Myth, Freedom, and Modernity
This chapter explores the connections between ancient mythologies and modern national symbols, particularly the Star-Spangled Banner. It examines how themes of freedom and sexuality from ancient societies, particularly through figures like Dionysus and Liber, resonate with contemporary discussions of liberty and governance. The dialogue also analyzes the influence of historical figures like Napoleon and Jefferson in the context of revolutions and the legacy of religious authority.
