  Sumerian Gods and Heroes -...

  The mythology of the Sumerians stands as one of the earliest recorded religious traditions, shaping the beliefs of later civilizations in Mesopotamia and beyond. As one of the first urban societies, the Sumerians established a complex pantheon of gods and heroes that explained the forces of nature, human existence, and the divine order of the universe. Their myths, inscribed on clay tablets in cuneiform script, offer a glimpse into a world where deities governed every aspect of life, from the rising sun to the floods of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These stories, rich with symbolism and allegory, not only influenced later cultures but also laid the foundation for many of the myths and legends still told today.  
  Sumerian civilization thrived in southern Mesopotamia, in what is now modern-day Iraq, around 3100 BCE. The Sumerians built city-states such as Uruk, Ur, and Nippur, each with its own patron deity. Religion was deeply intertwined with governance, as rulers were seen as intermediaries between the gods and the people. The belief that divine favor determined a city’s prosperity reinforced the importance of rituals, offerings, and temple constructions, particularly the iconic ziggurats that served as sacred centers of worship. The Sumerian gods were not distant, benevolent figures but rather powerful beings with human emotions and rivalries, shaping the world through both harmony and conflict.  
  The primary sources of Sumerian mythology come from cuneiform texts, including the Enuma Elish, various temple hymns, and the Epic of Gilgamesh. These texts preserve tales of creation, divine wars, and the struggles of mortal heroes. The myths of Anu, Enlil, and Enki explain the structure of the cosmos and the forces that govern it, while legends of Inanna and Dumuzi reveal the themes of love, fertility, and the cycle of life and death.

  "Broadcasting Vietnam" offers a powerful and deeply human look at one of the most controversial wars in modern history and how it was brought into the living rooms of America.

  Ancient Greece’s Most Important...

  Editors Charles River

  Nearly 2,500 years after the Golden Age of Athens, people across the world today continue to be fascinated by the ancient Greeks, but who did the Ancient Greeks look up to? The answer to that question can be found in Homer’s The Odyssey, in which Odysseus makes note of “a great town there, Cnossus, where Minos reigned.” It was perhaps the earliest reference to the Minoan civilization, a mysterious ancient civilization that historians and archaeologists still puzzle over, but a civilization that renowned historian Will Durant described as "the first link in the European chain.” Nearly 2,000 years before Homer wrote his epic poems, the Minoan civilization was centered on the island of Crete, a location that required the Minoans to be a regional sea power. And indeed they were, stretching across the Aegean Sea from about 2700-1500 BCE with trade routes extending all the way to Egypt. 
  In the Archaic and Classical periods, Rhodes often stood as a prime exemplar of the highs and lows of its fellow Greek cities, and as the largest island of the Dodecanese, Rhodes’ history is largely in line with that of the rest of those islands. Rhodes would reach the zenith of its power in the Hellenistic period following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE. Even as the rest of the city-states waned compared to the much larger kingdoms of Alexander’s successors in Egypt and Asia, Rhodes would come to the forefront as a main power in the Greek world, standing toe-to-toe with these Hellenistic kingdoms.  
  It was during the Classical era that, especially under the tyrants (dictators) of the Greek city of Syracuse, Sicily came the closest to being governed as a single, unified, and independent state. In time, it came to challenge the powerful trade empire of Carthage, a former Phoenician colony in North Africa, and it vied with the cities and kingdoms of mainland Greece for primacy in the Greek world.

  Do you avoid asking Black clients certain questions because you're embarrassed about something you think you "should" know about "Black culture" or racism? Are you hesitant to have conversations about race or racism with Black clients because you're afraid you'll look ignorant or unintentionally offend them? Do you believe that if a Black client doesn't mention race-related issues as a presenting concern, then it's not worth bringing up at all? 
   
   
   
  The reality is that although many Black clients will not zero in on the impact of racism in their lives, ignoring the issue of race in therapy leaves a very large elephant in the room. And you can't build rapport with elephants in the room. So what do you do? 
   
   
   
  In No Racial Elephants in the Therapy Room, Dr. Rheeda Walker provides the answer to this question. With her no-nonsense and unapologetic style, she provides useful language, tips, and guidance that will allow you to: navigate the first session with Black clients who are wary about working with you; feel more comfortable talking about race, racism, and what it means to be Black; avoid common pitfalls and not to-dos when working with Black clients; and much more. Mental health care isn't designed with Black people in mind. If you truly want to meet African American clients where they are, you will have to confront the elephant in the room.
