I found this in Frejman (2023) but he opens the article talking about how the minutiae ritual purification are under researched.

According to Liddell and Scott, it’s Homeric but incredibly infrequent.

Very excited for this @classicsforall.bsky.social CPD about running trips. With both my teacher and network co-ordinator hat on, I know how difficult it can be to run trips and can't wait to get some tips to make them even better.

What kind of classical reception fanatic would I be without mentioning @nataliehaynes.bsky.social? In a disclipline that is saturated with Medusa analysis, 'Stone Blind' manages to weave together both the monsterous and the tragic to create the fullest figure of our favourite Gorgon.

The cover of 'Stone Blind' by Natalie Hayes. A dark blue background, with Medusa's head as a gold line drawing and the book's title and author's name in a contrasting light blue.

I first discovered @jeansthoughts.bsky.social on YouTube and really admire her as the academic I want to be - classicist, author and all around good person. 'All The Violet Tiaras' is a lovely work on how LGBTQ+ writers are retelling myth while layering in the complexity of ancient sexuality.

The cover of 'All The Violet Tiaras' by Jean Menzies. A pale beige background with a white line drawing of a bust. The bust is crowned with a tiara of purple flowers.

The classics extend beyond Greece and Rome, so next we have 'Oh Maya Gods!' by @mazevansauthor.bsky.social. I learned about the Aztecs and the Mayans at school before the Greeks and Romans, so their myths will always be nostalgic, and Maz brings them to life in a hilarious retelling for all ages.

One for the #manga fans. テルマエ・ロマエ is a time travel story about a Roman architect who finds himself able to travel to modern Japan. There, he discovers bath houses and runs with the idea. It's a consideration of how two seemingly disparate cultures can have the same idea.
