Nice show. Well researched. But you should consider that the Poets of Old were giving life lessons, so you should have interpreted it as a story about you, personally, and your own struggles in life. I know you were following a book, just saying. Do yourself a favour and take your favourite Greek myth. Wiktionary has the most fantastic ancient Greek dictionary because many etymologies from modern languages are based on it. Did you know that a Greek audience hearing the work Kerberos could also hear the words "Death Pain" or "Heart Burden"? That certainly changes the meaning of Hercules being forced to conquer it without the use of mortal weapons (through effort and Will, he carries the heart burden out of Hell). Did you know Lerna means "Spring", and so the Lernian Hydra can also be the hydra of the Spring (of thoughts)? The Birds of the White Wall [of Mist] also takes on a new meaning if you are familiar with meditation and the manner that images form in the mind as if condensing from clouds (for lack of a physical equivalent to compare it to).

The renunciation of sexual urges is usually a very sacred commitment. If your mind were not polluted by politics you could see the beautiful symbolism in the renunciation that you so politically call misogynistic. You probably missed entirely that Hercules is a story that glorifies and worships Hera (who provides the Struggles that forges Great Men). It is the renunciation of Ishtar that causes Gilgamesh's Animal half (Enkidu) to die off. This is part of the instructions. Like all mythology, it serves as instructions to follow. Seeing Gilgamesh and Enkidu as two separate characters is like failing to notice that both of them are you, and their journey is your Soul's Journey (just like each and every other myth)
@mathiaswarnes6350Ай бұрын
It looks like you come to this channel to throw your weight around a little insultingly. Of course I can see that reading of Tablet VI, but I wanted to explore Ishtar’s side here. I really wouldn’t mind if you stopped commenting on my channel. I talk about the twin or double aspect Gilgamesh/Enkidu a fair bit and the Jung/Freud correspondence on it.
@Larzsolice9 күн бұрын
@@mathiaswarnes6350 Perhaps, but wokeness in general is the greatest blasphemy I have seen and the misery it brings is proof. You are not dealing with dead stories here, the fundamental nature of these stories is religious. What kind of religion treats its sacred myths as entertainment in the modern world, so why apply that lens to the ancient world. Once the entertainment factor is taken out, the myths become instructions. You will be blind to those instructions if you think concepts like modern feminism or modern political identity constructions have anything to add. They don't.

Good question
@mathiaswarnes6350Ай бұрын
I’m not a historian so wouldn’t know, but there seems to be a lot on this from a simple google search, including DNA based hypotheses that the Sumerians arrived from India, and more substantive evidence of early trade routes. The Sumerian language being an isolate probably complicates the picture. But it’s not a subject I’ve read anything about.

At 10:00 you make a mistake by calling the King of Palenque, who's name is K'inch Hanaab Pakal, by the fake name Pakal Votan. That name was used by Jose Arguelles to promote his fake Mayan calendar, the "Dreamspell." The Maya never used the name "Votan", that was a Catholic intrusion in the mid-1800s.

Per the role of women under late Brehon law, one of my anscestors, Grainnie O'Malley was one of several attested Irish Pirate Queens... she maintained her rule by both force and cunning that would befit any of the heroes of ancient times. But specifically her story appears to show a recluctance on the part of the late Brehons to honor her marriage contracts and return her dowry, and in a bit of crafty allegiance swapping, has Queen Elizabeth I herself intercede in this matter.

It strikes me that the Orphic conception of Pan seems to be setup as a kind of counterpoint to Orpheus himself through his relationship to Apollo. Pan is one of the figures who seems most changed in the Orphic hymns from the way Ovid characterizes him. It is also interesting that Mania defeats Orpheus in the myths. Are we meant to draw a relationship between Pan and Mania?
