A história do Ocidente tem suas raízes fincadas na jornada de um homem tentando retornar ao seu lar. Escrita por Homero no século VIII a.C., a Odisseia é a pedra angular da literatura ocidental e o alicerce de conceitos vitais para a nossa civilização. Neste vídeo, exploramos a tumultuada travessia de Odisseu (Ulisses) após o fim da Guerra de Troia, enfrentando a ira do deus Poseidon, os perigos do Ciclope Polifemo, a magia de Circe e o canto das sereias. Analisamos como a astúcia de Penélope, o amadurecimento de Telêmaco e a sabedoria estratégica de Odisseu moldaram o arquétipo do herói ocidental, onde a inteligência e a resiliência prevalecem sobre a força bruta. Descubra como essa epopeia mitológica influenciou obras ao longo dos séculos e serve como um manual atemporal sobre os desafios da existência humana.

Joe Alva, owner of Poseidon, explains what happened at the 2026 Poseidon Experience.

Greek mythology retellings keep multiplying, and nobody can quite explain why. Christopher Nolan just dropped a $250 million adaptation of The Odyssey, a poem roughly 2,700 years old, and Meaghan and Shirin wanted to figure out what keeps pulling all of us (and Hollywood) back to these stories. This one stays high-level, and neither of us was a classics major, so we'll own that upfront. We walk through what The Odyssey actually is, why Odysseus is a much grayer hero than people remember, and why feminist retellings like Madeline Miller's Circe keep landing so hard. Then we get into Nolan's stacked cast: Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Zendaya as Athena, Robert Pattinson as the suitor Antinous, and Lupita Nyong'o doing double duty as Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra. Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey (2026): The Cast, Explained • Nolan's $250 million IMAX adaptation of The Odyssey hit theaters on July 17, 2026, his first film since Oppenheimer. • Confirmed casting: Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Zendaya as Athena, Robert Pattinson as the suitor Antinous. • Lupita Nyong'o pulls double duty as Helen of Troy and her sister Clytemnestra. Charlize Theron plays Calypso (some listings say Circe, so we're flagging it).   The Odyssey, For People Who Skipped Classics • The short version: Odysseus spends ten years getting home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, mostly because he pissed off Poseidon. • Penelope holds down the kingdom and fends off suitors while raising their son, Telemachus, not knowing if her husband is alive. • Gods, monsters, a cyclops, the enchantress Circe, the sirens. Odysseus survives on cunning over brute strength, then loses his whole crew anyway.   Why Greek Mythology Retellings Keep Winning • Older texts sort people into good and bad. Modern retellings hand the mic to the ones shoved to the margins. • Feminist retellings are the clearest example, like Madeline Miller's Circe, centering a character the original treats as a footnote. • Odysseus himself was never a clean hero, and that gray area is a big reason the story keeps holding up.   Odyssey Adaptations Hiding in Plain Sight • You've seen more of them than you think: O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Cold Mountain (Charles Frazier, 1997), and [LINK: Ulysses] by James Joyce. • It reaches into sci-fi too, from 2001: A Space Odyssey to the creatures and detours borrowed by Percy Jackson (Rick Riordan).   On Our Nightstand: New Releases and ARCs • Shirin is deep in Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman, now getting a Peacock series from Seth MacFarlane (Princess Donut on screen, finally). • Meaghan is reading an ARC of The Iron Hex, the debut romantasy from Canadian author Victoria S. Walsh, out August 4, 2026.

Today, we end our 12-week study of the Odyssey with a discussion on Books 23-24 with Dr. Justin Jackson and Dr. Benedict Whalen of Hillsdale College alongside host, Dcn. Harrison Garlick.There is yelling, laughter, cursing, and general chaos--but more of Homer's truth is unearthed in the process.Check out our ONLINE LIBRARY for resources on the great books.Check out Dr. Justin Jackson's Substack working through the Bible.Check out Dr. Justin Whalen at Hillsdale College.The long-awaited homecoming unfolds with Odysseus and Penelope's emotional reunion, the famous test of the immovable olive-tree bed, and the climactic confrontation with the suitors' vengeful families. The conversation crackles with insight as the guests unpack Penelope's cunning, Odysseus' complex character, parallels to Achilles and Heracles, and the poem's meditation on fidelity, mortality, justice, and the costs of homecoming.Dr. Jackson brings contrarian fire—challenging heroic ideals, celebrating the domestic, and wrestling openly with whether Odysseus' reckoning is justice or raw revenge—while Dr. Whalen offers sharp textual observations on themes of rootedness, temptation, and the poem's unresolved tensions.Expect yelling, laughter, heartfelt disagreement, and the kind of raw intellectual energy that makes great books come alive.Whether you've followed the whole series or are just dipping in, this capstone will leave you rethinking everything you thought you knew about the Odyssey. Stick around after the discussion for a look ahead at Plato's Republic and more.

