OVER DEZE AFLEVERING

Our friend Amy Pistone returns to the podcast to educate us on drinking habits in Ancient Greece. During this episode, we'll hear about the current climate in higher education and discuss the uncertainty professors have. We will also cover what would go down at a symposium and how people in Antiquity knew how to play drinking games. And, if that weren't enough, we answer a question that has stumped scholars for centuries - was Odysseus a woo girl, or did he just keep it real? Listen and find out.
Your reading assignments include Glorious Exploits and Sarah Bond's Strike. Given the number of times that Strike has been suggested as a book to read, isn't it time for Dr. Bond to come on the podcast? I think so.
The theme music is from Brent Arehart. Please call the pod (540-632-0160), leave a message and you’ll get in an episode. Let me know what you think about what we think in the comments, on Bluesky, on Mastodon, on Reddit, or on Instagram.
And never forget that The Classical Antiquity Sidequest is a podcast without end.
