Les Grecs ont-ils cru en leurs mythes ?
Toutes les histoires mettant en scène des créatures et des héros mythologiques nous ont émerveillés étant enfant. Aujourd’hui, on se doute bien que Thésée n’a sans doute pas rencontré le Minotaure, qu’Ulysse n’a pas vraiment dit qu’il s’appelait Personne à un Cyclope et qu’Hercule n’a pas vraiment enchaîné un chien à trois têtes à la fin de ses Douze Travaux.
Mais les Grecs, eux, croyaient-ils réellement à ces mythes ? En s’appuyant notamment sur un livre de Paul Veyne, Manon va nous démontrer que la réponse n’est… pas si simple. Le scepticisme de certains historiens de l’époque réveillera d’ailleurs l’esprit critique de Christophe qui s’empressera de trouver une comparaison plus contemporaine.
Language is a living entity, constantly evolving and adapting to the needs of its speakers. "Linguisticae" invites you into this fascinating world, shedding light on the origins of countless words and phrases that might have puzzled you. If you've ever found yourself wondering about an unusual expression or the etymology of a curious word, this is the show for you!
The series currently boasts over 200 episodes, each crafted to unravel a different aspect of language. From expressions like "jour ouvrable" to verbs such as "se pavaner", every episode takes viewers on an educational adventure into linguistics. Each inquiry is not only informative but also peppered with humor and relatable anecdotes, making learning about language entertaining and accessible.
In its first season, "Linguisticae" tackles questions that many might find themselves asking in everyday life. For instance, Episode 1 dives into whether one can describe a bottle as "ouvrable" while exploring concepts related to geometry in non-Euclidean spaces—though it playfully admits that it won't be providing answers about triangles! Such curiosity-driven content encourages viewers to engage more deeply with their use of language while appreciating its complexities.
