This holy defender of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church labored in the final days of the Byzantine Empire, when, pressed on all sides by the Turks, the Emperor in desperation sought union with (or rather submission to) the Papacy in hopes of obtaining aid from the West. It was St Mark who stood almost alone to prevent such a disaster to the Faith.   He was born in Constantinople in 1392 to devout parents. He received a thorough education and seemed destined for a secular career, but at the age of twenty- six he abandoned all worldly claims and became a monk in a small monastery in Nicomedia. Soon the Turkish threat forced him to return to Constantinople, where, continuing in the monastic life, he wrote a number of treatises on prayer and the dogmas of the Church. In time he was ordained priest, then, at the insistence of the Emperor John VIII Paleologos was made Metropolitan of Ephesus. The Emperor also prevailed on him to join the delegation which traveled to the Council of Florence to consider the reunion of the Orthodox Church and the churches under the Papacy. (Saint Mark went as exarch of the Patriarchs of Jerusalem, Antioch and Alexandria, who were unable to attend.)   The Greek delegation included the Emperor and the Patriarch of Constantinople. All, including Metropolitan Mark, began with great hopes that a true union in faith might result from the Council, but as the sessions proceeded, it soon became clear that Pope Eugenius and his theologians were interested only in securing submission of the Eastern Church to the Papacy and its theology. The Metropolitan spoke forcefully against various Latin dogmas such as the filioque and Purgatory, but the Greek delegation, desperate for western aid, bowed to expediency and agreed to sign a document of Union which would have denied the Orthodox Faith itself. Saint Mark was the only member of the delegation who refused to sign. When the Pope heard of this, he said "The bishop of Ephesus has not signed, so we have achieved nothing!"   When the delegation returned to Constantinople, the signers of the false Union were received with universal condemnation by the people, while Metropolitan Mark was hailed as a hero. The churches headed by Unionists were soon almost empty, while the people flocked to the churches headed by those loyal to Orthodoxy. Saint Mark left the City to avoid concelebrating with the Unionist Patriarch. He was exiled by the Emperor to Lemnos, but was freed in 1442. He continued to oppose the Union until his repose in 1444. In 1452 the Union was officially proclaimed in Constantinople, but the hoped-for Western aid was not forthcoming, and the City fell to the Turks in 1453.

Welcome to Episode 254 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we discuss this and all of our podcast episodes. Today we are continuing to review Cicero's "On the Nature of The Gods," which began with the Epicurean spokesman Velleius defending the Epicurean point of view. This week will continue into Section 42 as Cotta, the Academic Skeptic, continues to attack the Epicurean view of the nature of divinity. Today's Text XLII. And why should we worship them from an admiration only of that nature in which we can behold nothing excellent? and as for that freedom from superstition, which you are in the habit of boasting of so much, it is easy to be free from that feeling when you have renounced all belief in the power of the Gods; unless, indeed, you imagine that Diagoras or Theodorus, who absolutely denied the being of the Gods, could possibly be superstitious. I do not suppose that even Protagoras could, who doubted whether there were Gods or not. The opinions of these philosophers are not only destructive of superstition, which arises from a vain fear of the Gods, but of religion also, which consists in a pious adoration of them. What think you of those who have asserted that the whole doctrine concerning the immortal Gods was the invention of politicians, whose view was to govern that part of the community by religion which reason could not influence? Are not their opinions subversive of all religion? Or what religion did Prodicus the Chian leave to men, who held that everything beneficial to human life should be numbered among the Gods? Were not they likewise void of religion who taught that the Deities, at present the object of our prayers and adoration, were valiant, illustrious, and mighty men who arose to divinity after death? Euhemerus, whom our Ennius translated, and followed more than other authors, has particularly advanced this doctrine, and treated of the deaths and burials of the Gods; can he, then, be said to have confirmed religion, or, rather, to have totally subverted it? I shall say nothing of that sacred and august Eleusina, into whose mysteries the most distant nations were initiated, nor of the solemnities in Samothrace, or in Lemnos, secretly resorted to by night, and surrounded by thick and shady groves; which, if they were properly explained, and reduced to reasonable principles, would rather explain the nature of things than discover the knowledge of the Gods. XLIII. Even that great man Democritus, from whose fountains Epicurus watered his little garden, seems to me to be very inferior to his usual acuteness when speaking about the nature of the Gods. For at one time he thinks that there are images endowed with divinity, inherent in the universality of things; at another, that the principles and minds contained in the universe are Gods; then he attributes divinity to animated images, employing themselves in doing us good or harm; and, lastly, he speaks of certain images of such vast extent that they encompass the whole outside of the universe; all which opinions are more worthy of the country of Democritus than of Democritus himself; for who can frame in his mind any ideas of such images? who can admire them? who can think they merit a religious adoration?

