Last day or two to submit an abstract to the ACANS/Macquarie University Ancient Societies and Ancient Artefacts conference if you are so inclined! A great exchange on how we use material culture in the classroom awaits! :-)

We’re thrilled by this development. A lot of hard work by some very good people has gone into creating this new society.
If you love the ancient world but want to be challenged and inspired to explore things through a less colonial lens, do give this a read.

Related to my work on pathologizing Orpheus’s sexuality: It’s been disturbing to be going through so many university websites in recent months & noticing how many still do similar work of pathologizing LGBTQ+ students and resources
My article “Depathologizing the Bisexual Orpheus” is out in Helios!
It’s my first piece specifically on the classical canon, and uses a mix of psychology of sexuality, queer theory, and translation theory to make sense of how scholars have treated Ovid’s Orpheus as bi.
Hit me up for a copy!

When I tell people abt white nationalist classicism some colleagues sometimes say they're skeptical that anybody rly holds such uncritical views of the ancient world. Then a style mag calls "all things Classical" the next "hot trend" (they dont mean counternarratives) www.tatler.com/article/chri...
Do as the Romans do: as Christopher Nolan sets to work adapting The Odyssey, here’s why all things Classical are high society’s next hot trend
First Gladiator II lit up our screens, now a raft of Greek plays are ablaze on the West End. But gone are the days of toga parties: all things ancient are more dazzling than ever

Utterly depressing news. Last night there was a burglary in the museum of Assen in the Netherlands. Several prized ancient Dacian artifacts, including the golden helmet from Cotofenesti, were stolen. These were on loan as part of the Dacia exhibit which had been touring Europe the last few years.

Een van de topstukken is de gouden helm van Cotofenesti. Het stuk is van bijna zuiver goud.

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."

Cleveland's behavior is an unusually visible example of the Faustian bargain many museums make in order to acquire & hold onto looted antiquities. Better to erase historical knowledge than have to give up a treasured possession. hyperallergic.com/760120/when-... 5/5

Some US museums will overlook the dubious origins of acquisitions if it suits their purposes.
