This is an excerpt from a new film entitled "In Search of the Earth-Mother of Anatolia" - In this scene I visit the ruins of the holy Lycian site of Letoon where the goddess Leto was worshipped in ancient times. I read a story from Ovid about how Leto came to Lycia and had a run in with the local peasants when they wouldn't let her drink from a pond.

A complete Latin recording of the first book of Ovid's Metamorphoses.

We're looking at Chapter Fourteen, Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback, and the story of how Cadmus founded the city of Thebes from Ovid's "Metamorphoses". Paul considers the old saying "fail to prepare, prepare to fail" and we talk about how themes of preparation, responsibility and carelessness are at play here. We also theorise over character motivations: why does Hagrid take such a huge risk with Norbert? And what motivates Malfoy in this chapter?

We're examining Chapter Twelve, The Mirror of Erised, in parallel with the story of Narcissus as told in Ovid's Metamorphoses. We discuss Harry's welcome into the Weasley family at Christmas, and the gift of the Invisibility Cloak with the message "use it well". We also consider the dangers of desire and obsession when it comes to the Mirror of Erised. We look at Harry and Ron's distinct desires reflected back at them, and muse over Dumbledore's words that "it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live"...

In this lecture, we consider (a) the contrasting examples of Charity and Envy in Dante's "Purgatorio" Cantos 13-15; (b) we then consider the description of envy in Ovid's "Metamorphoses," and (c) define what the essence of envy is and why it is a problem/poison which keeps one from one's goals (dreams). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support

On today's show we examine the Six of Pentacles and Hospitality through Xenia. The Six of Pentacles reminds us to be generous with our time and money, but not so much that people become dependent on you or you would lose your wealth. Xenia is a guest/host relationship and we look at two stories that exemplify this: Baucis and Philemon from Ovid's Metamorphoses, as well as Diomedes and Glaucus' encounter in Book 6 of Homer's Iliad.

The 1967 animated Disney film "The Jungle Book" — inspired by Rudyard Kipling's book of the same name — springs to life in a new musical that had its world premiere at the Goodman Theater in Chicago. Written and directed by Mary Zimmerman, best known for her stage play based on Ovid's "Metamorphoses," the new show features all the songs from the movie, including the hit tune "The Bare Necessities."  The musical stars Akash Chopra as Mowgli and veteran performer Andre de Shields as King Louie. New York Times theater critic Charles Isherwood tells us about its subtle staging, how it ranks among Disney musicals and where it's headed next.
