I've had an article published! Thanks to @workingclassicists.bsky.social for the opportunity. This is an article about how the ancient Greek world viewed martial dance as training. Would love it if folks read and shared. It's short!

I finished writing this tonight. It’s a textbook for National 5 Classical Studies, the first of its kind.
I’m not sure but I think the last Scotland-specific Classics textbook for schools came out in 1983.
Anyway, it’s 220 pages long and will be available for free/donation from tomorrow.
