Love this story about combining two of my passions: endurance running and Homer’s Odyssey

Wrote about my shows at University of Michigan joesodyssey.com/blogs/blog/p...

My 14th straight NJCL was amazing and included my 500th Homeric performance. What a ride on the winedark sea.

And in more fun(?) updates, we have a new poster and release date (July 17, 2026) for Nolan's Odyssey. Get hyped for another reception battle with @apistone.bsky.social @sentantiq.bsky.social and @joegoodkin.bsky.social!

Had a blast talking about Epic with @voguearchaeology.bsky.social and @sentantiq.bsky.social as part of Liv’s @mythsbaby.bsky.social podcast. Come for the reception talk, stay for the preponderance of 90’s music references.

Really great week of shows including back at BGSU Thursday!

This was so much fun. Nolan’s Odyssey can’t come out soon enough so we can do the sequel!

Rewatched last night!! Can’t wait

Very excited for this discussion! So much to talk about with a group of people I admire greatly.

I wrote about performing the Blues of Achilles and the Odyssey back to back and what I think my performances capture that textual translations can’t joesodyssey.com/blog/blog/72...

“But an aquarium is not a river just like a text is not a performance.” Thx to @sentantiq.bsky.social for leading the way with Homeric analogies. AncientBluesky joesodyssey.com/blog/blog/72...

Typically elegant stuff. I’ve been thinking of the text of the epics as an aquarium whereas performances were a river.
