there are certain friends who come to visit and always borrow some books from the library of jacky and the feeling of taking their vibe and pulling some book recs out and then those books being a HIT is better than any high

sometimes I’ll be minding my own business and I’ll remember that in year 8 (13/14yo) our dance teacher had us pairing with boys to do CHAIROGRAPHY to christina aguilera’s candyman and am I clutching pearls a bit or is that an insanely weird thing to do to awkward hormonal teenagers

one more thing I think is important to mention is that I almost panicked and cancelled this briefly bc I thought “oh I’m not qualified for this what if people think I don’t belong here” then realised… that’s the whole point of the book!

no sorry I’ve out baby-brained myself by going for the half hour round trip walk to the coop for the sole purpose of getting myself an easy cook dinner, got home and went to put said dinner in the fridge and realised I’d left the items in the basket area. so guess who’s getting a takeaway instead

my grandad had a SNES and introduced my siblings and I to games and bought us one of our own, my mum loved Tetris on the OG game boy and watching my brother play horror games (the thing, resident evil) and even my dad who was Scottish found the Scottish accent on the worms game hilaaarious

my copy of the periodic table of Greek mythology arrived and I wanted to say something real quick @miri.bsky.social @misterconnor1.bsky.social @workingclassicists.bsky.social @contubernales.bsky.social
A picture of The Periodic Table of Greek Mythology book stood up with a background bust of Apollo and ancient history inspired art Note app text that reads: I cannot stress enough how little I knew about Classics only 5 years ago. I picked up The Song of Achilles around the same time I played Hades and the characters were so beautiful and rich and alive that I started googling, buying books, devouring any scrap of Greek mythology that I could. 

I couldn’t believe there was this whole world I had known nothing about when it permeated so much of how we exist today.  Growing up in a deprived area, going to a state school, I’d never come across a whisper of it. It had been decided that it wasn’t for me. It was knowledge sequestered for the privileged few. 

I felt stupid. I felt robbed. I felt angry. 

In my ravenous hunger for more information, stories, history, I came across Working Classicists on Twitter. They championed exactly the issue I’d encountered: access. They providedNote app text that reads: resources, opportunity, platform without barriers - for everyone.  

I felt community. I felt valued. I felt seen. 

I couldn’t believe it when I discovered the wonderful humans who ran it lived locally. Something else having access to Classics gave me: personal, joyous and lasting friendships with Miri & George (& Posca!). 

I’ve never known two people work so hard and give so much of themselves to something they believe in. It was an unexpected boon to be given the opportunity to publish a book from Contubernales, but what Miri & George did with it is nothing short of miraculous. 

Based on a teaching tool of George’s, The Periodic Table of Greek Mythology is a compendium of gods, monsters and mortals from 117 writers - all guided,Note app text that reads: personally fedback and edited by Miri. Nowhere else in the field of Classics will you find a book with the diversity of background and lived experience as this one, namely with 80% from a working classic background. 

I first came across Medea in Roger Lancelyn Green’s Tales of the Greek Heroes as “the witch-maiden” and instantly fell in love. Working Classicists gave me the opportunity to have my own words about Medea in a book, that might ignite that same love in someone else. You can’t fathom what that means to me, and every individual writer who got to contribute, many being published for the first time. 

All proceeds go directly into Working Classicists projects to continue their mission of access to Classics, bringing the subject to state schools, and empowering marginalised voices in the field.
