About Kefalonia, Roman baths, and the search for the real Odysseus. The documentary Odysseus Returns premiered on PBS in August of 2024. The description of the film on the PBS website reads as follows: “An amateur historian, Makis Metaxas, claims he found the bones of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey. But the discovery is soon embroiled in controversy, and Makis embarks on his own odyssey to convince the world he is right.” Ismini Miliaresis appears in this documentary, not only as an expert in the field of classical archaeology but also as someone who has a fascinating personal connection to this story. Ismini received a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. After working as an engineer for several years, she returned to school and completed an M.A. and Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology from the University of Virginia. She has published articles about the Stabian Baths of Pompeii and the Forum Baths of Ostia, and she has taught at such institutions as the American University of Rome, the University of Missouri, and the University of Virginia.

Alenative History - Die Geschichte des Antiken Griechenlands
Wir wissen von den prächtigen Palästen der Minoer. Aber wie steht es um das griechische Festland in der frühen und mittleren Bronzezeit aus? Archäologische Entdeckungen der letzten Jahrzehnte stellen uns jedoch vor neue Erkenntnisse, beantworten Unklarheiten und lassen ebenso neue Fragen aufkommen. Gab es bereits soziale Strukturen auf dem Festland und komplexe Siedlungsstrukturen? Wer ist für die Zerstörung einiger dieser Siedlungen verantwortlich? Waren es etwa Invasoren, die diese Zerstörung angerichtet hatten? Und woher stammen die Griechen und Griechinnen überhaupt?

In this episode of Object Matters host Dr Craig Barker is joined by Classics PhD candidate and 2023 Fellow of the Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens Alyce Cannon. They discuss two ancient vases from Athens relevant to Alyce's current doctoral research on dogs in ancient Greece. Using two choes (ancient small, squat wine vessels) in the University of Sydney's collection they discuss how dogs were depicted in Classical Athens, what role dogs had in society and the correlation between a new sense of childhood and relationships with pets in the traumatic era of the end of Classical experiment in Athens following plague and the decades long Peloponnesian War and examine the reasons why dogs may have been depicted on these vessels that symbolise childhood. Guest: Alyce Cannon is undertaking a PhD in the Discipline of Classics and Ancient History under the supervision of Professor Julia Kindt, as a part of the ARC Future Fellowship Project on “The Humanity of Man and the Animal in Ancient Greece”. Alyce's thesis is entitled: “KYNIKA: Thinking With the Dog in Ancient Greece”. She is currently in Athens as the 2023 Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens Fellow.

About Australia, the ramifications of ChatGPT, and the intersection of the Latin language and LEGO® products. Anthony Gibbins teaches Latin and Greek at Sydney Grammar School in Sydney, Australia. He is the creator of Legonium, a popular novella, social media account, and repository of instructional resources, all designed around the intersection of the Latin language and LEGO® products. The description of the Legonium novella reads as follows: "A Latin reader like no other. Legonium is both a town and a tale. It is a town built entirely from LEGO® bricks, and filled with an incredible cast of characters. There is a struggling artist, a bank manager, a police officer, a private detective, plus a suspicious character spotted on the roof of the town bank, and, of course, Pico, the cat. And it is a tale told completely in Latin, with short sentences, a full range of grammatical structures, repetition of vocabulary, hundreds of pictures, and an English translation for reference. There is a police chase, a trip to Pompeii, a talkative parrot, and a mysterious suitcase."

About Detroit, "Ovid and the Art of Love," and the challenges involved in making a movie about an ancient Roman poet. Esmé von Hoffman is the writer and director of the 2020 film “Ovid and the Art of Love.” On its official website, the film is described as follows: “Based on the life of the famous Roman poet Ovid, this fun, classic story full of adventure, romance, and intrigue gets a modern twist. Set in a mash-up world of contemporary Detroit complete with togas, sneakers, hip-hop, oration, and poetry slams and filmed amidst the Motor City's classical ruins, graffiti, and burgeoning art scene, ‘Ovid and the Art of Love' is cinematically beautiful, engaging, and uncannily relevant." “Ovid and the Art of Love” was an official selection of the 2019 Festival of Cinema NYC, a film festival at which Esmé received the award for Best Director. In addition to her critically-acclaimed work on “Ovid and the Art of Love,” Esmé has written and produced documentary films, written journalistic articles, and worked as a film editor.

About declamation, IB Latin, and the benefits and challenges of having a four-year Latin requirement. Founded in 2006 and modeled after the Boston Latin School, The Brooklyn Latin School (TBLS) is one of nine specialized high schools in the New York City public school system. With an emphasis on public speaking, structured writing, analytical thinking, and Socratic seminars, TBLS requires all of its discipuli – and yes, they're referred to as discipuli, not as students – to complete a full four-year Latin program. The discipuli of TBLS wear uniforms whose purple accents “reflect the color worn by Roman nobility,” and the school's motto is reflective of the high expectations to which its discipuli are held: CUI MULTUM SIT DATUM, MULTUM AB EO POSTULABITUR (“To whom much has been given, much from him will be demanded”). According to data collected and analyzed by U.S. News and World Report, The Brooklyn Latin School is among the top one hundred public high schools in America. Jennifer Snyder serves as Chair of the Department of Classics at TBLS. Jennifer earned a B.A. in Classics from Smith College and an M.A. in Classics from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and she has been teaching at TBLS since 2011. The Brooklyn Latin School CORRECTION: A listener in Boston pointed out that the Boston Latin School still requires four years of Latin.

