Who’s your favourite character in the Iliad? Many fans of Hector here. I can’t resist Achilles, but as one pupil said “Achilles is like Ronaldo. He thinks he’s bigger than the team he plays for.” So true. #classics

Lovely to see some best practice in T&L being showcased from the Department. #teaching

Statue of Hercules found hiding in a sewer! theguardian.com/world/2023/jan…

Rather pleased with how my GCSE revision-aid reworkings of the metopes from the Temple of Zeus at Olympia turned out! The metopes of Heracles are still clear, but I’ve added detail of the Labours stories. (My Patreons get the non-potato version!)

One to watch out for, Ancient History GCSErs!

Any ideas on where to purchase a really good big map of the ancient world Mediterranean area?

My shop is back open for the summer! If you’re a Classicist, mythology enthusiast, or just like unique and interesting jewellery then I might have something for you. Everything is handmade by me & sales help fund my research as PGR student #ClassicsTwitter ko-fi.com/agameganon/shop