Welcome to Episode 252 of Lucretius Today. This is a podcast dedicated to the poet Lucretius, who wrote "On The Nature of Things," the most complete presentation of Epicurean philosophy left to us from the ancient world. Each week we walk you through the Epicurean texts, and we discuss how Epicurean philosophy can apply to you today. If you find the Epicurean worldview attractive, we invite you to join us in the study of Epicurus at EpicureanFriends.com, where we have a thread to discuss this and all of our podcast episodes. Today we are continuing to review Cicero's "On the Nature of The Gods," which began with the Epicurean spokesman Velleius defending the Epicurean point of view. This week will continue into Section 41 as Cotta, the Academic Skeptic, continues to attack the Epicurean view of the nature of divinity. Today's Text: XLI. But they are free from pain. Is that sufficient for beings who are supposed to enjoy all good things and the most supreme felicity? The Deity, they say, is constantly meditating on his own happiness, for he has no other idea which can possibly occupy his mind. Consider a little; reflect what a figure the Deity would make if he were to be idly thinking of nothing through all eternity but “It is very well with me, and I am happy;” nor do I see why this happy Deity should not fear being destroyed, since, without any intermission, he is driven and agitated by an everlasting incursion of atoms, and since images are constantly floating off from him. Your Deity, therefore, is neither happy nor eternal. Epicurus, it seems, has written books concerning sanctity and piety towards the Gods. But how does he speak on these subjects? You would say that you were listening to Coruncanius or Scævola, the high-priests, and not to a man who tore up all religion by the roots, and who overthrew the temples and altars of the immortal Gods; not, indeed, with hands, like Xerxes, but with arguments; for what reason is there for your saying that men ought to worship the Gods, when the Gods not only do not regard men, but are entirely careless of everything, and absolutely do nothing at all? But they are, you say, of so glorious and excellent a nature that a wise man is induced by their excellence to adore them. Can there be any glory or excellence in that nature which only contemplates its own happiness, and neither will do, nor does, nor ever did anything? Besides, what piety is due to a being from whom you receive nothing? Or how can you, or any one else, be indebted to him who bestows no benefits? For piety is only justice towards the Gods; but what right have they to it, when there is no communication whatever between the Gods and men? And sanctity is the knowledge of how we ought to worship them; but I do not understand why they are to be worshipped, if we are neither to receive nor expect any good from them. XLII. And why should we worship them from an admiration only of that nature in which we can behold nothing excellent? and as for that freedom from superstition, which you are in the habit of boasting of so much, it is easy to be free from that feeling when you have renounced all belief in the power of the Gods; unless, indeed, you imagine that Diagoras or Theodorus, who absolutely denied the being of the Gods, could possibly be superstitious. I do not suppose that even Protagoras could, who doubted whether there were Gods or not. The opinions of these philosophers are not only destructive of superstition, which arises from a vain fear of the Gods, but of religion also, which consists in a pious adoration of them. What think you of those who have asserted that the whole doctrine concerning the immortal Gods was the invention of politicians, whose view was to govern that part of the community by religion which reason could not influence? Are not their opinions subversive of all religion? Or what religion did Prodicus the Chian leave to men, who held that everything beneficial to human life should be numbered among the Gods?

