parthenon

Ah Ancient Athens, the crown jewel of Greece. A beacon of philosophical enlightenment, birthplace of Democracy, and ass kicking factory of the ancient Persian Empire. The modern world owes more than a few thanks to the city named after the Goddess of War and Wisdom. BUT the road was always paved in gold, Greece was in an almost constant state of war between its Grecian neighbors vying for power, it was conquer or be conquer, so you might be wondering, in all this chaos, how did Athens find the time to revolutionize the world. Tune in and find out. 

On this day in 432 BC, the newly-completed Parthenon was dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena.

Welcome to our 200th episode! This feels like a very weird time to celebrate, especially when the rescue teams in Turkey and Syria are making superhuman efforts. Do donate if you can whether it's goods or money and, I hope you enjoy today's word. Σείω (seio) in both ancient and modern Greek means 'I shake', 'I move'. Keep that, you'll need it.  There are many variations of how the leader of the giants, Ενγκέλαδος (Engelados), in the war against the Olympian Gods, was defeated. The most popular one is depicted in ancient jars and one particular moment , on a Parthenon metope. The moment when Athena threw her four-horse carriage on him.  After that, the myth says, she buried him alive under the mount Aetna in Italy were when he tosses and turns angrily, he causes a ΣΕΙΣΜΟ/ SEISMIC

They asked for permission. Permission was denied... but they did it anyway. That’s the predicament that Founder and Executive Director of the Institute for Digital Archaeology, Roger Michel, and Director of Technology, Alexy Karenowska found themselves in during 2022. Believing strongly that the British Museum didn’t have the right to deny their request to scan the Parthenon Marbles, both Roger and Alexy hatched a plan to scan the Marbles anyway, using only smartphones and iPads, and in full view of Museum staff. Not only did they manage to do it, the resulting copy of the Selene Horse in Pentelic Marble is an incredible example of what can be done by digital archaeologists, and the challenges it poses to traditional museums, committed to maintaining their collections. Roger and Alexy join Tom and Nick to re-tell the story, and discuss the 200+ year dispute between the UK and Greece, including the loud calls for the restitution of the Marbles to Athens.

Pericles brought Athens to its peak, but ended his own life in a plague at the beginning of a long war with Sparta. 

Nate and Giuls talk about the difference between the Parthenon and the Pantheon.  Really, though.  What is the difference?  If you know, let us know.
 
Also, a dog goes on an itty-bitty adventure at a local bar.  Why does he end up in jail for life?

Also, if you have a life-size cardboard cutout of a celebrity, you’re a weirdo.  Come on.

ALISON’S 10K DAY - PARTHENON, ARKANSAS: (25:30) Alison picked this location solely based on the place she found on Airbnb. She uses Turo, which is like Airbnb but for vehicles. Breakfast at Neighbors Mill. On to Fayetteville for a pre-season football game in $4,000 club seats. Go, Razorbacks! Lunch at the Low Gap Cafe. Next Alison stops at Herbhome Farm for some herbs, veggies, and goat milk soaps. Back at the cave, she calls a cook dinner at the cave, using her herbs and veggies from earlier.

She heads out on this Mendenhall Glacier Trek. Then for a luxury whale watching tour. You have to listen to know why she has three Quarter Pounders, one each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
