Achilles. Agamemnon. Odysseus. Hector. The lives of these and many other men in the greatest epics of ancient Greece have been pored over endlessly in the past three millennia. But these are not just tales about heroic men. There are scores of women as well—complex, fascinating women whose stories have gone unexplored for far too long. In Penelope's Bones: A New History of Homer's World through the Women Written Out of It (University of Chicago Press, 2025), award-winning classicist and historian Dr. Emily Hauser pieces together compelling evidence from archaeological excavations and scientific discoveries to unearth the richly textured lives of women in Bronze Age Greece—the era of Homer's heroes. Here, for the first time, we come to understand the everyday lives and experiences of the real women who stand behind the legends of Helen, Briseis, Cassandra, Aphrodite, Circe, Athena, Hera, Calypso, Penelope, and more. In this captivating journey through Homer's world, Dr. Hauser explains era-defining discoveries, such as the excavation of Troy and the decipherment of Linear B tablets that reveal thousands of captive women and their children; more recent finds like the tomb of the Griffin Warrior at Pylos, whose tomb contents challenge traditional gender attributes; DNA evidence showing that groups of warriors buried near the Black Sea with their weapons and steeds were, in fact, Amazon-like female fighters; a prehistoric dye workshop on Crete that casts fresh light on “women's work” of dyeing, spinning, and weaving textiles; and a superbly preserved shipwreck off the coast of Turkey whose contents tell of the economic and diplomatic networks crisscrossing the Bronze Age Mediterranean. Essential reading for fans of Madeline Miller or Natalie Haynes, this riveting new history brings to life the women of the Bronze Age Aegean as never before, offering a groundbreaking reassessment of the ancient world. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Piše Sanja Podržaj, bere Eva Longyka Marušlič. Druga pesniška knjiga pesnice, prevajalke in aktivistke Ane Makuc Švercam lubenice je zorela dolgo časa in je s provokativno podobo, ki jo je ustvarila ilustratorka in vizualna umetnica Samira Kentrić, med bralke in bralce prišla konec lanskega leta. Zbirka izrazito angažiranih pesmi je pisana na način, ki ga poznamo že iz avtoričinega prvenca Ljubica Rolanda Barthesa – v vsaki pesmi spregovori druga oseba, vsaka v svojem unikatnem položaju. V njem beremo pesmi, ki se vživljajo v nekatere znane ženske iz zgodovine in literature. Med drugim imajo besedo fiktivne Saloma, Lolita in Rdeča kapica ter zelo resnične Virginia Woolf, Frida Kahlo in Sylvia Plath. Pesmi se berejo kot njihovi monologi in skušajo naslikati njihov psihološki portret. To nam, bralkam in bralcem, ponuja drugačen pogled na posameznico, ki je sicer imenovana, a bi bila lahko tudi slehernica, ter izpostavlja kompleksnost osebnosti, ki niso brez notranjih nasprotij in konfliktov. Te postopke poznamo na primer iz romanov hrvaške pisateljice Slavenke Drakulić, ki se je vživljala v Frido Khalo, Milevo Marić in v Doro Maar, ali pa iz svetovne uspešnice ameriške pisateljice Madeline Miller, ki je v romanu Kirka na ta način pisala o mitski čarovnici Kirki, znani iz Odiseje. Takšen pristop je izrazito feminističen, saj iz upovedovanja intimnega ustvarja družbeno kritiko in s tem potrjuje, da je osebno (še vedno) politično. Na podlagi primera namreč pokaže na neenakost in nepravičnost v patriarhalni družbi. Ti primeri pogosto izhajajo iz preteklosti, a kljub temu so vzporednice z današnjim časom jasne. Čeprav se zdi, da smo kot družba na področju pravic žensk in enakopravnosti spolov napredovali, se ob branju tovrstne literature vse prevečkrat pokaže, da nekatere težave trdovratno vztrajajo. In prav o teh lahko beremo v zbirki Švercam lubenice. Tudi v zbirki Švercam lubenice spregovorijo nekatere znane ženske, kot sta fiktivni Gospa Dalloway iz romana Virginie Woolf in Urška iz Prešernovega Povodnega moža, pa tudi pesnica Emily Dickinson. Vendar pa je večina govork in govorcev tokrat brezimnih posameznikov. Poleg žensk imajo besedo tudi otroci, moški in celo duhovi. Prepoznamo lahko celo nekatere dogodke, ki so odmevali v javnosti, na primer umor novinarke Kim Wall in reševanje tajskih dečkov iz poplavljene jame. Če zbirko primerjamo z avtoričinim prvencem, je tematsko bolj raznolika. Obsega petindvajset pesmi, med katerimi so nekatere povezane z naslovi, na primer Ženska v belem 1 in 2, v katerih spregovori Emily Dickinson, a bi ju lahko brali tudi kot credo pesnice, ki pravi: »Pišem, torej sem.