Podcasts about trachis

This week the guys begin their look at Sophocles' "Women of Trachis", the one play among the surviving Sophoclean tragedies that scholars have scratched their heads over. The general feeling is that it's underdeveloped, lacking central themes, and  just a mish-mash of other traditions. But is this true? Dave and Jeff explore the play's Herculean mythic background, and some Sophoclean tweaks to see if there might just be some hidden gems here. Note the empathy and heartache of Deianira, balanced by the coldness and suspicion of Heracles. Could it be that the academics were wrong about this one? Shocking, we know.

Ralston College Humanities MA   Dr Paul Epstein is a distinguished classicist and Professor Emeritus of Classics at Oklahoma State University, renowned for his extensive knowledge of Greek and Latin literature.  In this lecture and discussion—delivered in Savannah during the x term of the inaugural year of Ralston College's MA in the Humanities program—classicist Dr Paul Epstein considers how Sophocles's tragedy Women of Trachis and Aristophanes's comedy Frogs arise from—and reflect upon—the polis-centered polytheism of ancient Greece as it appeared during the Athenian flourishing of the fifth century BC. Professor Epstein explores how these Greek dramas articulate the relationship between human beings, the gods, and the community. Tragedy, in Professor Epstein's account, is about the overall structure of the community, while comedy starts with the individual's exploration of that community. Yet both forms ultimately reveal an understanding of the individual that is inseparable from the polis in which he or she lives. Professor Epstein argues that our contemporary notion of the self as an entity fundamentally separate from context would be entirely alien to the ancient Greeks. Grasping this ancient understanding of the individual is vitally necessary if we are to correctly interpret the literary and philosophical texts of Hellenic antiquity. *In this lecture and discussion, classicist Dr. Paul Epstein considers how Sophocles's tragedy Women of Trachis and Aristophanes's comedy Frogs arise from—and reflect upon—the polis-centered polytheism of ancient Greece during the Athenian flourishing of the fifth century BC.

Es ist soweit, die (vorerst) letzte Folge zu Herakles ist da! In dieser Episode geht es um die Frauen in Herakles' Leben. Nach dem tragischen Ende seiner Ehe mit Megara sucht Herakles eine neue Gattin. Er gewinnt zwar im Bogenschießwettbewerb die Hand von Iole, doch ihr Vater, König Eurytos, verweigert ihm den Preis. Herakles schwört Rache und tötet Ioles Bruder Iphitos, was ihn erneut ins Unglück stürzt. Als Sklave von Königin Omphale gekauft, erlebt Herakles skurrile Abenteuer und wird schließlich ihr Ehemann. Doch es zieht ihn weiter, bis er auf Deianeira trifft, die ein verhängnisvolles Geschenk des sterbenden Kentauren Nessos bekommt - eine vermeintliche Liebestinktur, die zu Herakles' Verhängnis wird… Zum Happy Potter Podcast und unserer gemeinsamen Folge kommt ihr hier -> MYTHOLOGIE IN HARRY POTTER Mit: Herakles, Kalydon, Perseus, Zeus, Alkmene, Amphytrion, Iphikles, Hera, Eurystheus, Olymp, Minyer, Theben, Megara, Nemäischer Löwe, Hydra, Kerinytische Hirschkuh, Erymantischer Eber, Augias, Stymphalische Vögel, Kretischer Stier, Diomedes, Amazonenkönigin Hippolyte, Geryon, Hesperiden, Kerberos, Oichalia, Eurytos, Iole, Iphitos, Apollon, Delphi, Pythia, Omphale, Lydien, Kerkopen, Ephesos, Syleus, Xenodoke, Troja, Laomedon, Hesione, Giganten, Deianeira, Acheloos, Aetolien, Oineus, Metamorphosen, Ovid, Nessos, Trachis, Lichas, Hydra, Bakchylides, Athene.

Pontius Pilate may have been the one who condemned Jesus of Nazareth to death, but the name reviled most today is “Judas.” And that's because treacherous backstabbers—men like Ephialtes of Trachis and Benedict Arnold—who betray friends, lovers, or countrymen for personal gain are so shameful we put them on display forever, a collective reminder of who NOT to be. Dark history nerds will especially love this month's special guest judge: “History on Fire” host & historian Daniele Bolelli, dragged into the lair for our monthly battle of wits and storytelling. Team Kimberly digs up the truth on disgraced Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu, one half of a jaw-dropping political breakup. Team Edward resurrects The Coward Robert Ford, whose choices were so cringy he went viral a century before social media existed. The scalding-hot historic tea is ready to be served.  Link to Daniele's Show: http://historyonfirepodcast.com/Link to Daniele's Web Site: http://www.danielebolelli.com/Link to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/humanfuckeryLink to our IG: https://www.instagram.com/humanfuckerypodcast/Support the show

