    ive never really liked doing more complex origami and folding animals or bugs, ive always liked more geometric origami tat liks really cool and futuristic. however, years ago my aunt bought me an origami book that i had completely forgotten about until no. it features mostly animals and bugs, the one thing i hate folding. this video inspired me to challenge myself and get out of my comfort zone. so i went to get the book and i noticed that its literally by Robert Lang, the man in this video, wow! just thought that was a bit interesting and it certainly inspires me to try out his designs because now i know the face of the person who mad the designs.

Mythology expert and Professor of classics Peter Meineck deep dives into all 48 of the constellations the ancient Greeks used in the night sky. From maritime navigation to agriculture and timekeeping, Meineck explains how eight main groupings of constellations were tracked in the night sky—and how they translate to today’s mythological storytelling.

Check out Peter’s book here:

WIRED recommends:

What do Iron Man and Odysseus have in common? The book traces Marvel’s intricate universe back to its earliest mythological roots. Meineck uses beloved heroes like Spider-Man and antiheroes like Deadpool to demonstrate how ancient themes persist in today’s pop culture. He draws compelling parallels, connecting Black Panther to the legend of Atlantis and revealing how disabled heroes like Daredevil have archetypes dating back to Hercules. The book explores the shared struggles of characters like Scarlet Witch and the sorceress Medea, showing how these timeless narratives have shifted to reflect society’s changing values.
