Something new for 2026… (You guys are always telling me I need to voice audiobooks, so, here we go!) YOU ARE ODYSSEUS, the many-minded man, the most famous adventure hero of all time. Join me, L Jenkinson-Brown, for this atmospheric, interactive, audiobook podcast…

Total is currently up to $267! greekmythcomix.gumroad.com for random fun end-of-term and school holiday activities. Most are pocket-money prices, or free/choose-what-to-pay. All of it will go to the two charities below this month.

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?

My piece the second edition of Sing O Muse Zine is today’s @classicstober.bsky.social prompt - the Moirai - the Fates More detailed than my usual style, and with a cool-toned colour palette to fit the tone of the zine. #classicstober25

Every year I do a couple of fun winter projects. Last year I started designing knitwear! Pleased to officially announce the CLASSICS NERDS ‘25 collection: GORGONEION