« Na podoben način je skozi celotno zbirko posejanih sedem pesmi z naslovom Švercam lubenice, ki tudi tvorijo njeno jedro. V teh pesmih prisluhnemo eni govorki, vsaj tako se zdi, ženski, ki razmišlja o svoji nosečnosti, spreminjajočem se telesu in porodu, o tem, da bo po njem del nje »sam hodil po svetu«. Teh sedem pesmi predstavlja najmočnejši del zbirke, z njimi se najtesneje povezujejo tudi ilustracije, ki iz lubeničnih pešk tvorijo oblike ženskega telesa ali delov telesa in podobe, ki spominjajo na plod, zgovorna pa je tudi izbira semen za ustvarjanje le-teh. »Švercanje lubenic« postane metafora za nosečnost, za napet in težek trebuh pod široko bundo, kot lahko beremo v eni izmed pesmi. O tem obdobju, o katerem pogosto beremo same lepe stvari, namreč ko nosečnica sije, žari, je blažena, Ana Makuc piše bolj večplastno. To ni čas absolutnega veselja nad novim življenjem, temveč tudi negotovosti, strahu in sprememb, zaradi katerih se zamaje odnos do telesa in lastne identitete, ki se znajde na preizkušnji: »Težko je vedeti, / kdo si, / ko meje tvojega telesa / niso meje tvoje kože.« Otrok je del materinega telesa in tujek hkrati, materinstvo pa pomeni, vsaj za nekaj časa, obstajati za nekoga drugega. To ne prinese vedno samo pozitivnih občutkov, vendar družba od žensk, ki postanejo matere, to pričakuje. Tabu tako še vedno ostaja poporodna depresija, o kateri beremo v pesmi Nočna varuška, ali pa dejstvo, da dve rdeči črtici nista vedno zaželeni, kot v pesmi Ostani s težavo. Pesmi v zbirki Švercam lubenice so izrazito pripovedne in oprijemljive, na ta način omogočajo, da se tudi bralke in bralci zlahka vživimo v pesniške govorke in govorce. Ena od osnovnih funkcij branja je prav to, da se z vživljanjem v izkušnje drugih ljudi gradi empatija. Predsodki pogosto izhajajo iz neznanja in nerazumevanja, pesmi Ane Makuc pa so priložnost, da prisluhnemo. A zbirka ni brez svojih težav. Medtem ko se sedem pesmi Švercam lubenice tematsko zelo dobro povezuje z večino drugih v zbirki, ki govorijo o materinstvu, skrbstvenem delu, družinskem nasilju in zlorabi, pa nekaj pesmi izstopa, kot da bi se v zbirki znašle po naključju ali zaradi aktualnosti problematike. Morda se tako zdi, ker so po zbirki na redko posejane in jih ni veliko ter tako delujejo kot nekakšna anomalija v nizu pesmi, osredotočenih na ženske izkušnje. Takšna je na primer pesem Deport or game, v kateri lahko prepoznamo besede begunca iz dokumentarnega filma Rdeči gozdovi Nike Autor. Game oziroma igra predstavlja tvegano prečkanje schengenske meje, kar nekateri poskušajo tudi dvajsetkrat, kot beremo v pesmi, za nekatere pa je poskus usoden. Tako si lahko predstavljamo, da je bil usoden za begunko z dojenčkom, katere duh spregovori v pesmi Duh begunke z dojenčkom. Švercanje v naslovu namiguje tudi na prehajanje čez mejo in se s tem navezuje na begunsko problematiko, a vendar se ob pogledu na zbirko kot celoto zdi, da so bile nekatere pesmi dodane zgolj zato, da bi bilo v njej čim več aktualnih in angažiranih vsebin, čeprav bi bila brez njih vsebinsko povsem zaokrožena in celo bolj celovita. Še ena pesem, ki se zdi popolnoma iz konteksta zbirke, je pesem Jama, v kateri sledimo kolektivni pripovedi dvanajstih dečkov, ki so bili skupaj s trenerjem ujeti v jami 14 dni. Tu je še pesem Podmornica, ki govori o brutalnem umoru novinarke Kim Wall in zdi se, da pripoveduje njen morilec – pri tem sploh ni jasno, zakaj do besede ne pride žrtev zločina, ki ji je bil glas že tako ali tako odvzet. In medtem ko za večino