34 Circe Salon -- Make Matriarchy Great Again -- Disrupting History - A podcast by 34 Circe Salon, 34 Circe Media, Sean Marlon Newcombe, Dawn "Sam" Alden

Categories:

We present an encore presentation of John Colarusso's discussion of the the fabulous Nart Sagas.  As our following has grown, we'd like to acquaint our new listeners with some of the foundational topics of this podcast.  The Nart Sagas touch upon many of the foundational concepts explored in this podcast.  These sagas are a collection of heroic tales from the Black Sea Region and the Caucasus which are notable for their stories of warrior women and mystical matriarchs.  In the Classical World, Caucasia was known as the land of the fearsome female fighters whose name would pass into history as "Amazons."   Join us as we talk with John Colarusso, renown linguistic professor and the translator of these fabulous tales, as he introduces us to the history of these people, to their languages and to their stories. The tales of these powerful women will amaze. Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.