In this final Trojan episode, the ghosts of the war rise up and tell tales of loss and consolation.  Sensitive listeners be aware  - some of the stories are disturbing. Written and narrated by Bibi Jacob. Sound and production by Geoff Chong. Extracts from 17314 Aisakos and 884 Priamus feature Ciaran Cresswell and Les Clack. A thank you to Chloe Dunn.

We continue with my series about gold in pre-history today with one of the earliest and most enduring of the golden myths: Jason and the Golden Fleece. This story, which took place about a generation before the Trojan War, starts out as a hero's quest, but develops into a story of betrayal and vengeance with, like many a Greek myth, a tragic ending. In Iolcos, Pelias usurped his brother Aeson, the rightful king, to take the throne. He then had all Aeson's descendents killed. People were ruthless in those days.Aeson's son Jason, however, survived the massacre, saved by a wheeze: when he was born, his mother had all her servants cry to fool Pelias into thinking he was still-born. She then smuggled Jason away to be reared by Chiron, “the wisest and justest of all the centaurs.” Chiron was the son of Cronos and would count among his high-achieving students Achilles, Odysseus, Hercules, Theseus and Perseus. Meanwhile, an oracle warned Aeson “to fear the man with one sandal”. No doubt feeling guilty about his ill-gotten kingship, he lived in dread of that prophecy.When Jason was fully grown, he set off to Iolcos to claim his throne. On his way, he chanced upon an old lady trying to cross a river and helped her across. In doing so he lost his sandal. Little did he know, that old lady was Hera, wife of Zeus, Queen of the Gods. She would become his ally.In Iolcos, Jason was announced as a man in one sandal. He came before King Pelias, revealed who he was and claimed the kingdom. Pelias agreed to cede the kingdom, but only on one condition: that Jason brought him the fleece of the golden ram. He had set Jason an impossible task, a task that would take him beyond the known world (which at this point was about as far as the Black Sea), to the barbarian kingdom of Colchis. But Jason agreed.The fleece, so the story went, was of a magical ram that had once belonged to Zeus. It hung from a tree in a sacred grove, guarded by bulls with hooves of brass and breath of fire, and a dragon that never slept, whose teeth became soldiers when planted in the ground. The fleece belonged to Aietes, King of Colchis, son of the sun god, Helios, no less. Another oracle had foretold that Aietes would lose his kingdom, if he lost his fleece. I love how legends and myths are born out of truths and here is a case in point. East of the Black Sea in what today is Georgia - in Colchis in other words - sheepskins were used to pan gold from rivers. The fleeces were stretched over a wooden frame and then submerged in rivers, where the tight curls of the sheep's coat would catch nuggets and specks of gold carried down in the rushing water from placer deposits upstream. The fleeces were then hung in trees to dry, after which the gold was combed out. If you have a wet fleece full of alluvial gold hanging to dry in a tree, you are going to make sure it is well guarded - by bulls and dragons, if necessary. It's quite easy to see how this practice had evolved into the myth of a golden fleece as the story spread east from the other side of the Black Sea. Three Impossible TasksJason had a ship, the Argo, built. He assembled a crew - the Argonauts - a band of heroes which included such luminaries as Hercules, the twins Castor and Pollux, Peleus (father of Achilles), Orpheus (the musician) and Atlanta (the virgin huntress who would never marry). They set off on what is seen by some as the first long-distance voyage ever undertaken, perhaps the first time a Greek had successfully navigated the hostile currents of the Bosphorus. En route, the Argonauts stopped on the Isle of Lemnos, inhabited by a band of women who had killed their husbands. There they fathered a new people with them, the Minyae. Sounds like a good holiday. They fought giants with six arms, they killed harpies, they navigated the clashing rocks of the Bosphorus and eventually arrived in Colchis. There King Aietes set Jason an impossible task - actually three - if he wanted to claim the fleece as his own. He had to harness the fire-breathing oxen and plough a field with them. He had to sow a field with dragon's teeth and fight the army of phantom soldiers that resulted. And, finally, he had to overcome the dragon.Needless to say, Jason was discouraged, but Hera, Jason's ally, leant on Aphrodite, goddess of love, to lend a hand. She sent her son, Eros, to shoot one of his arrows and it struck Aietes' daughter, Medea, who fell in love with Jason. Medea gave Jason an ointment to protect him from the oxen's fire. She showed him how to defeat the phantom soldiers with a rock that would confuse them into fighting each other. She gave him a potion to send the dragon to sleep, so that he could take the fleece.  With the fleece in hand, Jason and his Argonauts attempted their escape. To help them, Medea murdered her brother and threw pieces of his body into the sea. Grief-stricken, Aietes stopped to collect the pieces of body, allowing Jason, Medea and the Argonauts to get away.There were as many adventures on the way home. They passed the infamous Sirens, whose songs enticed sailors, only for their ships to wreck on the rocks. But Orpheus played his lyre and drowned their songs with music that was more beautiful. They could not pass Crete, for the rocks that the bronze man Talos threw at them, but again they were saved by Medea, who cast a spell on Talos and then killed him.Back at Iolcos, Jason's father, Aeson, was too old to participate in the celebrations, but Medea used her witchcraft to rejuvenate him.  Pelias' daughters asked her to do the same for the ageing Pelias. Medea advised them to chop him up and put him in a cauldron to boil, which they duly did. It was a trick, of course, and Pelias was no more. But Jason and Medea were exiled for the murder and they fled to city of Corinth. There Jason betrayed Medea by marrying the king's daughter. Medea confronted Jason, heartbroken, but Jason blamed Aphrodite for having made Medea fall in love with him. Medea would have her revenge, a revenge which has become the subject of many a drama since, not least at the National Rheatre.She gave Jason's newly betrothed a dress that stuck to her body and burned her to death. The king died with his daughter as he tried to save her. Then Medea killed her own two sons, born by Jason, and fled to Athens in a chariot of dragons sent by her grandfather, the sun-god Helios.Jason returned to Iolcus to claim his kingdom, but as a result of breaking his vow to love Medea forever, he lost the favour of Hera. He died lonely and unhappy, asleep on the rotting Argo.It's a buccaneering adventure story, full of the human psychological flaws that the Ancient Greeks seemed so cognizant of, with a typically Greek tragic end. The formula of hero, dark power and female helper has become the backbone of numerous plots since, not least in Hollywood, while the premise - a young man setting off in search of his fortune, made of gold - is the premise of every youngster setting off on his or her life's adventure.My show on gold at the Edinburgh Fringe this August will take place at Panmure House, the room in which  Adam Smith wrote Wealth of Nations.

