🍬It's the last day of Spooky Book Week, and this post is about Classical reception: how the ancient world has been remembered and interpreted in more recent times.

It's a growing—and fascinating—subject, looking at everything from art and literature to music and video games.

In light of all the football related drama last weekend, we present the famous football fictitious entry found in the German edition of Der Neue Pauly encyclopaedia - the sport "Apopudobalia"! Fictitious entries are often entered into long works to detect plagiarism and copyright violations.
