Eigentlich war Frauen der Besuch der Olympischen Spiele im antiken Griechenland verboten. Wie der spartanischen Prinzessin Kyniska dennoch ein olympischer Triumph gelang, darum geht es in einer neuen Ausgabe von „Zeitlupe“. lisa.gerda-henkel-stiftung.de/zeitlupe_ant...

Picture of the ancient stadium of Nemea during the Modern Nemean Games in 2024. It shows the starting line with a reconstruction of an ancient starting mechanism, called Hysplex.

Hello So-and-so, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed ‘Title’. Hope you’re well. Best, You.
Done.
AI/ChatGPT generated picture of a sports historian (categories: male, white, able-bodied) who sits in a study filled with historical sports memorabilia. He is wearing glasses, a white shirt, tie and a dark grey knitted jumper. He gazes intently through a magnifying glass at (or slightly over) an old newspaper lying on a wooden desk. Around him are numerous books, trophies, a basketball, an old tennis racket, a typewriter and framed black and white photographs of athletes on the wall. There is a laptop with a cup sitting on it, so that it seems like he rather uses the typewriter. The light falls through a large window, which illuminates the room.
Try asking #ChatGPT to generate a picture of a 'sports historian'. You’ll probably get one of three results:
1. looks unintentionally funny
2. overload of problematic 'isms' and categorical assumptions
3. both at once.

Are you interested in museums, Roman religion, Hadrian's Wall, sensory approaches or anything like that? The very talented @andrewjroberts.bsky.social just published this brilliant article!

War ein Athlet in Olympia siegreich, winkten ihm zu Hause Ruhm und Prämien. Doch auch die Sieger selbst sorgten dafür, dass ihr Triumph unvergessen blieb – mit Monumenten und Gedichten. Mehr dazu in Episode 2 von "Antike Athleten". Zum Podcast: lisa.gerda-henkel-stiftung.de/zeitlupe_ant...