He assembled a crew - the Argonauts - a band of heroes which included such luminaries as Hercules, the twins Castor and Pollux, Peleus (father of Achilles), Orpheus (the musician) and Atlanta (the virgin huntress who would never marry). They set off on what is seen by some as the first long-distance voyage ever undertaken, perhaps the first time a Greek had successfully navigated the hostile currents of the Bosphorus. En route, the Argonauts stopped on the Isle of Lemnos, inhabited by a band of women who had killed their husbands. There they fathered a new people with them, the Minyae. Sounds like a good holiday. They fought giants with six arms, they killed harpies, they navigated the clashing rocks of the Bosphorus and eventually arrived in Colchis. There King Aietes set Jason an impossible task - actually three - if he wanted to claim the fleece as his own. He had to harness the fire-breathing oxen and plough a field with them. He had to sow a field with dragon's teeth and fight the army of phantom soldiers that resulted. And, finally, he had to overcome the dragon.Needless to say, Jason was discouraged, but Hera, Jason's ally, leant on Aphrodite, goddess of love, to lend a hand. She sent her son, Eros, to shoot one of his arrows and it struck Aietes' daughter, Medea, who fell in love with Jason. Medea gave Jason an ointment to protect him from the oxen's fire. She showed him how to defeat the phantom soldiers with a rock that would confuse them into fighting each other. She gave him a potion to send the dragon to sleep, so that he could take the fleece.  With the fleece in hand, Jason and his Argonauts attempted their escape. To help them, Medea murdered her brother and threw pieces of his body into the sea. Grief-stricken, Aietes stopped to collect the pieces of body, allowing Jason, Medea and the Argonauts to get away.There were as many adventures on the way home. They passed the infamous Sirens, whose songs enticed sailors, only for their ships to wreck on the rocks. But Orpheus played his lyre and drowned their songs with music that was more beautiful. They could not pass Crete, for the rocks that the bronze man Talos threw at them, but again they were saved by Medea, who cast a spell on Talos and then killed him.Back at Iolcos, Jason's father, Aeson, was too old to participate in the celebrations, but Medea used her witchcraft to rejuvenate him.  Pelias' daughters asked her to do the same for the ageing Pelias. Medea advised them to chop him up and put him in a cauldron to boil, which they duly did. It was a trick, of course, and Pelias was no more. But Jason and Medea were exiled for the murder and they fled to city of Corinth. There Jason betrayed Medea by marrying the king's daughter. Medea confronted Jason, heartbroken, but Jason blamed Aphrodite for having made Medea fall in love with him. Medea would have her revenge, a revenge which has become the subject of many a drama since, not least at the National Rheatre.She gave Jason's newly betrothed a dress that stuck to her body and burned her to death. The king died with his daughter as he tried to save her. Then Medea killed her own two sons, born by Jason, and fled to Athens in a chariot of dragons sent by her grandfather, the sun-god Helios.Jason returned to Iolcus to claim his kingdom, but as a result of breaking his vow to love Medea forever, he lost the favour of Hera. He died lonely and unhappy, asleep on the rotting Argo.It's a buccaneering adventure story, full of the human psychological flaws that the Ancient Greeks seemed so cognizant of, with a typically Greek tragic end. The formula of hero, dark power and female helper has become the backbone of numerous plots since, not least in Hollywood, while the premise - a young man setting off in search of his fortune, made of gold - is the premise of every youngster setting off on his or her life's adventure.My show on gold at the Edinburgh Fringe this August will take place at Panmure House, the room in which  Adam Smith wrote Wealth of Nations.

