It turns out that @greekmythcomix.bsky.social is a superlative interviewer, taking on the role of host with aplomb. I could listen to Laura read the phone book, but once you've listened to her interview me about *my* book, you should listen to her read her *own* book! shows.acast.com/you-are-odys...

It's not every day this podcast host publishes a book, so today's episode is a bit of a celebration! Temporarily stepping into Alexandra's interviewer shoes is the inimitable @lejenksbrown.bsky.social, as Alexandra talks about her book 'Gladiators in the Greek World' and her writing process.

An absolute pleasure to take the chair to get to interview @belovedofoizys.bsky.social about her own book for Ancient History 101! And it’s such a *good book*!

Mythography is the collection and compilation of myths, and the genre is millennia old - who knew that video games would continue the tradition? Our full episode on Greek Mythology in Video Games with Alexander Vandewalle @alexvandewalle.bsky.social is out now!

With all the furore over Nolan's diverse Odyssey cast, it turns out that video games have quietly been diversifying their own casts for years. Take the non-binary depiction of Hermes of #StrayGods! Our full episode examining Greek myths in video games with @alexvandewalle.bsky.social is out now!

Had a genuine blast talking with @belovedofoizys.bsky.social on the Ancient History 101 Podcast about everything video games and mythology! We talk about games like Hades, Odyssey, Stray Gods, and more, and even about the kind of games we'd make ourselves. Thanks again for having me!
