It's about books, not baseball--Simonides, not The Simpsons. This is the Homer Hotline, a podcast featuring discussions with scholars of ancient epic and related issues, scheduled to release its first season in 2026.

One auteur, however, hopes that his passion project can add something new to the storied legacy of the character, and now Netflix has given that opportunity to that auteur. I am, of course, referring to Guillermo Del Toro.
Im not in the right area and I don’t have the space but you may be luckier!

What does Herodotus tell us about mad tyrants’ sexual desires and judges’ betrayal of the law? Nothing! Actually it’s all about the moral bankruptcy of liberalism…

In this poem, Horace - perhaps assuming too well the mantle of worldly-wise older poet - gives advice on the importance of 'otium', observing the fact that wealth and power do not bring peace of mind.

Book cover - on a blue background the book title Aristophanes and the Current Moment is reversed out in white; beneath it a black and white photograph of a stage production. A man, looking rather bemused, rides a giant beetle stage prop which is being carried through the air on wires.
Published today! Really pleased to see Aristophanes and the Current Moment in print via @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social. My contribution, 'Aristophanes and the Gendered Politics of Performative Assembly' applies Judith Butler's analysis of public protest to Aristophanes' Lysistrata and Ecclesiazusae.
