Love this story about combining two of my passions: endurance running and Homer’s Odyssey

My 14th straight NJCL was amazing and included my 500th Homeric performance. What a ride on the winedark sea.

Had a blast talking about Epic with @voguearchaeology.bsky.social and @sentantiq.bsky.social as part of Liv’s @mythsbaby.bsky.social podcast. Come for the reception talk, stay for the preponderance of 90’s music references.
"This is chiefly what I find important about creative receptions like Epic: The Musical. They both update ancient narratives for modern audiences and provide reinterpretations. In the latter capacity, Epic does as well–if not better–than a lot of scholarship. "

Loved this conversation… go listen where you get your pods!!
How can men find their way to war but not find their way to a good #podcast? We assemble our biggest survey panel ever to court the latest re-imagining of Homer’s #Odyssey (or the back half at least): The Return. @apistone.bsky.social @sentantiq.bsky.social @joegoodkin.bsky.social #Ancientbluesky

This was so much fun. Nolan’s Odyssey can’t come out soon enough so we can do the sequel!
All of tonight's guests were truly brilliant! Thank you all for coming on to talk #Homer and Ralph Fiennes' full-frontal nudity in #TheReturn. #Odyssey #AncientBluesky #Podcast

Rewatching #TheReturn for tonight's discussion while typing up my shownotes (still love it). I am eager to learn what everyone has to say about it! #Podcast #AncientBluesky

Very excited for this discussion! So much to talk about with a group of people I admire greatly.
If you were unable to catch #TheReturn in theaters, it's now available to stream on Apple TV+ and rent/buy on Prime. Thus far, opinions are split, which will make for an excellent podcast episode with @sentantiq.bsky.social, @joegoodkin.bsky.social, & @apistone.bsky.social. Watch and be in the know!
Anyone else have a chance to catch this yet? If not, you might want to do it soon since it's quickly disappearing from theaters. You could wait to stream it, but why give Amazon more of your money this season? #AncientBluesky #Podcast #TheReturn

Would have loved to ask Socrates about whether ketchup belongs on hot dogs
“When Socrates observed that someone was using a condiment excessively, he said “Guests, who is using relish like bread and bread like a relish?”
Σωκράτης δ’ ἰδών τινα ἀμέτρως τῇ ἐποψήσει χρώμενον ‘ὦ παρόντες, ἔφη, τίς ὑμῶν τῷ μὲν ἄρτῳ ὡς ὄψῳ χρῆται, τῷ δ’ ὄψῳ ὡς ἄρτῳ.’ #Athenaeus
Σωκράτης δ’ ἰδών τινα ἀμέτρως τῇ ἐποψήσει χρώμενον ‘ὦ παρόντες, ἔφη, τίς ὑμῶν τῷ μὲν ἄρτῳ ὡς ὄψῳ χρῆται, τῷ δ’ ὄψῳ ὡς ἄρτῳ.’ #Athenaeus
