The Odyssey: Sacrifice and Hospitality
from Jungian Ever After · host Raisa Cabrera and Dr. Adina Davidson
We continue our coverage of The Odyssey with a focus on proper sacrifice and hospitality rules. As we cannot read the entire epic, there's no main story reading for this episode. However, towards the very end of the episode, Raisa reads a summary of Odysseus's reunion with Penelope from Claudio Patrini's, "Odyssey: Symbols and Meaning."Reading begins | 41:19Reading ends | 43:03There are many versions of The Odyssey out there, but these are the ones that we have found most recommendedStephen Mitchell translation. (Adina's read this one)Robert Fagles translation. (Raisa listened to the audiobook version, read by Sir Ian McKellan)Emily Wilson translation. (First translation by a woman and entirely in iambic pentameter. Highly recommended by Raisa's wife, brother, and many others. Unfortunately the audiobook is exclusively on Audible)Stephen Fry retelling. (A contemporary version that adds extra context and is easy to digest. Brilliantly narrated by Stephen Fry himself. Raisa listened to this one first before moving on to Fagles and McKellan)Our intro/outro music a sample of Seikilos Epitaph with the Lyre of Apollo, by Lina Palera, under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 International License.
