🏺Season 6 Episode 2 is here! It was a pleasure to talk to author & classicist @MeaganClevelan8 about her YA novel Riddles of the Sphinx - a retelling of the Oedipus Cycle from the perspective of the often overlooked Ismene (move over Antigone). Listen: https://t.co/lMk1hFosKT

New video and its my first mini essay! That’s right, the time has come to ask the big questions… why rid Disney’s Hercules do away with the evil stepmother (especially when the material is RIGHT THERE - sorry Hera)? Let’s discuss: https://t.co/nrWIvzYm2Q

Roehampton management are planning to close the classics department & make over 200 staff redundant over arts and humanities this year. This is terrifying for us but also the wider state of access to these subjects for working class students! Please help:
