Want to understand Dionysus? Look no further than @Harry_Styles. A god of sexuality, music, drama, fruit, and wine, Dionysus rejected the ideas of gendered clothing, and defined sexuality. Can't figure him out? #HarryStyles can help. #classicalreception thequeerclassicist.com/post/harry-sty…

So excited I can finally share this! I admire everything @WorkClassicists stands for, so was thrilled to contribute a section on Callisto - one of my great loves of mythology. Can't wait to see it in print, and read all of the other incredible contributions!

@aspencerhall This sounds unbelievably cool! Can't wait to read it, congratulations!

As the daughter of a father, and the sister of two brothers, I wish our @England team the best of luck in tonight’s men’s #Euros! You’re showing little boys everywhere that there’s nothing they can’t do 💛⭐️

@duxfeminafacti9 I would definitely be interested in applying!

I proposed an organizer-refereed panel on Classics and Taylor Swift for SCS 2026 and it got rejected. I want to do a panel like that somewhere, but maybe people aren’t as interested as I hoped. Would you be interested in applying or attending a Taylor Swift and Classics panel?

So….   THIS HAPPENED.   This book has been YEARS in the making. It’s the book that inspired me to start @AncientHistFan. It’s the book that carried me through so many hard times, and been my complete obsession in good ones too. I just hope the world loves it as much as I do.

@BelovedOfOizys Congrats!!! Your panel sounds SO interesting!

@katharinaost @sarah_krienen Amazing, thank you!

any german speaking ancient historians / classicists, please help! i'm translating Merkelbach's Die Hirten des Dionysos and keep getting stuck on his use of 'Hören' as a noun alongside 'Nymphen' and 'Bakchen' - is there a translation I'm not getting here?
