Hello folks! In case we haven’t been introduced - here’s me and some stuff of which I’m proud.

I’m going to be publishing You Are Odysseus myself later this year (it’s very long and niche which seems to have scared most agents and publishers I’ve queried!) I’m planning on IngramSpark but would love advice, esp on Books.by and Vellum vs Atticus! bsky.app/profile/gree...

Hubris the Cat looks like he’s on that last life and it’s all his own fault

✨25% off EVERYTHING in my merch shops✨ Greek Myth Comix: redbubble.com/people/GreekMythComix/shop - comics and stuff, including Odyssey and Iliad/ Trojan War stuff Classics Nerds: redbubble.com/people/ClassicsNerds/shop - ancient world retro travel posters, myth band tees and pottery illustration!

I would actually rather The Muppets Odyssey. Michael Sheen as Odysseus, Kermit as Telemachus. Miss Piggy as Penelope. Fozzy as Polites (role made bigger) or Eumaeus. Timothee Chalamet as Antinous and Gonzo as Eurymachus, the Suitors. Rizzo as Homer. The Band as the Lotus Eaters.

First-look Matt Damon as Odysseus - costume (notes from a nerd)

Ancient Greek tragedy metre - help request!

Happy Valentine’s! 💕Which is the most romantic Odyssey line translation?💕

Nolan’s Odyssey film continues to look intriguing: There will be ANIMATRONIC PUPPETS in LOCATION-SPECIFIC SETTINGS! (Also the artist Andrea Piparo made that Polyphemus piece that of course isn’t getting credited in the Other Place ‪ andreapiparo.artstation.com/%E2%80%AC)

Accidentally opened the Other app: - full screen popup crying for money - this nonsense, encouraging this racism ⬇️ - screenshots of M*sk spouting yet more actual woke conspiracies he’s just discovered - PIE ‘discourse’ I feel like I just got hit over the head with a brick.

✨ XENIA ✨ An oldie (2014!) in case you don’t know what it is I actually do: 10 yrs ago I started making stickman comic explanations of concepts for my classes.Since then, despite their scratchy, primitive style, they’ve been used in classes and unis round the world, and the video has over 37k views!