Welcome to Forgotten Odysseys, the game where surviving the Trojan War is apparently the easy part. Adam Bradford, also known as BadEye Adam, has created a MÖRK BORG-compatible Greek fantasy nightmare where the gods hate you, the sea hates you, the dice hate you, and sometimes your own party decides that prophecy is just a polite suggestion to commit murder. In this episode, the crew sets sail for home, immediately gets distracted by pork, insults a goddess, and proves that if Odysseus had access to a live Twitch chat, he probably would have died even faster. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/badeye/forgotten-odysseys Show Notes This week on the RPGBOT.Podcast, we dive into Forgotten Odysseys, the creation of Adam Bradford, also known as BadEye Adam, and currently funding on Kickstarter. Adam joins the show to talk about building a brutal, mythic Greek journey home from the Trojan War using the bones of MÖRK BORG, then Josh Simons of Broken Door Entertainment takes the helm for a live play demo that immediately proves why sailors should fear gods, storms, wild animals, and shirtless leadership. Adam walks through the inspirations behind the game, from The Odyssey and Bronze Age Greek culture to Blood of Zeus, 300, Xena, and the gloriously doomed charm of MÖRK BORG hacks. The result is a sword-and-sandals survival game where the goal is simple: get home. The problem is Eris, goddess of strife and chaos, who believes you cheated death at Troy and would very much like to correct that oversight. The episode also explores the game's seafaring tests, deadly mishaps, journey map, mythic art direction, character classes, boons, curses, legendary items, and armor system. Then the actual play begins, and the party creates Dome, Demos, and Dephobos, three heroes whose collective survival strategy includes playing "Yankee Doodle Dandy" on a lyre, hunting boars in a storm, yelling at divine fog, and ultimately fulfilling a betrayal prophecy with alarming efficiency. If you like Greek mythology, doomed sailors, lethal rules-light games, gorgeous art-heavy books, and tabletop sessions where a boar fight becomes the emotional centerpiece of the evening, this one is for you. Key Takeaways Forgotten Odysseys is Adam Bradford's mythic Greek, MÖRK BORG-compatible game about soldiers trying to survive the journey home after the Trojan War. The game is currently on Kickstarter and is published in partnership with Broken Door Entertainment. Adam wrote, illustrated, laid out, and designed the game, giving it a strong personal visual identity inspired by Greek myth, comics, public domain art, and brutal sword-and-sandals drama. The central premise is not "become a hero." It is "get home before the gods, monsters, sea, dice, or your friends kill you." Eris replaces Poseidon as the primary divine antagonist, hunting the characters because they survived when fate said they should have died. The game keeps the deadly, strange, art-heavy spirit of MÖRK BORG while adding Greek myth flavor, seafaring rules, Bronze Age gear, legendary items, boons, curses, and a journey map. Seafaring tests let everyone contribute to survival, whether they are rowing, navigating, inspiring the crew, helming the ship, or playing music to keep the oars in rhythm. Character creation leans into randomness, misery, and personality, which is how the table ends up with Dome, Demos, and Dephobos, three names that sound like they were cursed before the dice even hit the table. The live play shows off the system's fast combat, player-facing rolls, armor tiers, and high stakes, mostly through the sacred Greek tradition of nearly dying to pigs. Demos learns that boars are dangerous, Dephobos learns that prophecy is inconvenient, and Dome learns that leadership is easier when nobody questions why someone was stabbed and thrown into shallow water. The episode is a strong showcase for the game's tone: mythic, deadly, beautiful, ridiculous, and always one bad roll away from becoming a cautionary tale. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

AI portfolio construction in global equity markets (memory semiconductors, mega IPOs, and how to manage concentration risk) is the focus of this conversation with Mawer's global equity portfolio manager Paul Moroz. Drawing on Homer's Odyssey, he explains the discipline the team applies when navigating themes that are moving quickly: from trimming SK Hynix systematically as the position grew, to sizing up what a wave of large IPOs means for cost of capital, to the central trade-off between underexposure and overconcentration in the AI complex. He also puts numbers around the portfolio's AI positioning and explains how hyperscaler holdings act as a natural offset. The episode closes on humility as a process requirement, reflected in the portfolio's expansion to nearly 90 names with smaller, more incremental position sizing. Key Takeaways Memory semiconductors, including SK Hynix, illustrate the discipline required around fast-moving themes. The team has sold back nearly as much as it invested in SK Hynix while the position has grown to over 5% of the portfolio — a deliberate trimming driven by ongoing valuation modeling, not a change in the thesis. The risk is not the price-to-earnings multiple; it is the cyclicality of earnings, and the question of how long the current upcycle runs. Odysseus' response to the Sirens when he ties himself to the mast and has his crew row with beeswax in their ears is a useful analogy for process. Decisions made in advance of the moment of seduction, grounded in a systematic valuation framework, are more reliable than decisions made in the heat of a rapid move. Large IPOs entering markets signal a more capital-intensive economic period and raise real questions about where the capital comes from. Companies already in the S&P 500 benefit from a structural cost-of-capital advantage over those outside it, and the team watches for what needs to be sold as large new issuers absorb liquidity. A period of multiple compression, while uncomfortable for near-term statements, improves long-term reinvestment returns. The Scylla-versus-Charybdis choice (the monster on one side, the whirlpool on the other) maps directly onto the AI portfolio construction problem. The team's AI hardware exposure sits at approximately 22.7% of the portfolio; a 50% drawdown in that sleeve would represent roughly an 11-12% hit to the overall portfolio. An offsetting 15.5% is held in hyperscalers (Meta, Microsoft, Amazon) whose capital expenditure is the revenue of the hardware side, producing a natural hedge that brings net directional AI exposure to around 7-8%. The team's response to the Cyclops story (Odysseus boasting after his victory, which brought years of suffering from Poseidon) is portfolio humility expressed through construction. The global equity portfolio now holds just under 90 names, with positions sized smaller and traded in smaller increments to reduce the cost of being wrong and to manage in a high-volatility environment. Some holdings that look nothing like AI businesses have begun moving with AI sentiment. The team treats these correlation shifts as arbitrage opportunities: when something is priced as an AI stock but carries different underlying risk, there may be a better entry or exit available elsewhere in the complex. 0:00 - Introduction: Homer's Odyssey and the AI Trade 1:39 - The Sirens: Memory Stocks, SK Hynix, and Valuation Discipline 7:54 - Managing a Position That Has Grown Beyond Its Cost Base 10:30 - Mega IPOs, Cost of Capital, and Index Inclusion Advantage 15:49 - Scylla vs. Charybdis: Choosing Your Risk in AI 17:58 - AI Portfolio Construction: Numbers, Offsets, and Net Exposure 23:11 - Correlation Creep: When Non-AI Stocks Start Acting Like AI 24:42 - The Cyclops Story: Humility, Diversification, and Process 26:53 - Closing: Managing Money Across Generations 27:15 - Outro and Subscribe Host: Rob Campbell, CFA, Institutional Portfolio Manager Guest: Paul Moroz, CFA, Global Equity Portfolio Manager This episode is available for download anywhere you get your podcasts.

