I'm not a great #gamer myself, so my wonderful partner will be doing the button-mashing! That leaves me free to do a running commentary and respond to questions and comments from our audience. Hope to see you all this Sunday! #AncientBluesky #Hades2 #Classicalreception #Greekmyth #Melinoe #Hecate

As we've said, this is such an awesome week for #greekmyth in modern media! We'll of course be covering the soon to be released season 2 of #BloodofZeus, but #Hades2 Early Access just dropped as well! We want to #dig into this game ASAP! #AncientBluesky #Podcast

I am starting to think #Vengeance ended up being my favorite season of the Starz #Spartacus series. What do you think @ecfleming.bsky.social? Sure, #GodsoftheArena introduced us to #Gannicus but this season had him PLUS all the other shenanigans one expects from this show. #AncientBluesky Thoughts?

#Vengeance might be the true sleeper season of the Starz #Spartacus series. It's got a little bit of everything! Be sure to check out our most recent episode with @drchristinah.bsky.social at movieswedig.com or wherever you get your podcasts! #AncientBlueSky #AcademicSky #Podcast #MWDSeason4

As always, you can find the episode at movieswedig.com or wherever you get your podcasts. And if you want to check out the full announcement, be sure to stop by our Insta page! Thanks again for the fun convo @mythsbaby.bsky.social! #AncientBluesky #Podcast #Spartacus #Gladiators #ClassicalReception

Present ears for listening and broach subject! Joined by our special guest, author and host of Let's Talk About Myths, Baby!, Liv Albert @mythsbaby.bsky.social, to break down Gods of the Arena. Hear us discuss this show's hyper-stylized cocktail of blood, sweat and sex! #AncientBluesky #Podcast

#CAMWS2024 was such a great experience this year. Coming in as an independent scholar was a little unnerving, but everyone I met and talked to was wonderful. Here's the pic from my own presentation and celebratory margarita:) #AncientBluesky #Academicsky

It has been a really fun conference! ##CAMWS2024

Sorry for the lack of #CAMWS2024 updates yesterday. Our wayward host @voguearchaeology.bsky.social was busy presenting and hanging out with former guests @drchristinah.bsky.social and @metalclassicist.bsky.social. #AncientBluesky #Academicsky

#CAMWS was my very first academic conference. It was a great experience and I'm really happy to be back after 8 years.

New panel! Women in Roman History. The first paper is two grad students presenting their first CAMWS paper together. Does that bring back memories @voguearchaeology.bsky.social and @ecfleming.bsky.social? #CAMWS2024 #AncientBluesky #Academicsky

Another excellent paper from this panel! So Many Helens: Depictions of Helen in Contemporary Young Adult Fiction, Nava Cohen #CAMWS2024 #AncientBluesky #Academicsky

Also, #hashtags are now a thing on Bluesky? Huzzah! #AncientBluesky #Archaeology #AcademicSky

So so good! Every paper has been a pure delight to listen to. I love my fellow reception nerds! #CAMWS2024 #AncientBluesky

The Reception and Gender panel has been amazing! Any other favorites so far? #CAMWS2024 #AncientBluesky

And so it begins! #CAMWS2024 AncientBluesky

Just landed in St. Louis for CAMWS 2024! Looking forward to some awesome talks and catching up with friends! AncientBluesky

Also up for best/worst couple is Lucretia and Batiatus played by the amazing Lucy Lawless and John Hannah. Not the pairing I was expecting to see! AncientBluesky Academicsky Archaeology Podcast

Believe it or not, Spartacus likes to bill itself as a "Historical action-drama ROMANCE" Not sure if we fully agree, but we do ship Barca and Pietros:) Listen to the latest episode w/ @belovedofoizys.bsky.social at movieswedig.com or wherever you get your podcasts. AncientBluesky Academicsky

So, the EuGeStA Gender Studies and Classical Scholarship project, which I've done a bit with, is now online and ready to go. It aims to offer a central hub for scholarship on feminist thought within the discipline of classics, to capture history and to look to where we go now. ClassicsBlueSky

This film was definitely not written with a middle school audience in mind lol.

Boy is it a trip to rewatch the original Percy Jackson film! Son of Ares, you really need to check your spelling...

This article in the Atlantic www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch... summed up a lot of mine and Laura's feelings about the series. We even pointed to Bluey as the example of how to write for young and older audiences simultaneously! Be sure to check out the latest minisode! AncientBluesky 🏺 Podcast 🎙️

I mean, Maximus and Juba reuniting (in the afterlife?) was not the promise that immediately came to my mind. #AncientBluesky #Archaeology #Podcast

Gotta love these click-bait headlines from Screen Rant. If Livia couldn't restore the Republic, no one else stood a chance (watch Domina for reference). How are you all feeling about the Gladiator sequel? #AncientBluesky #Archaeology #Academicsky #Podcast

You all thought I missed this benchmark, but behold! The coveted 666 followers! Honestly, that is the most I have ever had on any platform.

I think my favorite part about covering the Percy Jackson series has been getting to talk to and catch up with a lot of former students! If you had to assign a Greek mythological figure to each social media app, what would your picks be? AncientBluesky 🏺 Archaeology ⛏️ AcademicSky 📖 Podcast 🎙️

ClassicsBlueSky AncientBlueSky if you're into Greek Mythology, might I suggest considering the upcoming zine Sing, O Muse! 17 artists are featured and will be illustrating a selection of the Homeric Hymns. I'll be doing Hymn V, to Aphrodite, and there are plenty of amazing artists participating.

I love when our conversations can go deep like this and having @belovedofoizys.bsky.social on is always a delight! We may not have needed an origin story for President Snow, but the themes in this film are both timeless and timely. Be sure to check it out! AncientBluesky🏺 Academicsky📖 Archaeology⛏️
