Norse America: The Story of a Founding Myth, with Gordon Campbell

In our interview with Gordon Campbell, we chat all about his new book Norse America: The Story of a Founding Myth. The book tells two stories. One story is that of the Norse proceeding in the 10th and 11th century from mainland Scandinavia to the Faroes and Iceland and Greenland, and from Greenland they sail, hunting in many cases to what is now the Eastern Arctic in Canada. And they famously, as we have known since the 1060s, had a sort of camp in Northern Newfoundland at a site called L'Anse aux Meadows. The other story is the appropriation of the first story by Canadians and Americans who want to have been discovered by people with white North European origins rather than by Columbus, who was Italian, sailed for Spain, and did all kinds of other suspicious things. So, there is a racial narrative, which is potentially pernicious in the huge attraction of having the Norse discover America. I became interested in the attraction as much as I did in the actual voyages themselves. — BUY NORSE AMERICA: THE STORY OF A FOUNDING MYTH — https://www.worldhistory.org/books/B08YZ5M8YY/ — GORDON'S WEBSITE — https://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/english/people/gordoncampbell — SUPPORT US VIA OUR PATREON — https://www.patreon.com/join/whencyclopedia — BUY OUR MERCH — https://www.worldhistory.store/ — WANT TO KNOW MORE? — The Norse in America: Fact and Fiction https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1880/the-norse-in-america-fact-and-fiction/ Leif Erikson https://www.worldhistory.org/Leif_Erikson/ Vinland https://www.worldhistory.org/Vinland/ — ATTRIBUTIONS — The music used in this recording is the intellectual copyright of Michael Levy, a prolific composer for the recreated lyres of antiquity, and used with the creator's permission.

Egyptian Mythology: A Travelers Guide From Aswan to Alexandria, with Garry Shaw

Join World History Encyclopedia as we talk to Garry Shaw, an Egyptologist and author of a brand new book Egyptian Mythology: A Travelers Guide From Aswan to Alexandria. Garry's book on Egyptian mythology starts with a journey beginning in the south of Egypt, which is the traditional border in the region of Aswan, and then you travel northward to the Mediterranean Sea, stopping at various locations along the way, which have religious importance or a lot of mythology behind them. It's a fun, different approach to Egyptian mythology than what you normally find in other Egyptian mythology books. Looking at the book as a whole, and also deep-diving into the sites of Saqqara, Pi-Ramesses and Tell-el-Amarna, just us as we take a journey down the Nile river with Garry Shaw! — BUY THE BOOK — https://www.worldhistory.org/books/0500252289/ Egyptian Mythology: A Traveler's Guide from Aswan to Alexandria Book Review https://www.worldhistory.org/review/255/egyptian-mythology-a-travelers-guide-from-aswan-to/ — GARRY'S LINKS — Website https://garryshawegypt.blogspot.com/p/books.html Twitter https://twitter.com/GarryShawEgypt Instagram https://www.instagram.com/garryjshaw/ — SUPPORT US VIA OUR PATREON — https://www.patreon.com/join/whencyclopedia — BUY OUR MERCH — https://www.worldhistory.store/ — WANT TO KNOW MORE? — Ancient Egyptian Mythology https://www.worldhistory.org/Egyptian_Mythology/ Ancient Egyptian Religion https://www.worldhistory.org/Egyptian_Religion/ Egyptian Gods - The Complete List https://www.worldhistory.org/article/885/egyptian-gods---the-complete-list/ — ATTRIBUTIONS — The music used in this recording is the intellectual copyright of Michael Levy, a prolific composer for the recreated lyres of antiquity, and used with the creator's permission.

Viking Warrior Women: Fact or Fiction, with Nancy Marie Brown

Nancy Marie Brown, author of The Real Valkyrie: The Hidden History of Viking Warrior Women joins us to talk all about female Vikings, warrior women and women in the Viking Age. Nancy uses two very different kinds of sources in The Real Valkyrie: medieval texts and modern archaeology. The Real Valkyrie is a book that attempts to recreate the life and times of one warrior in the Viking Age, and that warrior just happens to be a woman. The question that Nancy answers in The Real Valkyrie is; what does the Viking world look like if we abandon these concepts of men's work versus women's work, and we just look at what would it be like if roles were assigned based on different qualities, like ambition, ability, family ties and wealth? Combining the archaeological evidence of Burial Bj581 and other strong females from Viking history including Queen Gunnhild, Mother of Kings, the Red Girl and Queen Åsa of Vestfold, Nancy takes you on a journey through what the life of the woman (named Hervor) may have looked like. — PURCHASE THE BOOK — https://www.worldhistory.org/books/1250200849/ — FIND NANCY ONLINE — Website https://www.nasw.org/users/nmb/ Blog https://nancymariebrown.blogspot.com/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/nancy.marie.brown — SUPPORT US VIA OUR PATREON— https://www.patreon.com/join/whencyclopedia — BUY OUR MERCH — https://www.worldhistory.store/ — WANT TO KNOW MORE? — The Real Valkyrie Book Review https://www.worldhistory.org/review/251/the-real-valkyrie-the-hidden-history-of-viking-war/ Reduced Interview Transcription https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1829/interview-the-real-valkyrie-the-hidden-history-of/

Ariadne: Ancient Greek Myth, with Jennifer Saint

In this episode we interview author Jennifer Saint about her book Ariadne and the myth behind it. As Princesses of Crete and daughters of the fearsome King Minos, Ariadne and her sister Phaedra grow up hearing the hoofbeats and bellows of the Minotaur echo from the Labyrinth beneath the palace. The Minotaur - Minos's greatest shame and Ariadne's brother - demands blood every year. When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives in Crete as a sacrifice to the beast, Ariadne falls in love with him. But helping Theseus kill the monster means betraying her family and country, and Ariadne knows only too well that in a world ruled by mercurial gods - drawing their attention can cost you everything. In a world where women are nothing more than the pawns of powerful men, will Ariadne's decision to betray Crete for Theseus ensure her happy ending? Or will she find herself sacrificed for her lover's ambition? The book Ariadne gives a voice to the forgotten women of one of the most famous Greek myths, and speaks to their strength in the face of angry, petulant Gods. Beautifully written and completely immersive, this is an exceptional debut novel. — BUY ARIADNE BY JENNIFER SAINT — https://www.worldhistory.org/books/125077358X/ — FIND JENNIFER ON SOCIAL MEDIA — Website - https://www.jennifersaint.com/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/jennysaint Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jennifer.saint.author/ — BUY OUR MERCH — https://www.worldhistory.store/ — SUPPORT US VIA OUR PATREON— https://www.worldhistory.org/patreon/

This interview with our CEO Jan van der Crabben and author Wendy Orr discusses Wendy's fascination with the Minoans, Akrotiri and the Bronze Age Aegean, and how her visit to Santorini and Crete influenced her writing.
