Griechische Mythologie - Das Chaos und seine Kinder Sophia Fabian Viele kennen die großen Epen Homers – Ilias und Odyssee – vielleicht noch eine Oper oder ein Theaterstück. Doch hinter diesen Klassikern verbirgt sich eine unendliche Fülle von Sagen und Mythen, die sich verweben, widersprechen und ergänzen.In diesem Podcast erzähle ich, Sophia Fabian, Schauspielerin und Sprecherin, diese Geschichten neu. Ich will euch mitnehmen in eine Welt voller Intrigen, Liebesgeschichten, Gewalt, Verwandlungen und göttlicher Willkür. Aus dem ursprünglichen Chaos, das für die alten Griechen der Anfang von allem war, entsteht Folge für Folge ein wachsender Stammbaum – ein (vielleicht komplett naiver und wahnsinniger) Versuch, Ordnung ins mythische Wirrwarr zu bringen. Die Reihenfolge der Episoden soll die Mythen so chronologisch wie möglich erzählen - was mir mal mehr, mal weniger gelingt. Aber hört selbst!Der Podcast bietet:- Mythen, Sagen und Legenden aus der griechischen Antike- Spannende Figuren wie Herakles, Medea, Persephone, Zeus, Hera, Athene oder Poseid Medea by Euripides (484 BCE - 406 BCE) LibriVox Euripides' tragedy focuses on the disintegration of the relationship between Jason, the hero who captured the Golden Fleece, and Medea, the sorceress who returned with him to Corinth and had two sons with him.

C.) es una obra escrita en dialecto jonio que tiene como objetivo narrar los enfrentamientos que tuvieron lugar entre griegos y bárbaros (asiáticos, especialmente persas) y, en concreto, las Guerras Médicas. También contiene una descripción de la historia y costumbres del Antiguo Egipto. Se trata de la primera obra historiográfica griega que nos ha llegado íntegra y está dividida en nueve libros, cada uno de ellos dedicado a una musa. En el proemio Heródoto expone su intención: evitar que las hazañas de las generaciones que lo precedieron sean relegadas al olvido (I 1), explicando las causas de sus enfrentamientos. Para exponer las causas del conflicto (las Guerras Médicas), Heródoto pasa a abordar las primeras diferencias y enfrentamientos que se produjeron entre griegos y bárbaros en época mítica (secuestros de Europa, Medea y Helena, Guerra de Tro
