Classicist at Miami U | Late antiquity & reception in Metal | he/him | “Julian Augustus: Platonism, Myth & the Rounding of Rome" under contract with @OxUniPresstinyurl.com/SwistCV Oxford, OHJoined November 2016
The conference is over. At last I can shift focus and unplug.
Effective immediately I am putting myself on hiatus from all social media for the next couple months. I’m on Messenger, WhatsApp, and email if you want to reach me.
Wide awake but damn happy because the conference I’m attending, Heavy Metal &Global Premodernity II HAS BLOWN MY MIND AND I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😈😈😈🤘😈😈 many thanks @MetalClassicist and others for sharing presentations and all round awesomeness 🥰🤘🤘
Day 3 of Heavy Metal & Global Premodernity kicks off in an hour! We have two panels on paganism & medievalism on either side of a keynote lecture & performance by Dr. Fulya Çelikel Soğancı & her band Listana, performing music inspired by Byzantine empresses!
Day 2 of the conference is in the books. All in all, I’d say it went 99% well today, meaning the 1% that didn’t go well is going to weigh heavily on me for a while, though it probably should.
Day 2 of HMGP2 kicks off at 9am EDT/1pm GMT today.
Today includes our MULTI-LINGUAL SOCIAL HOUR at 11:15am EDT/3:15pm GMT, for attendees to converse in their own language. We’ll have breakout rooms for Spanish, Turkish, German, Italian, Portuguese, French, Greek, & Czech.
Today! I spoke with @artemisexpert about, unsurprisingly, Artemis. We talk Brauron, little bears, and more real world Artemesian and goddess worship. And some inspiration for my recent parthenogenesis episode! Listen: linktr.ee/mythsbaby
Day 1 of Heavy Metal Global Premodernity II is in the books. Fantastic turnout, presentations, and discussions today with no significant technical difficulties. Excited for two more days of this.
Yes it's funny to joke today about a guy getting stabbed 2000 years ago.
But over 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in the ongoing genocide led by Israel in Gaza. And that's brutal, horrific and something we cannot tolerate.
No joke there I'm afraid.

Please could any kind classicist, such as @antmoose@WittsPat@p_historians@chapps , confirm the colour of mourning for ancient Greek funerals? Am I right that it's white, and also that it's a jolly yellow for weddings...?
If you can help, I would be so grateful, thank you...
In chapter 3 of our new book 📖 🖊️
Vicky Jewell examines #polychromy in temples of #Mithras, drawing attention to how colours are perceived by ancient writers and how this has contributed to a haptic visual experience of Mithraic ritual spaces!
