Our new PM made my heart leap a little: "My message to young people is this - whether you choose construction, coding or classics…, you'll get the skills you need and be given the respect you deserve”. So glad my subject begins with <c> so it can feature in his alliterative list 🙂❤️ #AncientBluesky

Excited to be crossing the shining ocean in March to Mobile, AL to deliver a paper on Iliad: Major Battle Episodes and Structure. It’s a bit old school, so will be interested to see how it goes down at CAMWS2026… #iliad #classicsbluesky

My paperback Lattimore translation finally gave up the ghost after nearly 40 years’ service. Pleased to report that it broke at Book 16. #Iliad #classicsbluesky

Feeble joke for y’all… What’s Homer’s favourite Christmas decoration…? 🤔 #homer #ClassicsBlueSky

Am trying sthg ambitious - re-researching my 1989 undergrad thesis on Iliadic battle episodes to re-write so it’s fit for journal peer review. Not found much on battle scenes yet. Fenik & Krischer are great, but….a bit past their sell by dates. Grateful for any recommends! TY #ClassicsBlueSky #Iliad

Joined up a couple of weeks ago. Can’t remember what interests I chose, don’t seem to be able to find out. Question: is it just me or is everyone’s feed dominated by authors? Not complaining, it’s a nice change from the Muskrat site where all I get is Russia-Ukraine and Exeter City FC #author #book
