Highly recommend Corinna Riva’s new OA article—an insightful look at how local, regional, and Mediterranean-wide perspectives reshape our understanding of connectivity, mobility, and social change in the first millennium BC. A great read that reframes the ancient Mediterranean.

My favourite pot: Minonian jar with an octopus 🐙 #archaeology
This jar stands at an impressive height of 75 cm. The painted decoration depicts an octopus, swimming in an abstract seascape. The jar comes from the Minoan palace at Knossos, on the island of Crete, and was created in the 15th century BCE.

I love Nolan’s films—most of them, I’ll admit.
But the classicist in me screams:
The whole point of the Odyssey is—do not defy the gods!
