GREYHOUND - Official Trailer (HD) | Apple TV+

Great show about U-boat hunting in the Atlantic during WW2. The film is based on the 1955 novel The Good Shepherd by C. S. Forester. I've read at least a couple of his books, one was The Gun.

The Iliad and The Odyssey

Shawn Eni gives us a summary of the women in The Iliad and The Odyssey:

  • Helen's beauty sparks a war.
  • Athena is a strategic goddess guiding Odysseus.
  • Penelope embodies clever loyalty.
  • Circe turns men into pigs, which frankly is still the most realistic female character arc in literature.
  • Calypso traps the hero on an island for seven years.
  • Cassandra can literally see the future but nobody listens, making her the first woman in recorded history to experience a meeting.
  • The Sirens weaponize music.
  • Nausicaa saves Odysseus when he washes up naked and useless.
  • Andromache gives one of the most devastating anti-war speeches in the Iliad.
  • Hecuba is basically the emotional wreckage of empire in human form.
  • Aphrodite starts half the problems in Western civilization by being hot and petty.
  • Hera is running divine opposition research.
  • Thetis gets Zeus involved because Achilles is having a workplace dispute.

The Decemberists


When The War Came
TheDecemberists

A Decembrist refers to one of the liberal Russian noblemen and military officers who led an unsuccessful uprising against Emperor Nicholas I in December 1825. Inspired by Enlightenment ideals and Western European reforms, these revolutionaries sought to abolish serfdom and establish a constitutional government in Russia.

The term has expanded over time into a metaphor for someone willing to sacrifice personal comfort, privilege, or status for a greater political or social cause.

The 1825 Uprising
Following the sudden death of Tsar Alexander I, there was a confusing succession crisis. Taking advantage of the chaos, a group of about 3,000 officers and soldiers gathered in Senate Square in St. Petersburg on December 26, 1825. They refused to swear allegiance to the new Tsar, Nicholas I, and instead called for the accession of his brother Constantine and the creation of a constitution.The rebellion was quickly suppressed by forces loyal to the Tsar. In the aftermath, the leaders were executed and hundreds of other conspirators were imprisoned or exiled to the harsh climates of Siberia.

Historical Impact
Despite its failure, the revolt became a foundational myth in Russian history. The martyred Decembrists became a powerful source of inspiration for succeeding generations of Russian dissidents and revolutionaries throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Cultural References
The name has since been adopted by modern entities, most notably the indie folk band The Decemberists. Frontman Colin Meloy chose the name to draw on both the historical drama of the 1825 uprising and the general melancholy associated with the month of December.

Did The Decemberists sing any songs about Russia? Yes, they did:

Yes, The Decemberists sing the song "When the War Came" (from their 2006 album The Crane Wife), which is explicitly set in Russia. The song tells the true story of the agricultural scientists and botanists at the Vavilov Institute in Leningrad during World War II. To protect a massive, priceless seed bank from being eaten by the starving, besieged population, the scientists made a pact to guard the seeds and tragically starved to death in the process.

 The Decemberists are famous (in my mind) for The Mariner's Revenge Song.
