🌟Brand New Episode - The Far Edges of the Known World with Owen Rees🌟 This interview is a cracker! We’re joined by historian Owen Rees, founder of @badancient.bsky.social to discuss his fabulous book which interrogates the idea of centres and peripheries when in comes to the ancient world.

When I was 29 and studying abroad in Athens, I saw "The Libation Bearers" at Epidaurus in the original Greek. It was a seminal experience of my life. When I think back upon it, which I often do, I'm so thankful: all of the sensory and perceptive experiences of that night are etched in my synapses 😍

Incredible views at the theatre of Epidaurus, famed for its amazing acoustics - thanks to clever design, you can even hear a coin drop on stage from the top row #archaeologybluesky #ancientbluesky #greece 🏺🎭
