Beauty Herself Greets Odysseus (Clip)

Odysseus, when he sees nubile and beautiful Nausicaa when he washes up on shore at the beginning of Book 6, does not try to capture her in any way.  This in a time with raiding parties and the famous r*pes of ancient myths.   Ian links this true appreciation of her beauty to what he needs to go on on his journey.   (From a discussion on Odysseus, Nausicaa, & Beauty’s Education)   Thank you for watching!  Please see below for the full conversation:   The full video episode: https://youtu.be/WsujhE2muTQ   Audio episode: https://benomtad.podbean.com/e/odysseus-nausicaa-beauty-s-education/?token=9ad8205849556b9910a95e0b5885fc5a   The Podcast Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMIlJwXEK2vqfEOVgfclRgZNXO4boyP3T   The Episode Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMIszqVpagDQ   The Odyssey’s translations we used: https://a.co/d/04Ud8j0d https://a.co/d/0dd7Svhh   For more in this podcast, please go to: Podbean: https://benomtad.podbean.com Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-benomtad/id1748320863 YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/@scissorsandpaper/videos Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4kJPGlaJjGVyLa9AKhci6t?si=8XXrX9FUT3CU71reCfA5kQ X: https://x.com/Benomtad Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/benomtad   About our guest: Ian Reclusado offers guidance services for those interested in facing and befriending their inner monsters:  https://thekindknife.substack.com/p/guidance-services   I plan to conduct more interviews with various guests, so please check back later for those.   Sea Short Photo by Henrique Hanemann on Unsplash Photo of Nausicaa by Leighton (1878), courtesy of picryl
