Ismene is not in the mood for a therapy session: “I do not wish to experience pain twice, suffering it and then speaking about it again” δὶς γὰρ οὐχὶ βούλομαι πονοῦσά τ’ ἀλγεῖν καὶ λέγουσ’ αὖθις πάλιν (Oedipus at Colonus 363-64).

NEW EPISODE
It was a pleasure and honor and really just so much fun to talk to @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social about her Iliad.
