Virgil was a genius of storytelling and I've retold two tragic tales from his #Aeneid. Gender busting #Camilla is a good partner for my Nisus & Euryalus book. Lots of white space for teen readers and another brilliant cover by @flaroh.bsky.social AKA Flora Kirk. www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...

Thrilled that @flaroh.bsky.social agreed to do a new "red-figure vase" inspired cover for my revamped telling of a story from Virgil's #Aeneid! Short, violent and tragic, this book is perfect for reluctant or busy teen readers, especially those studying Latin GCSE. www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating without AI have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Historians! Does anyone have an example of what a Roman republican commander (any high rank) of 50 BCE-ish would wear? Contemporary vanity portraits/statues count too ClassicsBluesky🏺AncientBluesky

I am reminded that recently one of the mock trial kids that uses my classroom after school stopped me to compliment the decor, noting how colorful and engaging it is compared to other Latin classrooms. My posters are 70% from @flaroh.bsky.social, so, yeah, check out her great art.

Things to Remember Tonight: 1. Keep pets inside and play classical music to hide the noise of bagpipes. 2. Keep your haggis in a tin and only take it out when you plan to read a poem to it. 3. Never go back to a lighted haggis. 4. Burns should be run under cold water immediately.
