New Publication! 'Rethinking Clement's Euripides: Source and Spectacle' by Dr. Ed Creedy (@edcreedy.bsky.social), published in Classical Quarterly and offering a fresh perspective on Clement's multi-faceted engagement with his dramatic sources. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

With a busy past few weeks I missed that this has now come out with CQ's FirstView. A fun piece to write! I argue a misunderstanding of Clement's theatrical interests has blinkered our reading of this influential early Christian figure. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Send in a paper! It’s going to be a great conference!

Spent a few days exploring this stunning ancient city last year. The Piazza dell'Anfiteatro is wonderful, with fragments of the Roman structure amidst the later buildings. Our visit coincided with the Festa di Sante Croce, with the winding streets lit by candles and the city filled with hymns.

Late to the party but finally started watching Kaos last night. Prometheus' opening monologue on Zeus seemed pretty spot on to me...

Nice to see this out this week. Something a little different that spun out of my doctoral work, and ended up as a piece tracing a "Platonic" epithet back through the last five centuries of scholarship. brill.com/view/journal...

Popping this back up for those who’ve recently joined the platform. Deadline tomorrow!

Ambrose confronting Theodosius, painted by Rubens (c.1615). One of many highlights from my amble round the Kunsthistorisches Museum this morning.
