This is brutal and dispiriting but also more of the same as humanities programs close under sustained attack.
Of course I think we need to work harder to bring our field to the public, to build the kind of support which sustains public funding of our fields as research fields.

This fresco shows Omphale seated on a ledge above Hercules with her attendants while the inebriated Hercules lays on the floor below. Erotes make their own fun around the group including three playing with Hercules’ club. This fresco is held by the MAN Napoli (inv. no. 9000) and was found in the so-called House of the Prince of Montenegro, Pompeii.
✨Hercules and Omphale✨
To atone for the murder of the Argonaut Iphitus, Hercules is required to spend a year in servitude under the Lydian princess Omphale.
