of the Nativity, of course, and walking Start Street, which was the old pilgrimage route. He also has some really cool suggestions for Roman ruins, holy sites and good places to stop and eat. If you're thinking of visiting the most famous small town in the world, first listen to this episode, then pick up Nicholas's book, and then make your plans.

Belgrade: Rise of the White City

The former Republic of Yugoslavia, and specifically the city of Belgrade, occupies a dark space in our collective memory. The Civil War that broke out there in the 1990s, and the ethnic cleansing that ensued, serves as a crossroads between the past and what's going on today. My guest today is Alex Cruikshanks, the host of the History of Yugoslavia podcast, and we talk about the rise of Belgrade, how it went from being a Serbian backwater to the capital of Yugoslavia, how the country managed to do so well under Communist rule, and what happened when everything came crashing down. The beginnings of Belgrade Belgrade first came to prominence as a fortress city for the Roman Empire. As Alex tells me, it's position along the Danube meant that the river formed a southern border of the empire, with Belgrade as the fortification of that border. And that would be the case for years no matter what empire took control of the city. Which, of course, is a far cry from the Belgrade today, which stands in the center of Serbia. And because it was a military city, it was falling to warring countries constantly. So that means that up until the Serbian uprising against the Ottomans in 1804, it was actually a sparsely populated city. Serbia's role in kickstarting World War I Alex talked about the different efforts to unify the various people in the Balkans into one Slavic state, though the various groups couldn't exactly agree on what that looked like, And when Austria annexed Bosnia in 1908, Serbia saw that as taking what belonged to them. In fact, Gavrilo Princip, the man who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand was a member of the Yugoslavist organization Young Bosnia, which was supported by the Black Hand, the secret Serbian military group. Ferdinand's assassination in Sarajevo led Austria-Hungary to declare war against Serbia, which kickstarted World War I, when each sides allies got involved. How Yugoslavia made its own version of socialism While under Communist rule, most Eastern European countries had a state-run economy. But Yugoslavia departed from that a bit, where companies, owned by their employees, ran independently. So it was a kind of market system, but also a spin on socialism, which allowed for things like competition, and allowed for Yugoslavia's economy to grow in ways other countries' couldn't. Politically, Yugoslavia also broke away from the Eastern Bloc in 1948, occupying a middle ground both economically and politically between the United States and the USSR. But of course, as Alex and I discuss, that prosperity doesn't last, and as we head into the 1980s, Serbia is headed for an ethnic war. Slobodan Milosevic and a violent turn   The late 1980s and 1990s were a dark time for the city and Yugoslavia in general. As Alex tells me, the infamous Slobodan Milosevic rose to power on a wave of nationalism that he, essentially, adopted to advance his own career. The first province of Yugoslavia to peel away was Slovenia, which Milosevic didn't fight to keep because the Serbian population was smaller than in other areas. But as we know now, Yugoslavia was coming apart, and the ensuing war is one of the darkest conflicts of our recent history. Alex walks us through what happened as chaos broke out, and what that time means for Serbia and Belgrade today.

The Salem Witch Trials are one of the most (in)famous events in American history. There are plays, movies and books about it, and no American schoolkid made it to junior high without learning about them. But did you know that there were actually witch trials held about 30 miles to the south of Salem, in Boston? My guest today is Nancy Mades-Byrd, host of The Witch Hunt Podcast, who lives in Salem, and who has studied the period her entire life. Nancy tells me about what happened in the Boston Witch Trials, why they maybe didn't capture the national imagination in the same way, and what influence they had on the little town to its north. The story of Goody Glover The most famous witch trial in Boston happened in the city's North End, now beloved by tourists and Bostonians alike for its Italian culture. But in the 17th century, when Boston was a Puritan theocracy, witch trials were not uncommon. The last and most famous victim to be hanged was an Irish Catholic woman named Ann Goody Glover, who died on November 16, 1688. Glover, a widow, had been deported from Ireland to Barbados with her daughter, expelled by Cromwell during his occupation of Ireland, and then eventually made her way to Boston. She and her daughter worked as servants in the home of John Goodwin, neither of them speaking English (They were Gaelic). That played a huge part in Goody Glover's tragic story, as did the treatment of the Irish in Boston at the time. As Nancy told me, “The only thing Boston hated more than a witch was a Catholic.” What does a doctor prescribe for witchcraft affliction? Goody Glover's downfall all began when the Goodwin children began coming down with bizarre symptoms. They were having seizures, running around on all fours and making guttural noises, throwing religious books around the house. And so the family doctor diagnosed them with the 100% legitimate medical condition of witchcraft affliction. And while we may think of witchcraft accusations as common because of their historical prominence, Nancy told me only 80 people were accused of witchcraft in the 17th century, most of them in Connecticut. But even though not too many people were executed for witchcraft, everyone still believed in witches, so the doctor's diagnosis wasn't too beyond the pale. And there was even a prescription for those under the spell of a witch: fasting and prayer. The Boston Witch Trials and Cotton Mather A figure who would be made famous for his role in the Salem Witch Trials, Rev. Cotton Mather, took an active interest in Ann Glover's case as well. He took the 13-year-old daughter Martha into his home to study her condition, and she's the one to finger Ann as the one who's afflicting her. And as Nancy tells me, Ann didn't have much of a chance, given the language barrier. Cotton Mather then went on to write a book about the trial, which became a 17th-century bestseller, and almost certainly would have become a well-known tale in Salem. But Nancy says the Salem girls weren't simply copying the Goodwin children. Historians now believe both groups of kids were suffering from something called mass psychogenic disorder, a sort of group mental illness that has popped up throughout history. Half-Hanged Mary and other scapegoats The Salem Witch Trials were of course the most famous and most extensive, with Nancy noting that some 200 people were accused of being witches, but Boston and Salem weren't the only places suffering from witch hysteria. Nancy talks about the story of Half-Hanged Mary in Connecticut, and what was happening in Europe, where as many as 60,000 people may have been killed as accused witches between 1630 and 1660. Nancy is so knowledgeable about this slice of history, and I highly recommend everyone check out her Witch Hunt Podcast.

Threes are everywhere in folklore, and today we look at stories where they feature the most prominently: The three bears, the three little pigs, and Cinderella. The tales told and adapted for children children, the three pigs and Cinderella,  are extremely bloody and unforgiving, while the one that was originally for adults - the three bears - is about three very chill best bear friends enjoying a fun afternoon before dealing with a deeply psychologically troubled intruder. The creature this time adds to our list of mythpodcats...and it's further proof that, given half a chance at victory, your cat wouldn't hesitate to kill you. --- Sponsors: Hello Fresh was fantastic.
