SEASON 3 EPISODE 6: RUMOURS

This week, we’re reading Chapters 35-41 through the theme of rumours. Sarai’s exhaustion grows as Minya’s delight at a prospective war increases. Sarai finds herself in Lazlo’s dream and warns him not to come to the Citadel, but the silk sleighs make the journey the next day anyway. Minya’s army attacks and Sarai is hurt trying to warn them away; Lazlo saves Azareen’s life.

Derrida and deconstructionism - you can read more about what that is here. 

The maxim ‘Know Thyself’ is inscribed on the pediment of the temple of Apollo at Delphi. Read more about it. 

The Rumour from The Umbrella Academy - a graphic novel by Gerard Way, and a Netflix series (it’s wild, and has an amazing soundtrack - Jen V recommends!)

Attachments - Rainbow Rowell (another good book boyfriend, Lincoln). More here. 

Jenn D found this resource about rumours helpful.  

The Elgin Marbles - Marc Fennell released an episode of Stuff the British Stole about this very issue with a lot more detail & context. It’s here - highly recommended listening! 

And here is Jen V’s Sea Shanty Playlist (if that’s your jam!)
