Welcome back to another academic year over here at Peopling the Past! In our first #PeoplingBlog of the season, Kevin Wong examines the history of online gaming in a bid to trace the cultural & commercial uptake of “epic” as an ideology for digital entertainment: peoplingthepast.com/2026/09/18/b...

An intriguing read on the role of the island of Scheria and the Phaeacians in the Odyssey. The author sees it as farewell to a vanishing world order, the Bronze Age, that Odysseus and the Greeks are leaving behind. Interestingly, Nolan omits this episode from his film. anetoday.org/odyssey-sche...

Why Odysseus Had to Go to Scheria —Memories, Flashbacks, and the End of the Bronze Age - The Ancient Near East Today

As the main setting for a large part of The Odyssey, Scheria is not meant to be understood as just another stop on Odysseus’s wanderings, but as a deliberate flashback to a vanished world.

Fiery-throated Hummingbird, Paraiso Quetzal Lodge #CostaRica #birds #nature #hummingbirds 🌿

Extreme close-up of a tiny bird with dazzling iridescent plumage that transitions from deep blue on its crown to golden-green on its neck and turquoise on its body. Droplets of water cling to its feathers, highlighting the delicate texture of each scale-like feather. Its sharp black bill and bright, alert eye give it an attentive expression against a soft, dreamy background of pastel greens and golds.
