Another great book about the politics around the treatment of the dead in ancient Greece and how we can review modern times' cases through the classical texts. Excellent reading by Efimia Karakantza and her colleagues that shows why humanity studies remain relevant.

I have spent the entire day working on the reviewing process of the @libereurope.bsky.social conference. This version, with more than 200 submissions from 40 countries, is driving my excitement to new heights. Very fascinating ideas & practices from research libraries from all over the world.

This is the view from the chapel of St. Jerusalem in the area of Livadeia, a small city in the Greek mainland. It takes half an hour and more than 600 steps to reach the chapel, but the view is rewarding.
