Ancient Birth

The poem that invented the universe. Before Homer's heroes sailed to Troy, before Odysseus wandered the wine-dark sea, a Boeotian shepherd named Hesiod stood on Mount Helicon and received from the Muses the oldest surviving account of how everything began. The Theogony is the foundational text of Greek mythology — the poem that gave the gods their genealogy, the cosmos its architecture, and Western literature its first creation story. From the primordial abyss of Chaos to the rise of Zeus, from the castration of Uranus to the birth of Aphrodite from the foam of the sea, Hesiod's thousand-...

It’s time for a childbirth revolution. Childbirth has always been, and always will be, a significant rite of passage that transforms a woman into a mother. However, the modern approach to maternity care fails women, families, and care providers with outdated practices that center the needs of institutions rather than individuals. In this audiobook, Rachel Reed demonstrates how childbirth can be reclaimed to center women and support birth physiology.

This book retraces the origins of Rome by closely following the path laid down by the great ancient sources. It is neither a work of narrative fiction nor a product of modern speculation: it presents the story of the founder as it was transmitted by Livy, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, and Plutarch.

The work examines the emergence of the earliest institutions, the role of the...

What they left behind, in a vast region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, preserves leaps in human ingenuity. But they also capture breathtakingly intimate, raw, and relatable moments, like a dog's paw prints as it accidentally stepped into fresh clay, or the imprint of a child's teeth.
