Adventure, homecoming, temptation, resilience and the search for belonging. 'The Odyssey' has endured for thousands of years because it’s built on a timeless storytelling structure. Explore how reading Homer can feel surprisingly modern🔗 cup.org/4yORsAF @classicalassociation.org #TheOdyssey
Quote about reading Homer, highlighting the familiar yet alien nature of mythological stories. Attributed to Professor Greta Hawes, Joint Commissioning Editor of 'The Classical Review.' Image includes a headshot of Professor Hawes over a background with a statue.A quote discussing the accessibility of classics is shown. The text reads: "The classics cast a light on age-old problems. Once you’ve accessed them through reading or listening to these stories, watching a play or a movie, or visiting an ancient site, they can help you dig deeper into your own emotions and experiences.” Below the quote, it states: "Katrina Kelly, Engagement Director, The Classical Association." To the right, Katrina Kelly wearing glasses and a patterned top, smiling at the camera.

Delighted to be the contrarian here, insisting that Homer's monstrous locations are just fantasy. Also, some early hints at where my IHS-AAIA fellowship on Ithacan storytelling is going to take me later this year. www.nzz.ch/wissenschaft...

Geografie der Odyssee: Warum die Suche nach den wahren Schauplätzen sinnlos ist
Das grundsätzliche Problem bei der Suche ist: Die Odyssee ist Fiktion. Daran ändert sich auch nichts, wenn ein Ort zufällig ungefähr zur Beschreibung im Epos passt.

The Greeks didn’t locate their deep past in far-off fantasy lands. These stories happened in places all around them.

MANTO ist eine LOD-Ressource, die sowohl die Interaktionen von Menschen, Orten und Objekten innerhalb der griechischen Mythologie als auch die Auswirkungen dieser mythischen Wesen auf die historische Landschaft des Mittelmeerraums modelliert. Die Daten basieren vollständig auf Aussagen aus antiken Quellen. In diesem Artikel stellen wir die Ziele und Erfolge dieses Projekts vor. Wir beschreiben die grundlegende Ontologie und die Methoden der Datenerhebung, einige Möglichkeiten, wie die resultierenden Daten abgefragt und visualisiert werden können, sowie die Beziehungen zu anderen digitalen Projekten im Bereich der Altertumswissenschaften. Außerdem stellen wir eine Fallstudie zur Verwendung der Daten bei der Visualisierung der Lage und Bewegung mythischer Relikte vor, die von Pausanias beschrieben wurden.

for the numismatically inclined, this term's ACANS Numismatics talks, including one by yours truly aimed at teachers in high school classrooms teaching Agrippina the Younger. Times are given in Australian time, but recordings of the series are also available at www.youtube.com/@ACANSMQ/vid...
On August 29 at 6.00pm AEST, Dr. Andrew Burnett (Royal Numismatic Society) asks why the region of Lycia in south-western Asia Minor abandoned its local coinage for the imperial currency system of the western Roman Empire. 

On September 23 at 6:00 PM AEST, Dr. Clare Rowan (University of Warwick) will deliver a lecture for students and teachers studying Agrippina the Younger at high school (though all are warmly invited to attend). 

On October 23 at 6.00pm AEDT, Dr. Sam Moorhead will discuss the imperial coinage minted for Carausius and Allectus, two breakaway emperors in Roman Britain. 

On November 21 at 6:00 PM AEDT, Dr. Philippa Walton (University of Leicester) will discuss a remarkable assemblage of 1,444 Roman coins recovered over three decades by two divers from the River Tees at Piercebridge, northern England. 

Feel free to share the program attached with students or colleagues interested in the study of ancient coins: students, researchers, curators and collectors are welcome and encouraged to join NUMISMA. A selection of past lectures can be viewed on our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@ACANSMQ/videos). We look forward to seeing you on August 29.