The Gore of Battle and the Sanctity of the Dead. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The Iliad features vivid and gory battle scenes that Wilson rendered by consulting with combat veterans to understand the visceral nature of death. Homeremphasizes the specific details of how each man dies, often juxtaposing the brutality of a spear through an eyeball with beautiful similes from the natural world. A major theme is the treatment of the dead; the poem views the corpse as the person, requiring those who loved the warrior to wash, wrap, and lament him. Entire books are dedicated to the struggle of reclaiming a fallen comrade's body, as desecrating a corpse is seen as the ultimate victory over an enemy. Stripping the armor from a victim serves as both an economic prize and a symbol of total dominance. While the gods like Poseidon and Hera intervene to support the Greeks, they also remain distinct from mortals by "bleeding" a substance called ichor. These divine and human elements culminate in the pivotal death of Patroclus, which shifts the direction of the entire war. 6

"Poseidon's massive trident was broken; it protruded at an obtuse angle from the rubble of the temple. Icicles hung from its three prongs that no longer avariciously pointed heavenward. Xavier shuddered and pulled the fur layers tighter around him against the cutting cold of the gale as he raised his eyes from the trident to behold the desolation of Atlantis." - The opening line of the sequel to my magnum opus work of fiction, Hourglass #2: The Trident, The Tachyon & The TemptressThis chapter teases a provocative premise: Might the individual man's mastery of his lust mirror cosmic cycles of civilizational destruction? And that premise will stalk you throughout the novel; from a VR simulation of the Atlantean empire, to courtroom drama and shocking revelations in the Swiss Alps, to the epic conclusion of the Hourglass saga aboard a luxurious zeppelin where a decadent “Eyes Wide Shut” party ascends above CERN.Order Novel [Audiobook Included]

My guest today, the actor David Reivers has had a career spanning 40 years in theatre, film, and TV.  He's best known for various TV roles in shows like Charmed, Felicity, Drake and Josh, The Disney Channel's Jump In, and recently in season one of The Pitt. Film roles include Malcolm X, After the Sunset, Circle, Poseidon, and most recently, The Accountant 2.You may have also seen David from his appearances in over 200 commercials.For the record, David played the voice of Lucky, in the movie called Lucky that I directed and co-produced. He suavely and coolly played an evil little dog that haunts the twisted mind of animation writer Millard Mudd, who was played by a favorite StoryBeat guest, and the movie's co-producer, Michael Emanuel. Without David's unique and spot-on voicing of Lucky, the movie wouldn't have turned out as amazingly well.David is the father of four children, three incredibly wonderful daughters, and stage and screen star, Corbin Bleu.

Alan Kohler has spent more than 50 years at the centre of Australian financial journalism — and few people alive have watched this country's booms, busts, and policy shifts with more clarity. In this conversation, Mark and Alan trace the arc of Australian capitalism from the Poseidon nickel boom of 1969 through to the rise of Elon Musk and the AI era. Alan draws striking parallels between the charismatic deal-makers of the 1980s — Bond, Elliott, Skase — and the story-sellers of today, and explains why irrational exuberance always takes longer to unravel than anyone expects. He also gives a frank assessment of what Australian housing policy has got wrong, why superannuation remains the country's greatest economic achievement, and what capital gains tax reform should actually look like. We speak about: • The Poseidon nickel boom and what it taught a 17-year-old copy boy about markets • Why every major financial boom has a charismatic figure selling an irresistible story • Elon Musk, SpaceX, and whether a loss-making $2 trillion company makes any sense • How Basel banking rules quietly turned Australian banks into mortgage lenders • The 1999 capital gains tax change that accidentally supercharged the housing market • Paul Keating, superannuation, and the policy Alan considers Australia's greatest achievement • Lang Hancock, iron ore, and what real Australian entrepreneurialism looks like Join my exclusive Mentored+ community: https://mentored.com.au/become-a-member/ Subscribe to the Mentored newsletter here: https://the-mentored-platform-pty-ltd.myklpages.com/l/WWJGc5 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The poems that nourish us, and the myths that nourish poems. What can a connection with a mythical figure give us, or a legendary flower? Ian McMillan is joined by Zeus, Poseidon, the Green Man, the trees of Under Milk Wood, and Wordsworth's favourite flower - courtesy of The Verb's guests - the philosopher Angie Hobbs, and poets Rishi Dastidar, Bradley Taylor, and Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch.Bradley Taylor brings Brummie legends like 'Pete the Feet' into a poem with the likes of Zeus and Icarus, in his slam-winning poem 'I don't care about the gods'. Bradley's book is called 'You Missed the Best Parts', and he writes a brand new poem during the programme.Angie Hobbs is Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy Emerita at the University of Sheffield. and her most recent book is called 'Why Plato Matters Now'. Angie shares 'a neon line', a stellar line of poetry that can help us get through uncertain times. Rishi Dastidar shares a new commission on the theme of 'how to get through' - and celebrates William Wordsworth's favourite flower, the lesser celandine. Rishi also reads from his new collection 'Cherry Blossom at Nightbreak' - and we discover the mythic name of the legendary entertainer Bruce Forsyth.Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch's new book is 'Milk Wood Memoir'. It includes a legendary tree, and family recollections of that mythic Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Samantha's poetry has been nourished by living in the Welsh fishing village of New Quay - also an influence on Dylan Thomas's play 'Under Milk Wood'

Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Niterói, near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil This episode has an FAQ about how you can get started with travel, Step 1. Then we talk about Niteroi, near Rio, Brazil. We cover my missteps, trying to get an Uber without service in Brazil. The FAQ is: How do we get started on my travels when I haven't been anywhere? Answer: The first step in your exciting travel journey is to set a goal! What inspires you to explore the world? Do you have a specific timeline in mind that gets your adventurous spirit ready to go? Is there a destination that fills your heart with the desire to go? Perhaps you're waiting for the perfect companion to join you on your travels. These are all meaningful questions that resonate deeply.   Let's get creative! Grab a piece of paper and some colorful crayons, and start drawing your travel dreams. Imagine yourself soaring high in the sky on an airplane, sailing on a beautiful boat, or riding a scenic train to a picturesque destination. Visualize the globe and focus on that one special place you want to visit — and think of the journey to get there and back home. The thrill of dreaming, planning, and contemplating all the endless possibilities is where the magic happens! Even if your travels remain a dream, the joy of imagining them is a treasure you carry with you.   I'd like to share a thought from Viktor Frankl's inspiring book, "Man's Search for Meaning." He penned his reflections during a harrowing time in his life, reminding us of the power of our memories and imagination. I encourage you to relish this time and, first, travel in your mind. Dream boldly, for it's the first step toward making those dreams real. 60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, Confidence Challenge in Niteroi    The excitement surrounding the confidence challenge in Niteroi was truly invigorating, as millions of people came together in this vibrant city. After spending three wonderful weeks in South America, I arrived in Rio with a solid use of Spanish. However, Portuguese is the primary language spoken in Brazil. Despite this, I found it exciting to communicate by mixing my English and Spanish, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well people understood me.   If you're planning a trip to a new country like Brazil or some of the others I travel to, I highly encourage you to try out the free versions of Duolingo for a week or two beforehand. It's a challenging method for learning essential phrases like "please," "thank you," and "where's the bathroom?" Plus, knowing how to count a little will surely improve your experience. Embrace the challenge and be present in every moment of your journey! If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into language skills, while moving through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with foreign language communication tips. You can find the series at the link in the description.    See Book A for addressing this concern.  Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Niteró, near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Just across the bay from the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro lies a charming suburb that I hadn't discovered before, and I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to stay there for nearly a week! I can't wait to share some of the amazing adventures I experienced during my 90-day journey around the world.   Did you know Brazil has more cows than people? It's true! With a population of 214 million, there are approximately 238 million cows, which means plenty of milk and cheese to enjoy. Niterói truly enchanted me, so here's how I got there.   I started my adventure by strolling through Rio's bustling central area, full of excitement. With my backpack in tow, I hopped on the metro to the stunning coastline. After a lovely 15-minute walk to the ferry, I enjoyed a delightful ride across the bay, surrounded by fellow commuters soaking in the scenery as the sun set. While I could have taken the bridge by bus or car, the ferry was such a refreshing way to leave the city behind and embrace the calm of Niterói. Once I arrived at the dock, I could not get wifi. I'll talk about that later in the second on my mistakes.   What an incredible adventure I had! Livia, my host, arranged for an Uber remotely, which was such a thoughtful gesture. By the time I intended to grab a ride, the sun had set, and the area near the port was buzzing with energy. I walked through a vibrant outdoor market, soaking in the lively atmosphere as I searched for a good meeting spot. I stumbled upon a taxi stand and a newspaper kiosk, where I chatted with the friendly locals about how to navigate my Uber pickup. Thanks to Livia's excellent instructions, the driver found me swiftly, and off I went!   Although the ride took us down some unpaved and bumpy roads, I was filled with excitement. When I finally arrived at Livia's home, it was dark, and I had a moment of uncertainty about whether I was in the right place. But as soon as Livia's family welcomed me with open arms, I knew I was exactly where I belonged for the next five days.   I was shown to a comfortable room with its own bathroom, and I quickly became acquainted with the family's adorable pets and loved ones. I felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and happiness. The next morning, I awoke to clear skies and breathtaking views of Rio de Janeiro right from my window. What a magnificent sight!   Let me tell you a bit more about my wonderful hosts! Livia's mom, Valeria, is a delightful person, and her dad, Julio, speaks six languages.  They even have a charming cat named Poseidon. Livia has such interesting aspirations; she's exploring international relations and climate change, studying law, and even aiming to take a UK diplomat exam—what a challenging and rewarding path.   I'm staying in a house nestled in the jungle; it's newly built and offers a stunning view of the trees and the city of Rio. It's just across the bay. My host family has a fascinating history; they lived on a ship for 8 years, which must have created unique experiences. Last night, I watched the show 'Sirens' on Netflix and found it hard to fall asleep, definitely paying for that this morning! I woke up at 7 am to the sound of the radio playing in Portuguese, so I think I'll need to practice in Duolingo again soon.   Today, Livia, her dad, and their dog, Flucky, went to the beach while I enjoyed refreshing coconut water and delicious meals. I also discovered a hidden gem surfing spot that most locals don't know about! In a moment of creativity, I created a mini garden at my hosts' home by clearing rocks and debris, planting seven lovely plants, and creating a decorative circle of white stones. I watered it both tonight and in the morning.    I had the pleasure of attending a vibrant local Forró party, full of lively music and joyful dancing, including Salsa! The delicious food, featuring corn dishes from the Northeast, was a highlight—especially the tasty Mandioca root vegetables and Uta yucca. Everyone wore plaid for this energetic dance celebration! It was a fantastic experience that we didn't want to miss.   I had a wonderful day at Itipu beach, almost completely solo.  I encountered some delightful birds and a handful of other adventurous solo travelers. The tranquility created a perfect setting for relaxation: the cool breeze and shimmering water added to the charm. After walking a mile from my Uber drop-off, I met the friendly Samara from Mato Grosso, Brazil, who works in refrigeration for chicken. While enjoying lunch and reading a business book by American business leader Jack Welch, we had an inspiring chat.  