🍬It's the last day of Spooky Book Week, and this post is about Classical reception: how the ancient world has been remembered and interpreted in more recent times.
It's a growing—and fascinating—subject, looking at everything from art and literature to music and video games.

Fantastic list! Especially number 36 😜
I have dealt with my BIG FEELINGS about people saying mean things about London by writing this about 57 things I love in London. There were 100 things I loved, but it got too long for one email. London is inexhaustible.