pesmi lahko rečemo, da se upirajo črno-belemu pogledu na žensko izkušnjo, pa je recimo pesem Delo iz ljubezni na svoj način zasidrana v stereotipnih predstavah ženske – gospodinje, ki je »pri tridesetih s štirimi otroki / kot posušena starka«. Iz nje lahko razberemo nekakšno pomilovanje, skratka nasprotje od ubesedovanja večplastnosti in kompleksnosti ženskih življenj. Lahko se strinjamo z besedami Barbare Korun v spremni besedi: pesniška zbirka Ane Makuc Švercam lubenice marsikomu ne bo všeč. Je izrazito angažirana in politična, s tem pa nas sooča tudi z nekaterimi neprijetnimi dejstvi, ki bi jih morda najraje prezrli. Kljub nekaterim pomanjkljivostim gre za premišljene pesmi, ki nam ponujajo okno v svet nekoga drugega, drugačnega, in s tem priložnost, da premislimo o svojih prepričanjih. Ali bo knjiga prišla v roke tistim, ki bi takšna soočenja najbolj potrebovali, pa je stvar kakšne druge razprave. Vsekakor si želimo, da bi.

Words are worth a thousand pictures by Eli Woolery How does Sir Jony Ive, the famed former head of design at Apple, start every project? If, like me, you guessed by sketching, you'd be wrong. I was surprised to learn when he visited the design capstone class I co-teach at Stanford that he starts all projects by writing. But Jony gave our class a powerful example of why writing is a far more versatile conceptual tool than sketching. He spoke of working with a landscape designer on his property in the UK. The designer could have shared drawings, but instead he wrote about the night garden, and how the flagstones would radiate both the heat from the warmth of the day and the fragrance of the flowers along the pathway. “I write because I realized at art school that you can only draw a small percentage of the attributes of an object. You know, if I were to draw this [holds up a glass], you would understand only 20 percent of its nature. You would have no sense of its weight or material or temperature. You would have no sense of the way that it reacted to its environment. Writing helps me frame the problem. A lot of mistakes are made when you frame a problem, because you could already be dismissing 60 percent, 70 percent of the potential ideas.” —Jony Ive, in an interview with McKinsey Quarterly Free from the constraints that even the best draftsperson would face, Jony and his team can conceptualize not only the look of products, but the touch, weight, and even the emotions they trigger. Perhaps it shouldn't surprise us that good design can start with writing. Good writers are adept at taking an iterative approach to creativity. They create memorable characters through empathy. Their characters evolve, and they often reimagine old stories with new, innovative approaches. “The difference between writers and non-writers is that writers go back again and again. My old classics teacher used to say that the people who succeeded in classics were the people with the highest tolerance for failure. I think the same is true for writers.”—Madeline Miller, author of Circe and The Song of Achilles Madeline Miller is a great example of an author who uses all of these techniques in her writing. Her book Circe takes the titular character who was a peripheral—if important—part of Homer's Odyssey, and reimagines her as the protagonist. Her empathetic approach to the enchantress-in-exile reframes the story in a way that makes us feel a human connection to the not-quite-human character. Professional writers also aren't afraid to make mistakes as they go. Many have a bias toward action, creating the rough outlines (parallel to a prototype) of the work before going back to refine it. “My husband is a master carpenter. When I asked him if master carpenters make fewer mistakes than regular carpenters, he said no–but they recognize [the mistakes] more quickly. It's the same for writers as they gain experience.” —Madeline Miller, author of Circe and The Song of Achilles Former guests on the show, David Sedaris and Dan Pink, shared wisdom about writing that can teach us plenty about becoming better designers.