James aka Mr. Too Damn Children's Atlas himself came over on probably the hottest day of the year to whip us into shape RE: The Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean regions, rosés, and Phoenicians. Spoiler alert: We really push the definition of what a rosé can be by, like, wine #3. This is going to be such a cool season. Please, please, please, seek out wine from here and drink it.

We had so much fun listening to this week's guest, Arthur Bolkas, who kept us on the edge of our seats with his tale of his armed robbing stint back in the day. Arthur was born in Carlton to parents from Lemnos, Greece, and was a top athlete in school, throwing javlin, and becoming both dux and school captain. He enrolled in Arts and Law at Melbourne University and the pressure started to mount. What happened next? This is the first of a two-part special with Arthur. We hope you enjoy the episode.

This holy defender of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church labored in the final days of the Byzantine Empire, when, pressed on all sides by the Turks, the Emperor in desperation sought union with (or rather submission to) the Papacy in hopes of obtaining aid from the West. It was St Mark who stood almost alone to prevent such a disaster to the Faith.   He was born in Constantinople in 1392 to devout parents. He received a thorough education and seemed destined for a secular career, but at the age of twenty- six he abandoned all worldly claims and became a monk in a small monastery in Nicomedia. Soon the Turkish threat forced him to return to Constantinople, where, continuing in the monastic life, he wrote a number of treatises on prayer and the dogmas of the Church. In time he was ordained priest, then, at the insistence of the Emperor John VIII Paleologos was made Metropolitan of Ephesus. The Emperor also prevailed on him to join the delegation which traveled to the Council of Florence to consider the reunion of the Orthodox Church and the churches under the Papacy. (Saint Mark went as exarch of the Patriarchs of Jerusalem, Antioch and Alexandria, who were unable to attend.)   The Greek delegation included the Emperor and the Patriarch of Constantinople. All, including Metropolitan Mark, began with great hopes that a true union in faith might result from the Council, but as the sessions proceeded, it soon became clear that Pope Eugenius and his theologians were interested only in securing submission of the Eastern Church to the Papacy and its theology. The Metropolitan spoke forcefully against various Latin dogmas such as the filioque and Purgatory, but the Greek delegation, desperate for western aid, bowed to expediency and agreed to sign a document of Union which would have denied the Orthodox Faith itself. Saint Mark was the only member of the delegation who refused to sign. When the Pope heard of this, he said "The bishop of Ephesus has not signed, so we have achieved nothing!"   When the delegation returned to Constantinople, the signers of the false Union were received with universal condemnation by the people, while Metropolitan Mark was hailed as a hero. The churches headed by Unionists were soon almost empty, while the people flocked to the churches headed by those loyal to Orthodoxy. Saint Mark left the City to avoid concelebrating with the Unionist Patriarch. He was exiled by the Emperor to Lemnos, but was freed in 1442. He continued to oppose the Union until his repose in 1444. In 1452 the Union was officially proclaimed in Constantinople, but the hoped-for Western aid was not forthcoming, and the City fell to the Turks in 1453.

