The Power of Myth IV: Sacrifice and Bliss, or Don’t “Should” Yourself

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inBackground

This episode holds up better than the last one. It still is very much of its time, and it is still two white men telling the stories gleaned from people of color, but it is not as cringeworthy in its analysis of the world as the last episode.

This is a longish video, but I couldn’t find very good photos from Ignatius’s rooms to share.

Discussion Prompts

  1. The episode opens with a reading of the famous speech attributed to Chief Seattle. Discuss.
  2. What is your favorite sacred space? Why?
  3. Have you read Sir Gawain and the Green Knight before? If so, what are your thoughts?
  4. Where do you find your bliss? Or are you still looking for it?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
