Pornography participates in beauty, but also is consumptive, and especially, unappreciative. This is contrasted to Odysseus' paise of Nausicaa in his speech to her, without the ritual supplication at her knees. Perhaps i
Odysseus, when he sees nubile and beautiful Nausicaa when he washes up on shore at the beginning of Book 6, does not try to capture her in any way. This in a time with raiding parties and the famous r*pes of ancient myth
Man is he who suffers, and Odysseus is the man “of twists and turns,” the builder and destroyer, the journeyer trying to reach his beloved homeland. Here Ian and I discuss what draws this man forward at his nadir in Book
A dying queen demands that her husband remarry only someone as beautiful as she. After the mourning period, his advisors scramble around to find a new monarch, but the king’s eye alights on his very own daughter. She dem
Why do we like folktales and myths? I think one reason is that they help us learn to pay attention to instinct. It’s not that I don’t think rationality is important–it is a key to a wise life. But following John Vervaeke
The Virtue of Beauty, the Beauty of Virtue: A king is cursed to live as an old man with his servant– now animal attendants–until they are saved by one with kindness for all life. A poor woodcutter goes hungry while his t
In “Fight Club,” the protagonist tries to find meaning in life through filling his life with purchases. But that doesn’t give him fullness–he feels dead. So he goes to cancer support groups, and then group violence in fi
Zombies are everywhere in our culture, in movies and shows, and even in real life, on zombie walks. They’ve gone from being an object of horror to one of fascination, one that seems to reflect something back to us. In “Z
At the beginning of the story, the man has had his 13th child, and in a panic he runs out into the street looking for a godfather, and God shows up. He turns him down, pontificating to the Almighty, and showing the creat
A man works very hard but there is no one left to ask to be the godfather as his 13th child is on the way. He rushes out into the street and is approached by three prospects. The first is God, whom he rejects because of
The queen bathes in the stream in the garden with her angelic babe, a scene of pure life and innocence. Into this scene slinks the power-hungry cook, who manipulates the scene to look like that of a beastly killing, lead
A queen was without child, and an angel came to her and told her she would have a child who would have the power of wishing. After she had the child, the cook, who knew of the son’s ability, staged the son’s death and bl
When the false bride finally arrives, the true bride again almost dies. Ian sees this as a kind of initiation, a test to see if he will finally know who she is and remember his promise--and who he really is. (From a disc
Death of the King A Prince, betrothed to his Beloved, is called away, for his father the King is dying. He gives his ring to his love and says he will marry her when he is king. The Promise At his father’s deathbed, bere
I summarize John Vervaeke (& Allan Bloom) on problems of religion in modernism. They often focus on identity, dogma, or stand for nothing. People don't go to it because it does not speak to them. So why are people turnin
Is there a religious revival in America? We used data from Pew to answer this question, and we talk about cultural malaise and how religion falls on deaf ears, and how it may speak to us again. Chapters: 00:00 Introducti
The Carnation is the Prince: The carnation the heroine burns at the beginning of the story IS the prince at the end. He requires her to speak, but she freezes up, so he has to go into a stone... So she has to go through
The Echo of Orpheus: Narcissus' repulse of Echo reminds me of another vain god, Orpheus, master of music. Both end up being served by poetic justice. We see perfectionism in this, and in the refusal to join in, to dance
We read and discuss the Spanish Folktale “The Carnation Youth,” F. Scott Fitzgerald’s tragedy both in life and in “The Great Gatsby,” and Ian’s struggles with the creative writing process. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00
This pool is a metaphor for the mind. But there is a "healthy narcissism" that is developmentally-appropriate. (A Clip from the Episode “The Myth of Narcissus: Seeing Only Oneself”) Thank you for watching! Please check o
