Brilliant whistle tour of St Andrews. Hope to see you around in the next couple of days!

Yep. 'Παντρεύομαι' comes from υπανδρεύομαι, which essentially means coming under the control/ protection of a man. But again very few Greeks would realise this and today's meaning is far away from it.

Indeed! And very few Greeks would make the (linguistic) connection between the two so you need to be careful on how you use it :-)

Academia was very different at the time in terms of how it treated maternity. I am glad we are more flexible and supportive now than we were then.

For 8 years I was stuck in the same bracket, not being able to do much. It is honestly a game-changer once you get a permanent contract. It is of course something that you know very well, but...

How excellent!

There is this global.oup.com/academic/pro... but not cheap and form Renaissance onwards. And there is this one (cheaper but a heavy volume) www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067... which I use a lot; not only mythology though but includes all myths/heroes etc

I have just put an order for the book for our library but I would really appreciate an offprint (email gk8@st-andrews.ac.uk). I give my students your article on Photographing Dura Europos when we discuss archaeology and photography so it would be great to include this one too.

Always happy to help with this. The perks of being Greek