“With one day's reading, a man may have the key in his hands.” Aldus Ezra Pound, de Amerikaanse dichter, criticus, vertaler en uitgever die in aflevering 21 centraal staat. Hoogleraar moderne Engelse literatuur Peter Liebregts vertelt ons over het veelbewogen leven van de man die ook wel de vroedvrouw van het Modernisme genoemd wordt. Zo hielp hij schrijvers als Hilda Doolittle, Amy Lowell, T.S. Eliot, James Joyce en Ernest Hemingway bijvoorbeeld bij het redigeren en publiceren van hun werk. We bespreken onder andere Pounds jeugd en dichterlijke aspiraties, zijn voornemen om grip te krijgen op het beste van de Europese en Aziatische literatuur, en de totstandkoming van zijn magnum opus, de Cantos. Ook staan we stil bij een donkerdere kant van Pound: zijn bewondering voor Mussolini en zijn fascistische en antisemitische radiovoordrachten. In de tweede helft van het gesprek geeft professor Liebregts een inkijk in zijn onderzoek voor zijn tweede boek over Pound, het in 2019 verschenen Translations of Greek Tragedy in the Work of Ezra Pound. Pounds kennis van het Oudgrieks en Pounds vertalingen van zowel Sophocles' Elektra als Vrouwen van Trachis blijken veel gedegener dan voorheen gedacht werd, en Peter is daar met hulp van een bijzondere Pound-kenner achter gekomen… Veel luisterplezier! Timestamps: 00:00 - 02:33 Inleiding 02:33 - 10:57 Pounds jeugd en roerige studententijd: voorbestemd om dichter te worden 10:57 - 17:22 Pound als Amerikaanse landverrader: zijn fascistische en economisch-antisemitische ideeën 17:22 - 20:25 Pounds karakter en psychische gesteldheid 20:25 - 24:18 Pound als vroedvrouw van het modernisme, als dichter, redacteur en genereuze vriend 24:18 - 29:44 Imagisme, Vorticisme, en proza in de poëzie 29:44 - 38:00 The Cantos, Pounds meesterwerk: zowel een vernieuwing als een anthologie van eerdere poëzie 38:00 - 41:40 Pound als vernieuwende vertaler 41:40 - 48:04 Pounds kennis van het Oudgrieks: Peters onderzoek voor zijn boek Translations of Greek Tragedy in the Work of Ezra Pound 48:04 - 58:43 Waarom vertaalde Pound nu juist Elektra en Vrouwen van Trachis? 58:43 - 1:05:41 Pounds nalatenschap: open discussies en Brabantse achterkleinkinderen

Gast: Vladimir Stissi, hoogleraar Klassieke archeologie & kunstgeschiedenis der Oudheid, Universiteit van Amsterdam. In deze aflevering staat niet een kunstwerk centraal maar een plek. Robert van Altena spreekt met Vladimir Stissi over de archeologische opgraving bij Magoula Plataniotiki, in Thessalië, Griekenland. Deze opgraving is een samenwerking van de Universiteit van Amsterdam, de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen en de Universiteit van Thessalië, Griekenland. Het is de veronderstelde lokatie van het klassieke Halos, dat vermeld wordt door zowel Herodotus als Homerus. In de Ilias betreft het een vermelding in wat de scheepscatalogus wordt genoemd: de opsomming van de schepen die de verschillende volken bemannen voor de oorlog met Troje. “Dan alle mannen die het Pelasgische Argos bevolkten, en die woonden in steden als Alos, Alope, Trachis, en in Fthia, en Hellas met zijn beeldschone vrouwen, mannen die Myrmidonen heetten, Hellenen, Achaiërs. Van hun vijftig schepen was Achilleus de leider.” ( Boek 2, vers 681-685, Ilias (Van Oorschot, 2015) vert. Imme Dros ).

In episode 8 of Sacred & Profane Love, Jennifer Frey speaks with Dhananjay Jagannathan about Greek tragedy and the fragility of human loves and happiness, with a special focus on Sophocles’ play, The Women of Trachis.

La taciturna e bellissima Iole, prigioniera di guerra di Eracle, entra a Trachis insieme alle altre schiave.La principessa schiava è, pare, destinata a diventare la concubina di Eracle, e Deianira, la legittima consorte dell’eroe, trema al solo pensiero di perdere l’amore del marito.Ella è solamente preoccupata di questo: ha sempre saputo che Eracle attira belle giovani ed è da queste a sua volta attratto. Non teme Iole né la disprezza per la sua entrata in scena: Deianira teme che Iole o una successiva nuova fiamma possano farle perdere per sempre l’amore del marito...Per riconquistare e tenere per sempre legato a lei Eracle, Deianira decide di trattare con quello che lei crede essere il filtro d’amore del centauro, una tunica per sacrifici che Eracle, nei riti che sia compiendo fuori città, sicuramente vorrà indossare.Piena di speranza, unge lei stessa la tunica e con attenzione ricopre ogni singola piega col mortale veleno...

Hercules is as terrible as he is awesome. There are sea monsters, centaurs, people being thrown off of things, Hydra poison, and Hercules making ridiculous choices. Basically, it's everything you could want from a Hercules episode. Oh, and he dies, because apparently he can do that. The creature this time is the Mamagwasewug, and he just wants to borrow a smoke off you...or he'll burn your house down.   Batman picture: https://www.instagram.com/p/BHD5g9OjfXq/?taken-by=mythpodcast Our sponsor this week: www.lootcrate.com/legends (code: LEGENDS).  Support the show?