Uno de los frentes más desconocidos de la primera guerra mundial fue el de Oriente Medio. Hasta allí, en aquel entonces parte del imperio otomano, la guerra llegó más tarde, ya entrado 1915, pero se mantuvo hasta finales de 1918. Las potencias centrales sostuvieron una lucha a muerte contra los británicos. Las primeras empujaban hacia Egipto, los segundos trataban de debilitar al imperio otomano a sabiendas de que eso supondría un coste para Alemania. Las campañas de Oriente Medio estuvieron concentradas en Siria, Palestina y la península del Sinaí ya que fue por este último sitio, por el canal de Suez concretamente, por donde rompieron las hostilidades. Los otomanos trataron con la ayuda de la Alemania imperial de hacerse con el control del canal, que se encontraba en el protectorado británico de Egipto. No lo consiguieron, pero aquello dio lugar a que dos grandes ejércitos, la fuerza expedicionaria egipcia y el cuarto ejército otomano chocasen para apoderarse del Sinaí, que servía como puerta de acceso a Siria y Arabia. Los británicos se impusieron en el Sinaí gracias a su columna del desierto. Con la península en su poder avanzaron hacia el interior, penetraron en Palestina y se hicieron con la ciudad de Jerusalén en 1917. Pero los otomanos no estaban dispuestos a abandonar una parte tan importante de su imperio. Dieron la batalla en Siria y frenaron a los aliados en Galilea. Los ejércitos que enviaba el sultán eran capaces de ralentizar la marcha de los británicos, pero no de detenerla. La fuerza expedicionaria egipcia fue derrotando a los otomanos batalla tras batalla empleando material bélico de última generación y sacrificando muchas vidas, pero el botín de guerra merecía la pena. Siguieron hacia el norte y se adueñaron de Damasco y de Alepo situándose así en las puertas mismas de la península de Anatolia. En ese punto la guerra ya estaba perdida para las potencias centrales. El Gobierno del sultán Mehmed VI, que acababa de llegar al trono tras la muerte de su hermano, solicitó el armisticio a los británicos. Éstos se lo concedieron infligiendo una dolorosa humillación a sus enemigos. El armisticio fue firmado a bordo del acorazado Agamenón de la Royal Navy en las aguas de Mudros, un puerto de la isla griega de Lemnos. Los británicos impusieron condiciones muy dolorosas para no seguir avanzando. Desmovilizaron al ejército otomano, le obligaron a replegar todas las unidades que se encontrasen fuera de Anatolia y ocuparon Constantinopla. Tras ello llegaría la partición y liquidación de un imperio centenario. De aquella guerra que en su momento en Europa no importó demasiado y, de hecho, se consideró un despilfarro de recursos, surgió el Oriente Medio contemporáneo y toda la agitación que le ha acompañado. Británicos y franceses se repartieron los restos del imperio en Mesopotamia, Arabia y el Levante. Anatolia, por su parte, quedó ocupada y a merced de los aliados. Años más tarde de aquel maremagno nacería la actual república de Turquía de la mano de Mustafá Kemal Atatürk, y todos los Estados que hoy conforman esa región del mundo de Arabia Saudita a Siria pasando por Irak, el Líbano, Jordania e Israel. Todo se decidió en una guerra de tres años en la que los británicos encontraron muchos aliados sobre el terreno. Las tribus árabes vieron la oportunidad de independizarse de los turcos otomanos tras pasar cientos de años sometidos a ellos. Se rebelaron y sumaron sus fuerzas a las del Reino Unido. Pero la herencia resultó estar muy disputada, tanto que aún hoy, más de un siglo después los ecos de aquella guerra se dejan sentir.