Plus, her husband, Andre, kindly shared his hotspot with me for my Uber, making my day even smoother and more enjoyable!   What an incredible experience I had with my Uber! When the car broke down, that's right. It just stopped. the driver jumped into action, showing impressive skills by getting under the vehicle to fix it right there on the roadside. It was fascinating to navigate the situation without speaking the same language, which made it even more interesting! I almost called for another ride, but my Uber app and phone were acting up. After about ten minutes of dedicated work, he successfully fixed the issue and took me to my destination. This unforgettable ride truly highlighted the resilience and resourcefulness of people. I left with a smile and a fun story to share!   I was so excited to go out to dinner at a fantastic all-you-can-eat restaurant.  The quality and service were promised to be exceptional, making it the perfect way to show my appreciation to my wonderful hosts on my last night in Niteroi. I indulged in a delicious Rodizio meat buffet, which was a real treat! The flavors there were delightfully unique compared to what I was used to back in the USA. I couldn't wait to try everything—from the intriguing Cupin meat to fresh pineapple juice with mint, crispy fried bananas, Guarana, and Farofa made from manioc. That culinary experience was truly memorable and full of surprises! Your trip to Niteroi may be different from mine, but I will never forget how I felt cared for by the Servas hosts, and it was relaxing for me for a few days.   I got the Uber to leave Niterio, sadly. Went to the ferry with driver Katia, the first woman driver I have had all month!  It drizzled on arrival in Rio again, so I was glad I had a taxi for about $5 instead of walking, and I stayed dry.   My misstep: I couldn't get an Uber because of bad settings. I did not have service on my phone.   I had an unexpected Wi-Fi adventure that turned out to be a great learning experience! When I arrived in the charming town of Niterói on a busy Friday night, I discovered my Wi-Fi had been accidentally turned off, and I hadn't even noticed. This made ordering an Uber a bit tricky, but I remembered that McDonald's offers Wi-Fi, so I decided to stop there for some help. I ordered my ride but had to dash across the street to meet the driver. Unfortunately, the heavy traffic made it challenging for him to pick me up, and he had to leave. Not to be discouraged, I walked a few more blocks in search of better reception, but that didn't pan out either. Fix your settings before you need an Uber.   Today's tip: Check your phone's settings regularly.    Here's a helpful tip: if you find yourself in a similar situation, don't forget to check your phone's settings first! I learned the importance of keeping my settings up to date to avoid hassle in the future. Use AI to help you with what to click on or off if you are confused.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick and the Dr. Gregory McBrayer discuss Books 9-10 of the Odyssey--the first half of Odysseus telling his own story and covering such famous narratives as the lotus eaters, the cyclops, and Circe. Check out our WRITTEN GUIDE to the Odyssey--great for small groups!Follow us on X, YouTube, Instagram, and more!SummaryBooks 9 and 10 of the Odyssey feature Odysseus revealing his identity to the Phaeacians and recounting his adventures after Troy. The episodes include the raid on Ismarus, the encounter with the Lotus Eaters (whom Odysseus forcibly removes to prevent them from forgetting home), the harrowing trap in Polyphemus the Cyclops's cave (where Odysseus uses the "Nobody" ruse, wine, and an olive-wood stake to blind the giant before taunting him and invoking Poseidon's curse), the visit to Aeolus (whose bag of winds is opened by the crew, blowing them off course), the cannibalistic Laestrygonians (who destroy the fleet except Odysseus's ship), and the stay with the goddess Circe (who transforms his men into pigs, but is countered by Hermes' moly herb, leading to a year of feasting and Odysseus bedding her under divine instruction before she directs him to the underworld).The hosts explore deeper philosophical and moral themes, viewing these stories as Odysseus's moral and theoretical education. They discuss xenia (guest-friendship) and its perversions, the tension between Odysseus's cunning intellect and his men's appetites or spiritedness, leadership failures, and Homer's intentional dialectic presenting human nature. Particular attention is given to Odysseus's curiosity, pride, and evolving understanding of place, home, mortality, and nature (highlighted in the moly scene as a discovery of physis). The conversation frames Circe as a structural pivot, contrasting earlier moral tales with later intellectual ones, and portrays Odysseus as a complex, self-serving yet learning figure whose narrative may blend truth and rhetoric tailored to his audience.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ascend and the Great Books07:42 Professional Updates and New Opportunities09:37 Teaching Homer: Insights and Anecdotes10:58 Homer as a Philosopher: Dialectics in the Text14:08 Odysseus: The Complicated Hero15:47 Odysseus' Journey: Learning and Growth17:54 The Role of Storytelling in the Odyssey23:05 The Importance of Place and Homecoming28:08 Odysseus and His Men: Leadership Dynamics35:47 The Lotus Eaters: Virtue and Temptation40:31 The Nature of Happiness and the Soul's Journey44:04 Odysseus and the Cyclops: A Political Critique54:20 Guest Friendship and Ethical Dilemmas01:05:01 Rhetoric and the Limits of Persuasion01:09:21 Understanding Polyphemus: The Nature of Deception01:11:20 Odysseus's Internal Monologue: The Role of Wisdom01:12:46 The Cyclops's Overconfidence: A Fatal Flaw01:13:49 The Role of Wine: A Tool for Manipulation01:14:58 Guest Friendship: A Perverse Parody01:16:36 The Blinding of Polyphemus: A Turning Point01:17:47 Community Response: The Cyclops's Isolation01:18:41 The Consequences of Pride: Odysseus Reveals His Name01:20:51 The Significance of 'Nobody': Identity and Cunning01:23:24 The Escape Plan: Cleverness in Adversity01:24:05 The Curse of Polyphemus: A Divine Retribution01:26:42 The Cycle of Violence: Guest Friendship Violated01:27:34 The Structure of the Odyssey: Peaks and Valleys01:29:09 The Role of Agency: Human Choices vs. Divine Will01:29:38 The Heartbreak of Aeolus: Trust Broken01:33:56 The Lystra-agonian Encounter: A Leadership Crisis01:36:31 Odysseus's Leadership and Responsibility01:39:50 The Enigmatic Circe: Goddess and Witch01:45:13 Odysseus's Encounter with Circe: A Test of Will01:50:59 The Nature of Eros and Odysseus's Choices01:56:56 The Philosophical Journey: Nature and Mortality02:01:51 The Path to the Underworld: Elpenor's FateKeywordsKey keywords for this episode include Odyssey Book 9, Odyssey Book 10, Odysseus Cyclops, Polyphemus, Circe Odyssey, Homer Odyssey summary, Odysseus adventures, Lotus Eaters, Aeolus bag of winds, Laestrygonians, Odysseus and Circe, Nobody Odysseus, Xenia guest friendship, Homer philosophy, Odysseus leadership, Odysseus moral education, Summary of Odyssey Books 9 and 10, Odysseus vs Polyphemus, Circe turns men into pigs, Philosophical themes in The Odyssey, Homer Odyssey Cyclops episode, Odysseus journey home, Guest friendship in The Odyssey, Ascend Great Books Podcast, Harrison Garlick Odyssey, and Gregory McBrayer Homer.

