since the dawn of history the pyramids have been considered one of the wonders of the earth they are unique there is nothing to compare with them in any other land strangers have gazed upon them in amazement and pondered what they were and how and why they were built Myths that they were the work of the gods became numerous, for the structures were so gigantic that it seemed impossible that puny man could have built them.
Stephen SeidelNARRATOR
About their human origin there was no doubt to the discerning travelers, but the object in building them was not always so plain.
Stephen SeidelNARRATOR
long and learned books have been written to show that the pyramids bore some special astronomical significance that one of the main passages in the great pyramid was built at a certain angle to enable the astronomers of earlier days to watch a certain star pass in its course across the opening in the face of the pyramid that the height of the great pyramid bore a definite relation to the distance of the earth from the sun that the base of the pyramid meant something else in fact the pyramid has been measured in all directions in all sorts of manners and these measurements have been made to fit in with pet theories which have been the basis of many books there is not the slightest mystery as to what the pyramids actually are they are merely tombs but people have not been content to accept this explanation perhaps because it is too simple so they have endowed the pyramids with all sorts of wonderful meanings which would astound the builders were they to come back from the fields of the blessed astrologers who puzzled on the meanings of the stars and the heavens claimed the great pyramid as peculiarly their own and pointed out certain coincidences and measurements to support their claim the astronomers adduced their own reasons for claiming that the pyramid had some astronomical meaning biblical students on the other hand who sought the hidden meanings of the bible concluded that the pyramid was definite proof of certain of their own theories The pyramids have indeed been so enwrapped in mystery by the writings and theories of successive generations that thousands of people today regard them with a sort of religious belief.

Matt GiulianoHOST
The novel opens and closes on her.
Matt GiulianoHOST
In the interview, Myth and Masculinity, The Feminist Beowulf for the British Library, author Maria Headley describes her first encounters with Grendel's mother and, though this interview is primarily focused on her 2020 translation of Beowulf, as The Mere Wife came out two years earlier and was the gateway to the translation, I think it is salient when discussing the novel.
Matt GiulianoHOST
Headley says, "...I was probably eight years old and I saw this picture of a woman coming up out of the pond with a sword in her hand, and she was pretty much naked." Like she was a little bit sexy, but more furious than sexy.
Matt GiulianoHOST
She looked scary and like she was done with behaving.

Matt GiulianoHOST
This idea is easy to universalize out of Heret Hall and see in our own society where women's unpaid labor is not valued as labor, their actions are to be policed by social judgment from both men and women, and men should be both deferred to and yet somehow not trusted to behave if a woman is present.
Matt GiulianoHOST
Part 5, Gallimaufry.
