There we find a conflict between Theseus and King Minos on board a ship. Theseus takes his famous &#8220;dive&#8221; into the sea to ostensibly retrieve Mino&#8217;s golden ring and to prove to the king his favour among the Gods. Theseus emerges transformed and endowed with divine-backing. He has effectively become ready to take to his place as king. We will discuss Orphic imagery and parallels to this famous &#8220;dive&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Music Credits: Shadows and Dust&#8217; by Scott Buckley &#8211; released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au<br \/>\n\u2018Incantation\u2019 by Scott Buckley \u2013 released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lczqVWBMdq0\">Video Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To support the work of this channel: https:\/\/buymeacoffee.com\/abbasalchemy Dear viewer, Today we will be discussing Bacchylides&#8217; Dithyramb 17 (circa 500 BCE).
