@7pm - GONE GREEK

Willow Moonfire presents selections from the recent adaptive views of Greek Myths, Legends, and Heroes by writer, actor, and raconteur, Stephen Fry.

"Rediscover the thrills, grandeur, and unabashed fun of the Greek myths. Whether recounting a tender love affair or a heroic triumph, Fry deftly finds resonance with our own modern minds and hearts.

"Fry draws out the humor and pathos in both tender love affairs and heroic battles, and reveals each myth's relevance for our own time."

Both sessions today will be live on stream.

WEDNESDAY, August 15th at 7PM: Final Selections from MYTHOS

THIS WEEK: Angry Goddesses ... Oohhhhh, this is never a good idea. Yet Greek mythology is filled with tales of mortals who, either ignored the danger out of hubris, or became so enchanted that they threw caution to the wind. Such tales will be shared tonight, plus that of a certain legendary rock roller, and his seemingly unending task.

The final session of selections from Stephen Fry's MYTHOS, tonight. There is so much more tot his delightful tome than we have shared in the past weeks. If you want to experience more of Mr. Fry's re-telling of classical Greek myths, click on the link in the previous sentence.

WEDNESDAY, August 8th at 7PM: More from Stephen Fry's MYTHOS

THIS WEEK: Mortals - the "Toys of Zeus" ... what a mess is made when the Gods meddle in the lives of their creations, and what aspects of the world are explained by these colorful encounters.  Adventures await, tonight.

Phaeton and the Charriot of the Sun, Cadmus and Harmonia, and more!

WEDNESDAY, August 1st at 7PM: More from MYTHOS

THIS WEEK:  The creation of the seasons as the God of the Underworld takes a Wife. Persephone, Hades, Demeter, and Zeus ... some how Zeus is always in there, isn't he?  You'd think he was the King of the Gods, or something!  Oh, wait . . . yeah, right.

The Greek myths are the greatest stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. In Stephen Fry’s hands the stories of the titans and gods become a brilliantly entertaining account of ribaldry and revelry, warfare and worship, debauchery, love affairs and life lessons, slayings and suicides, triumphs and tragedies.

WEDNESDAY, July 25th at 7pm: MYTHOS Continues

The Greek myths are the greatest stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. In Stephen Fry’s hands the stories of the titans and gods become a brilliantly entertaining account of ribaldry and revelry, warfare and worship, debauchery, love affairs and life lessons, slayings and suicides, triumphs and tragedies.

“It is probably best for us not to concentrate in too literal a fashion on the temporal structure of myth.”

“For the world seems never to offer anything worthwhile without also providing a dreadful opposite.”

WEDNESDAY, July 18th at 7pm: MYTHOS Begins!

The Greek myths are the greatest stories ever told, passed down through millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney.

They are embedded deeply in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. In Stephen Fry’s hands the stories of the titans and gods become a brilliantly entertaining account of ribaldry and revelry, warfare and worship, debauchery, love affairs and life lessons, slayings and suicides, triumphs and tragedies.

Through them, you’ll once again fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus and Gaia’s revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the beautiful and ferocious Artemis.
