@adamhtroe Honestly, do we stan any of the gods?

[DU Classical Society @DUClassical]

Cancelling plans is okay. Tricking your father into puking up your siblings is okay. Making yourself king of the gods is okay. Marrying your sister is okay. Turning into an animal to seduce ... actually that's NOT okay, nothing Zeus did was okay

[DU Classical Society @DUClassical]

@DUArchSoc I understand, it's just the way that "nearly" is specified - I know what they mean, it just makes for a funny headline without context!

(We love Fun Facts with Arch Soc)

[Archaeology Magazine @archaeologymag]

A cave near the Greco-Roman city of Hierapolis in Turkey emits poisonous gases and was thought in antiquity to be an entrance to Hades. Archaeologists found a column nearby bearing a dedication to the god of the underworld and his wife Persephone. #FBF

BoJo reciting the first few lines of the Iliad is literally one of the LEAST impressive thing I’ve ever seen someone with a classics degree do

A ceramic Messapian jar with handles... And there’s our ubiquitous ‘wheel’ symbol once again. This time in southern Italy, 400 BC. ⁦@AshmoleanMuseum⁩ #archaeology #ceramics #classics #symbolism

Great Open Day with lots of interest in all our degree programmes. If you want to know more about us do come and talk to staff and students at our stand in the Dining Hall. Especial thanks to our wonderful students who are helping today!

Come and talk to us! It's been rumoured that Michael McNulty, our resident philosopher himself is going to make an appearance!

[TCDClassics @TCDClassics]

We are looking forward to meeting prospective students today - if Classics, Classical Studies or Ancient History & Archaeology interest you come and visit us. We have a stand in the Dining Room and a talk at 10.50 in the Emmet theatre. #TrinityOpenDay

Gonna tell Ixion that this was Hera

[DU Classical Society @DUClassical]

I haven't read this one, but I've heard really good things about it. A feminist retelling of the Iliad that focuses on Briseis? We love to see it
