My Story

It started when I encountered a whimsical YouTube video featuring an abridged recitation of Plato’s text against a peppy, well-synchronized musical soundtrack, styled to conjure up sleep-inducing imagery in the mind’s eye. Then I added Plato’s Timaeus and Critias to the Greek Classics reading list I was just nearing the end of. Then I started highlighting and annotating text in the ebooks in the evenings before dozing off. One or two of the mobile phone screen captures even made it into the first video, which grew over months into a 2-hour feature documentary.

Hmmm, I remember thinking. This Phaeton mythos is shaping up into a description of a bolide strike. Then I came to the part where Sonchis tells Solon, “Now this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving in the heavens around the earth, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth, which recurs after long intervals.” I was stunned. Not only was Sonchis of Sais, an Egyptian astronomer priest in 600 BCE, describing a bolide strike, but HE KNEW he was describing a bolide strike. This is nuts! I thought loudly, borrowing an expletive that I would later learn was unprintable vulgar slang when it was popularized as such by a member of General Patton’s Third Army during World War II in response to an attack plan. Then I was hooked, most probably for life.
