I'm giving a talk at a workshop tomorrow, 'in' Toronto (by zoom), about what Latin literature can do with ecocriticism. I am going to say that I think we need to make major reductions in flying for such purposes. What do others think? Can/should academia stop its addiction to conferences?

I would like to tell the Bluesky community about an article I have just had published, which reads an ancient poem through a 21st-century lens. It's about a time when a young man tried to drive the chariot of the sun, which went horribly badly and burnt the earth.