In this episode of "Keen On", Andrew is joined by Edward J. Watts, the author of "The Eternal Decline and Fall of Rome: The History of a Dangerous Idea", to tell the stories of the people who built their political and literary careers around promises of Roman renewal, as well as those of the victims they blamed for causing Rome's decline. Professor Watts received his PhD in History from Yale University in 2002. His research interests center on the intellectual and religious history of the Roman Empire and the early Byzantine Empire. His first book, City and School in Late Antique Athens and Alexandria (University of California Press, 2006), explains how the increasingly Christian upper class of the late antique world used a combination of economic and political pressures to neutralize pagan elements of the traditional educational system. City and School received the Outstanding Publication Award from the Classical Association of the Middle West and South in 2007. His second book, Riot in Alexandria: Historical Debate in Pagan and Christian Communities (University of California Press, 2010), uses Greek, Latin, Coptic, and Syriac sources to reconstruct an Alexandrian riot that erupted in 486 AD. Riot received a 2010 PROSE Award Honorable Mention in Classics and Ancient History. His third book, The Final Pagan Generation (University of California Press, 2015) offers a generational history of the men born in the 310s that traces the experience of living through the fourth century's dramatic religious and political changes. It was awarded the 2015 Phi Alpha Theta Best Subsequent Book Prize. His fourth book, Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher (Oxford University Press, 2017) recounts the life of an important female philosopher whose work redefined philosophy and whose death resonated as a symbol of dramatic religious and social change in the early fifth century. He is also the author of Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell into Tyranny (Basic Books, 2018). In addition to these five books, he has co-edited five other volumes (From the Theodosians to the Tetrarchs [Cambridge, 2010]; Shifting Cultural Frontiers in Late Antiquity [Ashgate, 2012]; Freedom of Speech and Self Censorship in Late Antiquity [a special issue of the Revue Belge published in 2014]; Late Antique Letter Collections: A Critical Introduction and Reference Guide [University of California Press, 2016], and the Blackwell Companion to Late Antique Literature [Wiley-Blackwell, forthcoming]. He has also authored more than 40 articles on topics ranging from the Old Academy in the fourth century BC to the relationship between orality and textuality in the early Byzantine period. He is currently preparing a monograph tracing the Romanization and de-Romanization of the Mediterranean world between 96 and 850 AD (The Rise and Fall of the Roman Nation, [Oxford University Press, forthcoming]) and is co-authoring a volume introducing the historical and classroom uses of Roman imperial coins. Before coming to UCSD in 2012, Professor Watts taught for ten years at Indiana University. Professor Watts teaches courses on Byzantine History, Roman History, Late Antique Christianity and paganism, Roman numismatics, and the history of the Medieval Mediterranean. Dr. Watts was the director of the Center for Hellenic Studies from 2014-2016. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Lindsey Davis is best known for her series of historical crime stories about a laid-back amateur sleuth called Marcus Didius Falco. Set against the turmoil of the 1st-century Roman Empire, the books are witty, gritty and hugely entertaining. She's also written stand-alone novels about Ancient Rome, and about the English Civil War. The recipient of many awards, including the Crime Writers' Association Diamond Dagger for Lifetime Achievement, Lindsey writes a book a year, but has still found time to be the Chair of the Society of Authors and Honorary President of the Classical Association. Lindsey talks to Michael Berkeley about her introduction to music as a schoolgirl in Birmingham, her passion for symphonic music and her decision to introduce a new, feisty female protagonist to succeed her beloved Falco. Her music includes works by Schubert, Tchaikovsky and Dvorak and - appropriately - Berlioz's Roman Carnival Overture. Producer: Jane Greenwood A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3.
Lindsey Davis was born and raised in Birmingham, read English at Oxford, then joined the civil service, which she left in 1985.She started writing about Romans in The Course of Honour, the remarkable true love story of the Emperor Vespasian and his mistress Antonia Caenis. Her research into First Century Rome inspired The Silver Pigs, the first outing for Falco and Helena, which was published in 1989. Starting as a spoof using a Roman ‘informer' as a classic, metropolitan private eye, the series has developed into a set of adventures in various styles which take place throughout the Roman world. The Silver Pigs won the Authors' Club Best First Novel award in 1989; she has since won the Crimewriters' Association Dagger in the Library and Ellis Peters Historical Dagger, while Falco has won the Sherlock Award for Best Comic Detective. She has been Chair of the UK Crimewriters' Association and Honorary President of the Classical Association. Her Official Website is www.lindseydavis.co.uk. We met at the Blue Met International Literary Festival in Montreal, and talked, among other things, about the historical mystery genre, Ellis Peters, Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone, foreshadowing, the treatment of women, killing characters off, good men, favourite plots and authors, and lessons that can be learned from the Romans,
