Season 1 will see us tell the story of Odysseus, the legendary figure himself. As for our choice in title? "Polytropos" can be translated for "many wandering", "many faces", or "many turning" - which might be an apt description for any of us. It was the first word used by Homer to describe Odysseus in "The Odyssey". Different translators translate it differently, but ...

This collection of video animations and audio discussions examines how the heroes of Greek mythology have been represented in popular culture, from ancient times to the modern day.

Aeneas really, really does not want to be in this poem. As in, he would rather be dead. That's how the Aeneid starts out: when we're introduced to our hero he's a very unwilling participant in a grand plan for world history, and he doesn't feel remotely up to the task. Virgil might have felt the same way, crushed under the political and artistic pr…

My friend LL and I discuss taste in language. We start off with the question of why it’s hard to even discuss this, possibly because of the weight of the belief that taste is subjective.

We read from Hamilton’s Mythology. Many of this “afflicted” God’s followers did not drink and did believe in the afterlife. Their worship was done in the theater and Greek poets’ greatest works were written for him; they were his servants. They and the spectators were engaged in an act of worship of this tragic, sacrificed, and resurrected god. Ple…

From Edith Hamilton’s Mythology we relate Dionysus’s half-human, half-god “biography,” including the spread of his religion and the practices of his sometimes frenzied followers. Zeus particularly loved the wine god’s mother, who died to see him in his full form; Dionysus’ gestation finished in Zeus’s body. Dionysus represents the beauty and frenzy…

My friend LL and I read from the chapter on Dionysus in Mythology by Edith Hamilton and discuss the god of wine, life, and death. Dionysus is quite feminine – followed by women and opposed by law-giving and -enforcing kings – and teaches liberation and compassion. From these we draw some comparisons with Buddha and Jesus. Dionysus also is a nearly-…

A case against positivity – in continuing the discussion about LL’s fear of losing her family and the idea of impermanence in life, we move on to ways to come to terms with this fact.
