There is a new, open access 🚨 📖 book tracing the global history of Zoroastrianism from antiquity (6th century BCE-7th century CE) to the Middle Ages—and then into modernity. My friend & top Manichaeism scholar
@babelalexandria.bsky.social
has a chapter as well.

Odysseus and Athena have the most interesting relationship in the Odyssey bc it's the only one that doesn't feel formalized; everything else is a web of kinship, marriage and hospitality obligations, and then Athena is like "I love this crazy bastard because you never know what he's gonna do next!"

in context, Stringer Bell, is saying "I want you to put the word out there" is him trying to sell a weak product, but Idris Elba just has that presence that sells the meme version

The Sogdian & Bactrian world 400-800 CE was a fascinating cosmopolitan & multicultural society of art loving rich merchants & cultured elite dealing in high politics & intrigue, reminiscent of Renaissance Italy. Yet a sum total of 10 scholars or less work on it! That is truly heartbreaking.

I have read this book once, twice, thrice, and reading it again - yet feel unequal to write about it in a way that would do its sorrow and brilliance justice. So I will simply say 天涼好個秋, things in nature merely grow. Congratulations to Yiyun Li for the Pulitzer.

There's actually a tradition of Roman emperors being depicted in Egyptian art during the period when Egypt was part of Rome. More on that in this article.

Why Does This Newly Discovered 2,000-Year-Old Stone Slab Depict a Roman Emperor as an Egyptian Pharaoh?
The sandstone monument shows Tiberius standing next to a family of local gods. Archaeologists say the scene illustrates the ruler's role as a leader who upheld cosmic order in Egyptian society

Un tío que no se ducha, que se pasa la vida encerrado en casa, coleccionado espadas y leyendo fantasía de calidad cuestionable, que idealiza a las mujeres y cree que le deben algo en base a las mierdas que lee. Es increíble que ser Otaku sea un estado mental con más de 400 años de historia.
