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*!

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.

Hey all I’m trying to track down the amazing polychromy in Ancient Greece website that was all whizzy and parallax and stuff. I’m having a migraine and so my brain is deficient right now. Thanks in advance!

Been a bit distracted. Before I had Greek Myth, I had religious dogma and Scifi-fantasy crossovers. I had Pratchett. I’m old enough (and was precocious enough) to have read Good Omens when it came out, and optimistic enough that I…

❤️💔❤️ Given the time it finally had, they did what they could, and though I didn’t expect to like that ending, I did, and I’m happy. And bitterly sad. Because it’s possible to have more than one emotion about it. (RIP minisodes)

My thanks go to @lejenksbrown.bsky.social for this sterling episode, which was so good I immediately asked her to return for another in a couple of months! This episode is perfect for people who know the Trojan war through movies and games, and want to try tackling reading a translation...

Help Please: Some of my younger students were making presentations on sacrifice and came up with this term for purification of water: Khernips χέρνιψ. Etym. χείρ, "the hand" + νίπτω, "I wash.") There are numerous Hellenism pages that give instructions on how to make and use this…

It’s World Book Day! I’ve celebrated by dressing as one of my favourite Ancient Greek characters (and goddesses) to read and to write, ⚡️Athene, Goddess of Wisdom⚡️ (And I taught three classes and a help session dressed like this!)