Hej Somna. Hej ska du ha, välkommen till en timma av mig. Jag är lugn för första gången idag. Hela dagen har gått i ett slags puls-flow, och när jag kom hem pep och tjöt det i hela kroppen. Dels för att jag har tinnitus. Varför stod jag så nära högtalaren på den där konserten i Göteborg 1997? Jag blir lite irriterad på mig själv, lite så som Odysseus måste ha känt sig.Det är svårt att inte tänka på Odysseus när man tänker på berättelser och sagor. När jag gick scenskolan sa någon att sagor är hälsosamt, att de hjälper oss bygga ställningar på insidan där vi kan fästa våra liv som annars är så tumultartade och fragmentariska. Och Odysséen är ju något man kan kalla en riktig hjältesaga.En grotta, en cyklop, stormar, en förargad Poseidon, lejon, en besättning som blir förtrollad till grisar, sju år hos en nymf, ett sund med två faror, en resa till dödsriket och flera andra motgångar. Tjugo år för någonting som skulle ha tagit några veckor. Man skulle kunna säga att hela Odysséen handlar om ett gäng karlar som åker över Medelhavet och försöker undvika att bli uppätna på det ena eller andra sättet.Följ med så får du höra historien om Odysseus och hans äventyr.

Work is full of communication. Slack messages. Zoom calls. Meetings stacked on meetings. But many teams still struggle to do the one thing that matters most: connect in ways that build trust, insight, and better thinking together. It's like we're starving at a buffet.rnrnAnn Kowal Smith, founder and CEO of Reflection Point, will argue that a successful future (at work and beyond) depends not only on new technology, but on enduring human capacities: listening, empathy, curiosity, challenging assumptions, and disagreeing respectfully. Reflection Point helps organizations develop these five skills through shared discussions about literature, using stories as a practical tool for culture building and stronger collaboration.rnrnJoining Ann is Randell McShepard, Vice President of Public Affairs and Chief Talent Officer at RPM, who will discuss why his company sees these critical capacities as essential to leadership, culture, and performance.rnrnJoin us at the City Club for a unique forum featuring a live Reflection Point demonstration using a provocative short story. Together, the conversation will show how stories can help teams think more deeply, relate more honestly, and work better together.

Haltet die Nasenklammern bereit. Schnallt die Sauerstoffflaschen an. Wir tauchen ein ins nächste Abenteuer (und jetzt ist auch Schluss mit Schwimm-Sprüchen - versprochen). Es geht ums Überleben: Flugzeugabsturz, Gangster und Wildnis. Und noch viel gefährlicher: deftige Käseplatten und scharfer Tabasco. Für Justus, Peter und Bob geht es von Wien nach Zürich, und zwischendrin gibt es noch einen ausführlichen Überlebenskampf in den Schweizer Alpen. Klingt wie ein ganz normaler Flug mit der Lufthansa. Ist jedoch der Start der besten Geschichte von Brigitte Johanna Henkel-Waidhofer – da legen sich Froschmann Fröhlich und Schnorchel-Schwind fest. Bei der Hörspiel-Besprechung zu „Die drei ??? und der Schatz im Bergsee“ wird es dieses Mal multilingual. Mit Bündnerdeutsch, Polnisch und Mafiarussisch. Dazu gibt es eine sehr gute und spannende Musikbegleitung von der Band „Wind“. Nein, liebe ESC-Junkies, die haben nichts mit „Sonne-ins-Herz-lassen“ und so zu tun. Alle Fortbewegungs-Fetischisten kommen bei dieser Folge voll auf ihre Kosten. Denn mit am Start sind ein Flugzeug und ein Hubschrauber. Am Ende taucht im Bergsee sogar Timmy auf. Ach nee. Das ist ein U-Boot. Der Wal strandet jedoch mit Sicherheit wieder irgendwo anders. Poseidon sei ihm gnädig … Warum ist für diese Folge ein Chemie-Schulbuch sehr wichtig?

Guest Speakers: Brendon Deere, Tim Costley MP, SQN LDR Craig Clark, FLT LT Stu Glendinning, Roger Dalziell, and SQN LDR Michael Williams Host: Dave Homewood Recorded: ‎28th of February 2026 Released: 9th of May 2026 Duration: 3 hours 14 minutes 55 seconds In this bumper-sized 350th episode in the Wings Over New Zealand Show podcast series, we hear the various presentations given at the Biggin Hill Hangar WONZ Forum Meet at RNZAF Base Ohakea. We were very fortunate to be hosted by Brendon Deere, who is a great supporter of Wings Over New Zealand. In order we hear from: Tim Costley MP – Tim is a former RNZAF pilot, and he talks about his experiences in the Royal New Zealand Air Force, particularly flying the Bell Iroquois but also in other types. He served operationally on several occasions. And he talks a little about his current position as a Member of Parliament for Otaki in the National-led coalition government. Tim Costley (Dave Homewood photo) Squadron Leader Craig Clark – Craig is the Officer Commanding No. 42 Squadron RNZAF, based at Ohakea, which operates Beechcraft King Air 350s in two roles, two C-12K examples as transports which can carry up to nine passengers , known as Slicks, and two MC-12K used for Air Warfare training and sensor suite training. In this fascinating talk Craig explains how the squadron has been evolving with its previous role of multi-engine training having been phased out, and interestingly the MC-12Ks are being used for actual front line operational missions more and more now, at home and overseas in the Pacific. He also talks about the future of the squadron, and his personal hopes that it will soon be expanded and larger aircraft platforms will be brought into the squadron’s capabilities. Above: SQN LDR Craig Clark (Dave Homewood photo)Below: Various photos of the MC-12K King Airs, including the Fiji deployment. (All NZDF) No.42 SQN’s new Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft takes it’s first flight at RNZAF Base Ohakea, 14/05/18. Flight Lieutenant Stu Glendinning – Stu is a pilot and a QFI on No. 5 Squadron RNZAF, also based at Ohakea, flying the new Boeing P-8 Poseidon. He talks about his RNZAF career, including flying training with the RAAF on NZAI CT/4B Airtrainers and Pilatus PC9s, in a rare case where RNZAF pilots joined an RAAF aircrew course. He talks about his progression to No. 42 Squadron and then No. 5 Squadron, and flying the Lockheed P-3K2 Orions. He then transitioned onto the new Boeing P-8A Poseidon fleet and he shares insights into this amazing aircraft. He also tells the very emotive story of his experience as the Search and Rescue Captain on a P-8A when he was scrambled following the sinking of HMNZS Manawanui.