Os argonautas, ao embarcarem para a distante Cólquida, buscavam mais do que o velocino de ouro. Eles queriam mergulhar em uma cruzada pelo desconhecido e encontrar aventuras fantásticas pelo caminho. Capitaneados por Jasão – que por sua vez é guiado por Atena –, a embarcação passa pela Ilha de Lemnos, que vivia sob uma maldição de Afrodite; depois, segue para as terras do rei Fineu atrás de orientação, e onde são obrigados a enfrentar as terríveis harpias; e cruza as Simplégades, as temíveis rochas que se chocam. Chegando à Cólquida, Jasão conhece Medeia, uma das personagens femininas mais importantes da literatura ocidental.

Ouzo Talk pauses to commemorate and remember the sacrifice of thousands of young men and women who put their lives on hold, or lost their lives in defence of their countries during WWII. For Greece, the losses were staggering – amounting to some 10% of the total male population. Alongside those Greeks, particularly in places like Crete and Lemnos, were the ANZACs – the Australia and New Zealand Army Corp. Tom and Nick are joined by Archaeologist and Historian Dr Michael Bendon, and proud Cretan Nick Andriotakis to bring to light just some of the untold stories of the individuals fighting that war.

The idea of magic wasn't strange in ancient Greece. But it has a noticeable overlap with what we'd consider science or religion today – with a dash of superstition thrown in for flavor. Magic, it was believed, could provide protection. It was a source of healing. It was a way to ensure you were successful in business, in love, and really in anything you wanted to be successful doing. It could also be used as a method for viewing and predicting the future. But it could also get you arrested, sentenced, and executed -- sometimes. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

We welcome another special guest this week, Hellenistic pagan witch Hannah Bute Howe, who gives us a much-needed overview of Greek magical beliefs and practices before we discuss Theoris of Lemnos, a fourth-century BC witch whose trial constitutes the most detailed account of a witch trial to survive from Classical Greece. Then, we discuss the controversial and mysterious story of Greek virgin martyr St. Philomena. Once again, there's somehow too much urine. Enjoying the podcast?

Turkey has issued a NAVTEX for the survey vessel 'Cesme' for the next two weeks for an area between Lemnos, Skyros and Alonissos weeks after the new round of exploratory talks with Greece and while Antonio Gutteres is pursuing talks for the Cyprus question. - Η Τουρκία συνεχίζει τις προκλήσεις στο Αιγαίο.

Sophocles’ Philoctetes. Although less well known than his Oedipus Rex and Antigone, this play has especially received notice lately in Seamus Heaney’s adaptation entitled “The Cure at Troy” – with the evocative words spoken by the chorus: “History says, don't hope / On this side of the grave. / But then, once in a lifetime / The longed-for tidal wave / Of justice can rise up, / And hope and history rhyme.” The story takes place near the end of the Trojan War – the Greeks have found out that they need to retrieve a warrior who had been wounded and left behind on the island of Lemnos. Only he – Philoctetes – and the bow he had as a gift from the dying Heracles – would allow them to finally defeat Troy. We begin as Odysseus has arrived on the island, bringing Neoptolemus, the son of the now dead Achilles, to help him. Neoptolemus will soon be forced to test his own integrity against the deception planned by Odysseus.

Long before the Troy of The Iliad and The Odyssey, there was a civilization in Anatolia at Troy that derived its foundation from the Old European matriarchies and the "Amazons." Once the women of Old Europe began to flee, the established strongholds in the Aegean and the Black Sea. Lesbos, Lemnos, Troy, Ephesus, were all establish by the women and men who fled the destruction of the Indo-European invaders and who looked to create a defensive stronghold that would preserve their matriarchies. Vicki Noble tells the story. Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden host.

