From Iranian Magi to the 2024 Paris Olympics Mascots
Update: 2024-09-25
Description
This episode explores the long history and evolving symbolism of the Phrygian cap, a conical hat with a forward-leaning tip. The cap originates with the Magi, a priestly caste from ancient Iran, who wore it as a symbol of their wisdom and authority. The Phrygian cap then spread westward, becoming associated with freedom and resistance during the French Revolution. Today, the 2024 Paris Olympics mascots, Olympic Phryge and Paralympic Phryge, are inspired by this cap, highlighting the enduring legacy of the Phrygian cap as a symbol of liberation and progress.