Brendon Deere – Our host for the event at the Biggin Hill Historic Aircraft Centre, Brendon spoke about his Biggin Hill Trust collection of warbirds that are based at Ohakea. They include his Supermarine Spitfire IX PV270, North American P-51D Mustang NZ2423, Grumman TBM Avenger “Plonky”, and North American Harvard IIa NZ1037. Brendon Deere Roger Dalziel and Mike Williams – In a very rare opportunity, the audience were able to hear from two Grumman Avenger pilots, Roger Dalziell who flew the Avengers in the RNZAF from Ohakea in the early 1950s; and Squadron Leader Mike Williams who is a current instructor pilot based at Ohakea, and is the current pilot of Plonky, the Biggin Hill Avenger, with the Air Force Heritage Flight. He explains the work of the Heritage Flight, which Mike himself was behind the creation of. Roger is the last known pilot who flew original RNZAF Avengers still living today. Mike had just arrived back at Ohakea following flying a display at New Plymouth in the Avenger, and the two pilots compared notes on flying Avengers 75 years ago and now. Roger Dalziell, left, and Mike Williams, right. Above and below: Mike arriving back at Biggin Hill Hangar from his display at New Plymouth, just before speaking alongside Roger.

Key Members: The chain is anchored by the large elliptical galaxies M84 and M86. Other notable members include NGC 4477, NGC 4473, NGC 4461, NGC 4458, and NGC 4438. Observation: The brightest members are visible in small telescopes, but it is a popular target for astrophotography in the spring, often requiring a wide field of view to capture the entire string. Interaction: While some galaxies are randomly aligned, at least seven members share a common physical motion. The pair NGC 4438 and NGC 4435, known as "The Eyes," are actively interacting and distorting one another.

Hello Divas! Today we're back to unpack the myth, the legend and the facts about the Lost City of Atlantis! According to the Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was said to have been blessed by Poseidon, god of the sea, becoming home to his demi god offspring, who turned the 'fertile plain' into the greatest civilisation that ever lived. With expertise in metallurgy, craftsmanship, commerce, agriculture and maritime trade, at a time where the rest of the world lived in small nomadic communities, the story of Atlantis has been met with great scepticism. BUT what if Plato was talking about another island entirely? A real place where the history, archeology and geology all line up - Bronze Age Crete. I can't wait to unpack this one with you all! If you'd like to read the Timaeus and Critias yourself, then the translations I used are linked.If you also want more Hot History you can follow along on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and of course, right here!Til next week, Ainslie x

Sound Bites"Greg told me I looked good today.""To lose a decade, that's crazy.""That's the worst place to poop."

Joe Alva, the founder of Poseidon Industries, explains how the company got started and grew.

In an Instagram Reel, John Selig described this image — Mount Etna as a cosmological diagram: Typhon pinned underneath, his rage powering the volcano; Hephaestus at the forge above, that same rage transmuted into craft; Prometheus chained on the side, the fire bringer who suffered for giving us what the gods had kept for themselves; and Zeus at the crown, not a creator of fire but the one who directs it.It set my imagination ablaze!John's handle is @stolenfires_. That name tells you everything about his approach: myth is Promethean fire, meaning held by the gods and waiting to be taken — not as belief, not as doctrine, but as a lens you can actually use. What he wants is for you to leave the conversation with something in your hands.We spent this episode inside Greek myth as a living, working system. We examined the Theogony as three successive orders of creation — and why Zeus's is the first one generative enough to let everything be born, even the monsters. We read the Odyssey as the story of a man who cannot go home yet because his unconscious won't let him — the sailors as impulses that thwart the ego until it's ready. We talked about what happens to a culture that runs entirely on Athena consciousness while Poseidon goes ignored. And we talked about creativity, perfectionism, and what myth can do for people who are stuck.What We CoverWe use Prometheus — the fire-bringer who stole meaning from the gods and handed it to ordinary people — as the lens for this conversation. Along the way we explore:Stolen Fires and What the Name Actually Means. The name is two things at once: a cosmological statement about myth as Promethean fire, and — as someone pointed out to John recently — an accidental description of a mythology hot-take platform. He didn't plan that second meaning. The Trickster did. The core idea: myth holds meaning the way the gods held fire. John's work is the theft.Myth Doesn't Require You to Believe Anything. Myth and history are not the same category. Mythologizing history breaks it. Historicizing mythology breaks it too. One lives in the world of the imaginal; the other is the world of record. You can work with myth — let it illuminate your life, your psyche, your moment — without making a single metaphysical commitment.Typhon, Hephaestus, and the Shape of Shadow Work. Zeus didn't destroy Typhon. He pinned him under Mount Etna, where his rage powers the volcano — and Hephaestus's forge sits at the top, transmuting that same rage into craft. Integration instead of obliteration. The energy doesn't disappear. It gets redirected. That's the shape of shadow work, and it's also the shape of the creative process.Satan and the Cultural Shadow. Monotheism needed a bucket for everything that didn't make the approved list, and Satan is what it built. A lot of what ended up in there isn't all that bad — it's just human. The qualities most associated with the mythic Satan map cleanly onto basic features of human nature, and the Greco-Roman roots of the image run deeper than most people realize.Three Orders of Creation. The Theogony gives us three successive cosmological regimes, each more generative than the last. Uranus won't let anything be born. Kronos swallows his children rather than risk displacement. Zeus frees everyone and starts an order in which everything gets to exist — including the monsters. The Greek pantheon is so crowded because Zeus's order requires it to be.The Sailors as Unconscious Impulses. The sailors in the Odyssey aren't named or characterized because they're not really separate people — they're the unconscious impulses that keep thwarting what the ego says it wants. Odysseus doesn't reach Ithaca until they're all dead. The friction isn't always the enemy. The sailors may be telling him something he isn't ready to hear yet.Athena Consciousness, Poseidon Consciousness, and What We've Left Out. Ian McGilchrist's hemisphere theory maps onto the Greek gods: Athena as the rational, ordering, left-brain mode; Poseidon as the holistic, oceanic, right-brain mode. We've built a civilization that runs almost entirely on Athena consciousness while Poseidon goes unaddressed — and John thinks the epidemic of depression among his generation follows directly from that.Spirituality and the Brain. The part of the brain that activates depression is the same part that activates spirituality. When the spiritual mode is engaged, it becomes physiologically impossible to be depressed. This isn't a spiritual claim. It's neuroscience. And you don't have to believe in anything to get there.The Tyranny of Heaven. Uranus and Gaia: heaven and earth, the ideal and the actual. Heaven wants the thing to be perfect. Earth wants the thing to exist. Any version of something is necessarily not every version of something — which is obvious, and is still the exact mistake most creatives make constantly, holding the work hostage to what it could be until it never becomes what it is.Chapters00:00 Welcome00:03:49 The Name Stolen Fires00:04:56 Myth Without Belief00:05:42 Typhon, Prometheus, and the Volcano00:06:53 Satan and the Cultural Shadow00:08:30 How the Volcano Became a Map00:10:17 Zeus as Air, Not Fire00:11:30 Three Orders of Creation00:18:29 Into the Odyssey00:19:31 The Sailors as Unconscious Impulses00:21:57 Odysseus Isn't Ready for Ithaca00:26:42 Myth Is Fractal00:34:20 The Modern Mind and Its Limits00:35:10 Meaning, Depression, and the Missing Lens00:41:45 Spirituality and the Brain00:48:05 The Myth and Creativity Course00:49:05 The Tyranny of Heaven00:50:10 Where to Find JohnMemorable Quotes“The trick with myths is to not take them literally and to turn them into lenses that you can then look at your own life through.” — John Selig“Typhon is put underneath Mount Etna, and his fiery rage powers that volcano and then Hephaestus's forge is at the top, turning that rage, alchemizing it into something beautiful.” — John Selig“That's how it feels to do shadow work, to channel your grief into something creative, to face a part of you that you don't wanna face. All of those things are in that image and it's cosmic and natural and personal all at the same time.” — John Selig“Myth doesn't require you to believe anything. These stories didn't happen.