“It's very easy to say Gen Z's and millennials are demanding, they're needy, but if you really look at the core of what they want, they're basic human needs that we all want.”There's a generational divide in the work place that Madeline Miller wants to change. Madeline is a career coach who focuses specifically on Gen Z and millennial clients, who she says are entering the workforce with an entirely novel set of challenges.Madeline's clients are in their twenties, and grew up in the age of climate change, sweeping tech innovations, and being educated online during a global pandemic. That all amounts to a brand new kind of instability, so it's no wonder they need a unique type of guidance at work.In this episode, Madeline takes us through those shaky work stories - including her own, in her former life as a very successful but very unsatisfied entertainment lawyer (continuing with our over-representation of guests who were once dissatisfied lawyers…there's something to explore there!). She shares how she helps her clients find their footing, and explains why it's high time that employers respond to the needs of new generations of workers. Madeline Miller's BioI'm Madeline, founder of Coaching with Madeline. I strive to make executive coaching accessible for everyone—strengthening connections, cultivating empathy, and transforming leadership to create healthier, happier workplaces.Through my unique A.I.R. coaching formula, I've empowered hundreds of individuals worldwide to thrive in their careers. My program is grounded in strategies that work, drawing from my personal journey of transformation. I went from feeling stuck and unmotivated, bouncing from job to job, to becoming a Hollywood entertainment executive, then the production attorney for the James Bond franchise. In 2021, I started coaching Senior Executives in media, tech, and entertainment to become happier, more impactful leaders. Then, in 2024, I built my own coaching platform, Coaching with Madeline. It is designed to provide high-impact coaching in a relevant, future-building way—especially to Gen Z and Millennials, who often lack the career guidance and leadership development they deserve.

1/8: The Iliad Hardcover – September 26, 2023 by Homer (Author), Emily Wilson (Translator) https://www.amazon.com/Iliad-Homer/dp/1324001801 When Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017―revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that was “fresh, unpretentious and lean” (Madeline Miller, Washington Post)―critics lauded it as “a revelation” (Susan Chira, New York Times) and “a cultural landmark” (Charlotte Higgins,Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an equally revelatory translation of Homer's other great epic―the most revered war poem of all time. The Iliad roars with the clamor of arms, the bellowing boasts of victors, the fury and grief of loss, and the anguished cries of dying men. It sings, too, of the sublime magnitude of the world―the fierce beauty of nature and the gods' grand schemes beyond the ken of mortals. In Wilson's hands, this thrilling, magical, and often horrifying tale now gallops at a pace befitting its legendary battle scenes, in crisp but resonant language that evokes the poem's deep pathos and reveals palpably real, even “complicated,” characters―both human and divine. The culmination of a decade of intense engagement with antiquity's most surpassingly beautiful and emotionally complex poetry, Wilson's Iliad now gives us a complete Homer for our generation. 18th century Zeus the artist looking for a model for Helen of Troy

Are Gen Zs really difficult to work with?As more Gen Z employees enter and advance in the workforce, it's crucial for business leaders to understand this generation's unique experiences–shaped by remote work, self-directed learning, and the disruptions caused by the pandemic.So, how should managers lead this new cohort?

WHEN THE LEGEND BECOMES FACT, PRINT THE LEGEND: 4/8: The Iliad Hardcover by Homer (Author), Emily Wilson (Translator) https://www.amazon.com/Iliad-Homer/dp/1324001 When Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017―revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that was “fresh, unpretentious and lean” (Madeline Miller, Washington Post)―critics lauded it as “a revelation” (Susan Chira, New York Times) and “a cultural landmark” (Charlotte Higgins, Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an equally revelatory translation of Homer's other great epic―the most revered war poem of all time. The Iliad roars with the clamor of arms, the bellowing boasts of victors, the fury and grief of loss, and the anguished cries of dying men. It sings, too, of the sublime magnitude of the world―the fierce beauty of nature and the gods' grand schemes beyond the ken of mortals. In Wilson's hands, this thrilling, magical, and often horrifying tale now gallops at a pace befitting its legendary battle scenes, in crisp but resonant language that evokes the poem's deep pathos and reveals palpably real, even “complicated,” characters―both human and divine. The culmination of a decade of intense engagement with antiquity's most surpassingly beautiful and emotionally complex poetry, Wilson's Iliad now gives us a complete Homer for our generation.5 maps 1400 ABDUCTION OF HELEN
