Episode 8: The Sea Giveth and the Sea Taketh Away

August 02, 2023 Kate Naglieri Season 1 Episode 8

The sea is a captivating and unpredictable force. It offers abundant resources, sustenance, and trade routes to countless civilizations throughout history, fostering prosperity, cultural exchange and reprieve. 

But it also demands respect. The sea’s duality serves as a reminder of nature’s power, and the delicate balance between human dependence on its bounty and the need to approach it with humility and reverence. 

The two stories I have to share with you today exemplify the age-old saying: The sea giveth and the sea taketh away. 

I’m Kate Naglieri. Welcome to The Bygone Society Show.
