Welcome back to Let's Dig Deeper!

Today is the final episode of season 1 of the podcast - we're wrapping up with the 10th episode of the podcast, which also happens to be the final of the Athens episodes.

Today we're talking with philologist Rasmus Sevelsted about Plato! More specifically, his views on art and culture. How did the forms play a role in his worldview? What responsibility does art and artists have in society? What ideals should we teach our children?

These are some of the questions we're gonna answer in this episode.

On a more personal note, I'm so happy that so many of you have tuned in for episodes of Let's Dig Deeper in the past year. Following today's episode, I'll be taking a hiatus to start production on season 2 of the podcast. There is already a lot of exciting stuff in the pipeline, and I look forward to making it as great as possible for you guys - so stay tuned! We'll dig deeper together soon x

Welcome back to Let's Dig Deeper!

On this special episode from the Athens recordings, I'm talking with philologist Tue Søvsø about some of the most famous Roman poets - Catullus, Vergil and Ovid. We're gonna talk about:

⭐ Why Ovid was exiled by the emperor Augustus

⭐ How Vergils Aeneid became Romes national epic

⭐ Whether Catullus ever really showed himself in his poems - or if it was just a persona

And more! So make sure you tune in to the full episode, and remember to rate/review the podcast 5 stars (and if you REALLY like it - share the episode with a friend! :-) )

This is the 9th episode out of 10 for this very first season of Let's Dig Deeper - stay tuned for the next episode, which will be all about Plato

If you're further interested in todays topic, Tue recommends this book: R. O. A. M Lyne, Further voices in Virgils Aeneid

This time on Let's Dig Deeper I'm talking with prof. Georgios Vavouranakis from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. The topic of today is the ancient Minoan civilisation on Crete - maybe you've heard of King Minos, Theseus and the Minotaur or maybe even the palace of Knossos. Well today, we're talking about all that and more!

Back in September I had a short stipend at the Danish Institute in Athens, where I recorded a series of podcast episodes with some of the coolest scholars in the city.

This episode is the third in a series of five, that will complete season 1 of Let's Dig Deeper and bring us up to 10 episodes total!

So tune in! It's gonna be great
