I recently published YOU ARE ODYSSEUS as a podcast, and made some new illustrations for the episode graphics. I’d already made Penelope, and now here are Circe and Calypso. They’re all based originally on the Minoan Lady from Knossos…

Who needs romance? Apparently not Achilles' mum and dad... Listen to the full episode with @greekmythcomix.bsky.social now: www.ancienthistory101.org/p/gods-in-ep...

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...

Best of luck to the NASA Artemis II crew tonight/today. I have an extremely excited little girl who’s spent the evening reading the crew bios and watching videos with anticipation. And I’m sure there’s a goddess who’s pretty chuffed that the new moon missions are finally being named after her…

This was such FUN to talk about and Alexandra is such a great host! Listen now ⬇️

Odysseus Found Not Guilty at the National Hellenic Museum’s Trial - GreekReporter.com greekreporter.com/2026/03/18/o...

In twenty years of teaching (albeit at a secondary school level) I’ve never come across this term… Can someone with more academic reading under their belt please tell me is it an Ancient Greek thing I’ve entirely missed or more modern?

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…

YOU ARE ODYSSEUS has sold 1000 copies! 🎉

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!)

This is still arguably the best film depiction of the Underworld as described by Homer, and if this scene isn’t done as well in the Nolan Odyssey film this June, I shall be sad and disappointed.

Your day will be like... wasps, tormented over time by children at their nest on a roadside, so that they now attack every passer-by. Iliad 16.259-67

COMIC: What is a sycophant? Featuring Tacitus 3.65 and a certain US AG.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all, especially my own Odysseus (who posed for this illustration and whom I waited a lot longer than 20 years to find) ❤️ Thankfully he’s never used one of Odysseus’ lines on me…

Classics Teaching emergency! I need to know the exact meaning of the term ‘hieroscopos’, and why it was an important role in Athens.

As we enter into what will likely be another "annus odusseia" here are some resources on Homer and the Odyssey for audiences of different levels and interest [they are open-access or reasonably priced]

The Oxford Critical Guide to Homer’s Odyssey is now available electronically. The print version will be out in the UK in December and in the US in March. academic.oup.com/book/61677

It’s the final night of Saturnalia, and Christmas Eve Eve! Here’s a present: a FREE PDF of two Roman games!

Help required, fellow educators! I'd like to make an interactive timeline, where I can link videos, text, images, and links to external sources. Any suggestions for a programme that can do this?
