Was Virgil's Aeneas a Faithful or a Traitor? His epithets tell us... or DO they? 😉

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?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

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.

When they said 'epic,' they clearly weren't just talking about the plot - they meant the gravitational pull of the physical object! 😵‍💫
My bookshelf may be panicking, but I'm ecstatic! Time to start some strength training for this absolute unit of a book #YouAreOdysseus 🏹

💙📚
It's an immersive experience; the weight of the book alone makes you feel like you've been on a 10-year voyage 😅 A hand holding the cover of the blue and red book, 'You Are Odysseus' by Homer/ L. Jenkinson-Brown. The cover features graphic design elements related to Greek mythology, including a ship, an eye, a siren, an owl, a winged boot, a lightning bolt, and a bow and arrow. My bookshelf will be leaning slightly to the left! When they said 'epic,' they really weren't just talking about the plot! A photo of the width of the book 'You Are Odysseus' by L. Jenkinson-Brown.

For #nationalpoetryday - one of the 51 endings of You Are Odysseus is written in the form of an Ancient Greek tragedy. Here’s an excerpt:
1-4/8
Excerpt from THE TRAGEDY OF ODYSSEUS, You Are Odysseus by L Jenkinson-Brown Excerpt from THE TRAGEDY OF ODYSSEUS You Are Odysseus, L Jenkinson-Brown ODYSSEUS HAS ARRIVED HOME TOO LATE. ATHENE HAS FORSAKEN HIM. ODYSSEUS: [dressed in clothes that are not his own, he enters from the countryside ] Here now I stand alone before my home once more I thought to get some help - the Swineherd loyal, my aim - but Suitors and their slaves did thwart me, til the night that forced me rough to sleep, until the blessed day that brought the sun again and cheered me on my quest to win back home and wife and son - Telemachus. My long-lost son, my heir. I hope once more to be Odysseus again. [He walks, like a man in hiding, round to the other side of the palace. EUMAEUS enters, also from the countryside, but from a slightly different origin. He is in disarray. ] EUMAEUS: Oh woe, oh woe is me! The young prince - woe is me, is us, is all of us! The young prince has been caught! Telemachus, the Prince, he came to stay with me escaping his own men - the crew aboard his ship the Suitors had cajoled and paid - they to betray their master, drop him off into the Suitor's trap. He came to me instead, alighting from his ship before they'd come to port, to hide... ODYSSEUS: [to himself, aside ] Can it be true - Eumaeus! My old friend! The swine-herd of my youth! And I am sure I heard Telemachus, that name fall from his lips just now! I must go ask his news. [ODYSSEUS shouts as he goes over to EUMAEUS in a parody of an ignorant visitor / What ho! Hello! You there! Did I hear you just now speak of Telemachus the young prince hereabouts? The son of that old King Odysseus, long-lost, and Queen Penelope? Where is he? Is he here? EUMAEUS: [too into his grief to look at the stranger who speaks to him. / I fear not, stranger, now the Suitors have him - he may never more be seen! ODYSSEUS: Your words stoke fear in me. My heart is in my throat. Is this the Suitors' plan? EUMAEUS: I fear it will be so - the Suitors waited long
