The Story are an English psychedelic folk duo comprising former Forest member Martin Welham and his son Tom Welham. The pair write and record melodic songs that range from psychedelic pop to stream-of-consciousness folk and play an array of predominantly acoustic instruments as a backdrop to their blend of vocal harmonies.
Biography
Martin Welham was part of the influential 1960's acid folk trio Forest. In the early 2000s, thirty years after Forest disbanded, he formed Somerset based band The Story with his son Tom and returned to recording music. The duo's sound has echoes of Martin's earlier work with authentic psychedelic songwriting at its core.
The band's first release was a 2005 vinyl split album, The Dawn Is Crowned, with Californian freak folk band Whysp on Good Village Records. The Story's side features five broadly acoustic tracks that blend esoteric, dark imagery with powerful vocal harmonies resulting in an un-attributable psychedelic air.
In 2006 the band released their first full-length album Tale Spin on Sunbeam Records - the first contemporary artists released by the label. This psychedelic folk pop album features acoustic guitars, keyboards and light percussion combined with airy harmony vocals and wistful melodies.
About four years later, a version of the song has been recorded by Grey's Anatomy actress Sara Ramirez and was first presented in the 2011 episode "Song Beneath the Song".
Composition and recording
"The Story" was written by Phil Hanseroth, who also plays bass in Carlile's band. It has a 16-bar melody. It was recorded in Vancouver, Canada and produced by T-Bone Burnett.
Along with other songs by Carlile, "The Story" received exposure to a wider audience by being played on the soundtrack to medical drama series Grey's Anatomy. The song, and parts of the video, appeared in 2007 in a special recap episode titled "Every Moment Counts". The song was also used in a General Motors commercial that aired during television coverage of the 2008 Summer Olympics. "The Story" has become the most popular song from Carlile's album.

Episode 169: Gods and Heroes of Ancient Greece — APOLLO AND CYRENE
Welcome to Gods and Heroes of Ancient Greece, where MyLinda Butterworth of Totally Stories interprets the written word for your listening pleasure. Today we tell the story of 'Apollo and Cyrene.'
Cyrene was the oldest daughter of King Hypseus, son of the river god Peneus. She was the king's favorite daughter, but Cyrene wanted to be a warrior like her father and detested embroidery and fancy banquets, and would rather be shooting arrows or fighting with a sword. Eventually, King Hypseus assigned Cyrene to be the protectress of his herds and flocks, a job she took seriously. She loved being out in the wilds where she could hunt and kill dangerous monsters for it was far more satisfying than court life. Her extraordinary hunting skills caught the eye of not only Artemis but Apollo who fell ...

The Mares Of Diomedes - Greek Mythology #shorts #mythology #mythical #greekmythology #history
The Mares Of Diomedes - Greek Mythology:
Four horses from Greek mythology known as the Mares of Diomedes were said to eat people. They belonged to Diomedes, a giant who ruled Thrace and was the son of Ares and Cyrene. Podargos (swift), Lampon (shining), Xanthos (yellow), and Deinos were the names of the mares (terrible).
One of the tasks King Eurystheus assigned to the mythical hero Heracles during the Labors of Heracles was to steal the Mares of Diomedes. Heracles was unaware that the horses' diet of human flesh had made them ferocious and insane. According to certain versions of the narrative, they all had a harness that was attached to a bronze manger, and they all breathed fire.
One story has Heracles fighting Diomedes and leaving his companion Abderus in charge of the horses. Heracl...

Hegesias of Cyrene - Ancient Greece's Advocate of Suicide (300 B.C.E.)
Hegesias of Cyrene, or as no-one calls him - Eugene of Libya, was an ancient Greek philosopher from one of the various Socratic schools of philosophy c.300 B.C.E.
He is credited as perhaps being the first person in history to advocate suicide. Although today we are going to debate that claim.
Not much is known about this unusual historical footnote, but what we do know is that his opinions caused him infamy which has somehow managed transcend through two millenniums and then some to reach us here today in the 21st century. Which is quite an accolade given that only one historical source has survived, and even then it's historical but certainly not contemporary.
So, let's have a look and see what Hegesias of Cyrene was all about.

One story has Heracles fighting Diomedes and leaving his companion Abderus in charge of the horses. Heracles fed the horses with Diomedes' body to pacify them after realizing they had eaten his companion after murdering their master. Another story goes that the hero cornered the horses on a peninsula, filled the trench with water, and made the peninsula into an island. Heracles killed Diomedes when he arrived and fed him to the horses.
Heracles was able to transport the horses to Eurystheus after calming them down by giving them human flesh. According to one narrative, the horses were then released to wander the countryside because they had attained permanent composure. According to a different story, Eurystheus offered them as a sacrifice to Zeus in Olympus, but the god rejected them and instead sent wolves and lions to destroy them.