We rejoin our rewatch mini-series already in progress with our 18th Deja Brew episode. Whilst jumping back into old nu-Who series 4, we start off with ‘Voyage Of The Damned' where the Doctor goes on an adventure of Poseidon proportions after meeting Astrid, a woman he just can't get outta his head. Next up is ‘Partners In Crime' where the Doctor and Donna Noble reunite to mate... erm... be mates! After said friend-zoning intentionally occurs, Rose shows up yet again to friend-block the new duo. Seriously Rose, let the man move on with his lives!

In episode four of our Greek Pantheon series, we explore the gods of nature, the wild, and the cycles of life: Artemis, Demeter, and Poseidon. We dive into Artemis as the fierce protector of autonomy and boundaries, Demeter as the embodiment of grief, abundance, and seasonal cycles, and Poseidon as the ruler of emotional depth and the unseen forces beneath the surface.This conversation goes beyond mythology, unpacking how these deities reflect real human experiences, independence, loss, love, and emotional intensity. We also explore how to work with their energies in modern spiritual practice, from reconnecting with nature to honoring personal cycles and navigating deep emotional waves.If you've ever felt called to the wild, the seasons, or the ocean's depth, this one will resonate with you deeply.Order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DoneJoin our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagic

This is the final boarding call! The SITC submarine is departing port for one more journey 20,000 leagues under the sea. This time, the tentacular, mighty Poseidon of masculinity, King Triton, wields his whale dick, effectively blasting us with oozing gallons of salty sea.  Creator of the Hyperreal Film Journal and critic, Ziah Grace, joins Torie below deck to dissect Robert Eggers's ferociously homoerotic, abrasively bleak masterpiece of cinematography, THE LIGHTHOUSE (2019).  Starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattisson as one of the greatest “odd couples” to ever grace 35 mm, this claustrophobic meditation on Sartre's existential idiom “hell is other people,” is packed with alpha/beta power dynamics, a yonic/phallic(!!) lighthouse, perverted seagulls, and enough masturbation to generate a Sperm Whale's worth of ejaculate. These gents have No Exit, and, for one hour and 50 minutes, neither do you.  Get ready for an onslaught of girthy tentacles, depressing orgasms, alcoholism, gaslighting galore, and man-on-mermaid action (alongside a very large, anatomically explicit mergina). Other highlights include Torie's Willem DaFetish and an inevitable discussion of the most fiercely gatekept piece of male anatomy ever to circulate the Hollywood rumor mill. 

Thebes (led by Pelopidas and Epaminondas) and Sparta (led by Agesilaus) head inexorably towards a massive showdown… a bloody contest that remains legendary to this day - a historical treasure trove and an amazing story all in one. Not to be outdone, Poseidon takes center stage - giving us a likely candidate for Atlantis. Meanwhile ancient Great King Artaxerxes of Persia refuses to die or give up on taking back Egypt, and the powers north of Greece grow ever stronger.Shirts -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠historyofwesteros.threadless.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HoW Audience Survey - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bit.ly/howsurvey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bonus Eps & More -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ patreon.com/historyofwesteros⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.historyofwesteros.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intro/Maps - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠klaradox.de⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Group -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bit.ly/howfb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ bit.ly/howdiscord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nina - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

7. Cline addresses the vulnerability of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations, which served as models for "what not to do" during a crisis. Despite their outward appearance of strength, these societies were fragile systems that collapsed completely after the 12th century BC. Their writing system, Linear B, was limited to accounting, leaving no literary records of their downfall. The transition to the Iron Age saw the disappearance of their specific social structures, though names of gods like Zeus and Poseidon endured. This period illustrates how societies can appear vibrant while being internally decayed, leading to a total replacement of their political identities. (7)

Greek Gods | Paranormal Podcast In this Greek gods episode timed with the Winter Olympics, we explore the fascinating world of Greek mythology starting with the origin story of the three most powerful gods—Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades—who were born to the Titan Cronus and his wife Rhea during the Golden Age, though Cronus attempted to eat all his children after a prophecy warned he'd be overthrown by his sons, leading Zeus to eventually free his brothers and defeat their father. We discuss the 12 great Olympians including Zeus (the serial cheater who ruled the sky), Hera (his perpetually angry sister-wife and goddess of marriage), Athena (the brilliant goddess of wisdom who burst fully formed from Zeus's head), Dionysus (the fun-loving god of wine and theater who was gestated in Zeus's thigh after his mother exploded), and several compelling minor gods like Hecate (goddess of magic and crossroads) and Pan (the half-goat satyr god of wilderness). We share captivating myths including Hades kidnapping Persephone with pomegranate seeds that created the seasons, Prometheus stealing fire for humanity and suffering eternal punishment, and the tragic tale of Arachne, who challenged Athena to a weaving contest with devastating consequences.
