She is the author of many books, including - Ancient Greek Divination, Restless Dead: Encounters between the Living and the Dead in Ancient Greece, Hekate Soteira: A Study of Hekate's Roles in the Chaldean Oracles and Related Literature, and her newest book - Gods and Mortals: Ancient Greek Myths for Modern Readers.I invited Dr. Johnston on the podcast to discuss an article she wrote called Whose Gods are These? A Classicist Looks at Neopaganism. This article helped me better understand Paganism in America. It also inspired me to examine Pagan authors for how they ‘poach' from scholarship in order to construct their religions. We also discussed her newest book Gods and Mortals: Ancient Greek Myths for Modern Readers which is now available for purchase here https://a.co/d/fCGqsAXLink to article herehttps://www.academia.edu/3667375/Whose_Gods_are_These_A_Classicist_Looks_at_Neopaganism Get full access to Hearth of Hellenism at angelonasios.substack.com/subscribe

Peter D Mcdonald, Professor of English and Related Literature, University of Oxford gives a talk for the workshop, What is a Decolonial Curriculum? Held at TORCH on 28th November 2018. Decolonising the curriculum must mean more than simply including diverse texts. As Dalia Gebrial, one of the editors of the new book, Decolonising the University (Pluto Press, 2018) has written, any student and academic-led decolonisation movement must not only 'rigorously understand and define its terms, but locate the university as just one node in a network of spaces where this kind of struggle must be engaged with. To do this...is to enter the university space as a transformative force

Jambeaux, everyone!!! Welcome to another episode of the Magic Our Way podcast. It is time for a fresh, uplifting show!!! And, the topic we have chosen to accomplish this is ROMANCE!!! Let’s go!!! This week, we once again address several topics which peaked our interest for discussion while waiting in the Queue. In this case, we enrich our literary minds by discussing books that are in the works such as a comic book, a graphic novel, and Marty Sklar’s new book, Dream It! Do it!: My Half-Century Creating Disney’s Magic Kingdoms, which is coming out on August 13, 2013.  In the Hub, we talk about how to have a romantic time in Walt Disney World. Yes, you read that correctly! Couples can have a romantic time in Disney World....should one have thorough planning of said experience. We gladly share some of our tips of things to do and not to do when planning a romantic romp through the parks. Itineraries...YES, we came up with our own versions of a one day romantic experience at Disney World. Danny will take the “blue sky” approach and Kevin will take a rather less expensive approach to romancing your significant other in the World. Listen and see what they have to say.

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss Thomas Malory's "Le Morte Darthur", the epic tale of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. Sir Thomas Malory was a knight from Warwickshire, a respectable country gentleman and MP in the 1440s who later turned to a life of crime and spent various spells in prison. It was during Malory's final incarceration that he wrote "Le Morte Darthur", an epic work which was based primarily on French, but also some English, sources. Malory died shortly after his release in 1470 and it was to be another fifteen years before "Le Morte Darthur" was published by William Caxton, to immediate popular acclaim. Although the book fell from favour in the seventeenth century, it was revived again in Victorian times and became an inspiration for the Pre-Raphaelite movement who were entranced by the chivalric and romantic world that Malory portrayed. The Arthurian legend is one of the most enduring and popular in western literature and its characters - Sir Lancelot, Guinevere, Merlin and King Arthur himself, are as well-known today as they were then; and the book's themes - chivalry, betrayal, love and honour - remain as compelling. With: Helen Cooper Professor of Medieval and Renaissance English at the University of Cambridge Helen Fulton Professor of Medieval Literature and Head of Department of English and Related Literature at the University of York Laura Ashe CUF Lecturer and Tutorial Fellow at Worcester College at the University of Oxford Producer: Natalia Fernandez.
