July 16, 2025 Lesse Greek and More with Dr Earl Showerman with Host Mark Eddy
Over the past century, Ben Jonson’s First Folio reference to Shakespeare’s “small Latin and lesse Greek” has led literary scholars to conclude that Shakespeare used English or Latin translations of Seneca, Plutarch, and Ovid as sources for his dramatic adaptations from Greek myth. The untranslated dramas of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes were rarely considered to be primary sources.

Shakespeare’s Greater Greek sets forth the extensive literary and historical evidence demonstrating the profound influence of these previously excluded Greek dramas on Shakespeare’s comedies and tragedies, with fresh analyses of: Hamlet, Macbeth, Timon of Athens, Titus Andronicus, The Winter’s Tale, Pericles, Prince of Tyre, Much Ado About Nothing, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

The playwright’s knowledge of untranslated Greek sources directly challenges the claim of authorship made on behalf of the gentleman from Stratford, and supports the attribution of these works to Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, who studied the Greek Bible, attended the Greek church in Venice, and collected and sponsored translations of classical Greek editions. The recent discovery of de Vere’s annotations in both both Latin and Greek handwriting in Greek editions of Roman history at the Audley End Library in Essex, England provides clear proof of Oxford’s Greek fluency and his potential involvement in the creation of the Shakespeare canon.

Recognizing Greek drama, history, and epic as Shakespeare sources has profound implications, not only as newly acknowledged literary sources, but also reflecting critically in support of an author deeply indebted to the Greek example.

July 11, 2025 The Ohio Valleys Antiquarians and what they discovered with Mark Eddy
The Grave Creek Mound is a well known remnant of West Virginia' Native American prehistory. However, for most people interested in prehistory,they may not realize that fossil specimens from the Northern Panhandle and Upper Ohio River Valley laid the foundation for the study of America's Deep Antiquity. Many of the 19th Century scientists were employed by the emerging fossil fuel industries when they made their discoveries of the Permian animals and plants. While the Valley's geology kept the scientists returning, they made other discoveries related to the Ice Age. For example, they arrived at the conclusion that the Ohio River had been an evolving geographical feature. It was covered by an ocean, was a swamp, then a series of independent lakes, then a massive lake until a mysterious, catastrophic event caused a sudden drainage, which created the "unified" river we know today.
As we move forward in time, we find that the Upper Ohio Valley has been forgotten about, mischaracterized, and we do not have a solid understanding of the Valley's Native inhabitants. Modern researchers write about what was found in each state bordering the Ohio River at the expense of a more holistic view of both shores of the river. Did the Ancients observe such a boundary? The second half of the book examines what we do not know about the Valley's prehistoric cultures and what we will try to answer over this series.
Mr. Eddy includes many photographs of Permian and Pleistocene specimens, curated artifacts and panoramas of where the scientists developed their theories of the evolution of the Ohio Valley.

July 01, 2025 Tripping the Trail of Ghosts with P.D. Newman
The use of hallucinogenic substances like peyote and desert tobacco has long played a significant role in the spiritual practices and traditions of Native Americans. While the majority of those practices are well documented, the relationship between entheogens and Native Americans of the Southeast has gone largely unexplored.

Examining the role of psychoactive plants in afterlife traditions, sacred rituals, and spirit journeying by shamans of the Mississippian mound cultures, P. D. Newman explores in depth the Native American death journey known as the "Trail of Ghosts" or "Path of Souls." He demonstrates how practices such as fasting and trancework when used with psychedelic plants like jimsonweed, black nightshade, morning glory, and amanita and psilocybin mushrooms could evoke the liminal state between life and death in initiatory rites and spirit journeys for shamans and chiefs. He explores the earthwork and platform mounds built by Indigenous cultures of the Mississippi Valley, showing how they quite likely served as early models for the Path of Souls. He also explores similarities between the Ghost Trail afterlife journey and the well-known Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead.