Upon the ashes of a lost fallen female-centric civilization arose a new figure in human culture: The Amazon. In part five, we start to fill in the details of what this Amazon culture was like and how men viewed it-- particularly in the case of the civilization on Lemnos. Vicki Noble leads the discussion. Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden host.

In part four, we look at the possible tantalizing connections between the sacred script of Old Europe and the Linear A of Crete-- as well as the linguistic connection to Lemnos and maybe-- yes, even mabye-- the Amazons!. Special guest: Vicki Noble Hosts: Sean Marlon Newcombe Dawn "Sam" Alden

Había una vez un heroe griego llamado Orion. Orion era hijo de el Dios Poseidon y Euriale, hija de el Rey Minos de Creta. Debido a que su padre poseidon era el Dios de todos los mares, Poseidon nacio con el don de andar sobre las aguas y esto le permitia viajar facilmente entre las islas de el mar griego. Un dia Orion llego a la isla de Quios donde reinaba el Rey Enopion, el cual tenia una hija muy bella llamada Mérope. Orion puso sus ojos sobre la bella muchacha y rapidamente se enamoro de ella. Pero El rey Enopion, en desacuerdo con los amores de Orion con su hija decidio castigarlo y en una noche de borrachera aprovecho para sacarle los ojos y arrojarlo al mar. Ciego y abandonado el el mar, Orion alcanzo a llegar a La isla de Lemnos donde se decia que se encontraba Hefestos el dios del fuego y experto herrero. Viendo hefesto a Orion desvalido y ciego se apiado de el, le presto a su criado Cedalión para que lo acompañara hasta el este donde se encontraba Helios. Orion grande y poderoso cargo a Cedalión en sus hombros y caminando sobre las aguas del mar llegaron hasta la morada del dios Helios, el sol. Helios tomo uno de sus rayos y llevo de nuevo la luz a los ojos de Orion. Orion ya de nuevo con su vista, quiso vengarse del rey Enopion, pero este se oculto bajo la tierra y asi pudo escapar de la ira de Orion, luego en su peregrinar llego a la isla de Creta donde conocio a la diosa Artemis quien le enseño a cazar. Cuenta el Mito que un dia mientras estaba cazando se encontro con Pleione la esposa del Tital Atlas que viajaba con sus siete hijas. Todas ellas muy bellas. Orion desde el momento que las vio se enamoro de ellas y presa de sus pasiones comenzo a seguirlas por donde ellas viajaban. Durante siete años años las persiguio hasta que un dia su padre Atlas, el Tital que soporta el mundo entre sus hombros, le pidio a Zeus que interviera. ZEUS decidio que la mejor manera de hacerlo era convirtiendolas en Palomas. Asi las hijas de pleione, conocidas como las pleyades, volaron hasta el cielo como palomas y luego se convirtieron en las estrellas que hoy conocemos como las pleyades, un grupo de estrellas que se pueden reconocer a simple vista en el firmamento. Orion siguio buscandolas permanentemente y cuentan que durante la busqueda un escorpion gigantesco lo mato y Zeus le permitio subir al firmamento donde se transformo en la constelacion de orion, que aun en el cielo sigue buscando por toda la eternidad a las bellas hermanas las pleyades. Cuentan ademas el mito griego que Atlas de nuevo se quejo con zeus y este decidio colocar el escorpion en el cielo

Le grand départ et la première escale, pas si désagréable…

Over the course of 1915, most of the 50,000 Australian personnel who served at Gallipoli passed through the island of Lemnos. Centring his attention on the Australian experience of the island, historian Jim Claven shares unique and humanising insights into the Gallipoli campaign.   Lemnos and Gallipoli Revealed is available through the Shrine shop.

The mythic hunter Orion, son of the sea-god Poseidon, was himself mortal, but his godly lineage enabled impossible heroic feats, earning him a place in the night sky as a constellation. NASA has developed its own Orion, a hunter for knowledge not of this Earth: a spacecraft designed for humanity's return to the Moon and exploration of deep space.
