Show Notes
Today I sit down with Gregory Nagy, renowned philologist and classicist. to talk about art and the relationship between man and art, especially with the advent of AI-generated images. Among the subjects we go over:
- What is philology?
- The reader's relationship with myth and epic
- Comparative linguistics and etymology
- Solar mythology and spirituality
- And much more
Greg Nagy's writings can be found at the Center for Hellenic Studies, as well as at Classical Continuum. Of particular note is Nagy's "Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours," which can be read online for free, or found on Amazon.
Mentioned are my essays on "The Spiritual Origins of Science" and "The Cattle of the Sun."
And in the spirit of Greg Nagy's openness, I have published "The Hero and the Man" in full for free on the blog so that everybody can access the work.
