My 1st article for National Geographic is out now. It is on Cleopatra’s & Antony’s surviving children after their parents’ deaths—especially Cleopatra Selene. Thanks to Jane Draycott (and her book, Cleopatra’s Daughter) & @candidamoss.bsky.social for their help. And @bresnick.bsky.social for edits.

I don't mean to brag but my kid called me and said "I don't have a lot of time to talk but I have to share my feelings about the Odyssey." He then went into a ten minute rant about things that are different from the poem.
