If you’ve been thinking about joining us for Athena today, there’s still time to register. We’re going beyond the usual Athena of wisdom and warfare and looking at some of the stranger parts of her story: her relationship with owls and snakes, the earth-born child Erichthonius whom she raises, the snake-legged Giants she battles, her contest with Poseidon for Athens, and the complicated story of Metis and Athena’s birth from the head of Zeus.
Today, August 22 | 12–2 PM EDT
And if you can’t make it live, the full recording will be available afterward.
All of our previous goddess workshops are available as workshop replays, so if there’s one you missed, or one you’ve been meaning to go back to, you can find the recordings and watch them anytime here:
I’m just finishing up my field notes from Agia Roumeli, Crete, (this ‘short piece’ totally got away from me!) and the site traditionally identified as a Temple of Apollo, but which the evidence suggests may actually have been connected with Artemis.
I visited the site a few days ago, and I’ve been going through my photographs, notes, and primary source. I’ll be finishing all of that today!
Paid members will get the full field notes in their inbox tomorrow.
Thank you so much to all of you who subscribe, follow, take my courses, come to the workshops, buy my books, or support this work through memberships here or on YouTube and other Social Media platforms. Every single one of those things directly funds the work I’m doing, including my research travels to ancient temples and archaeological sites. It really does make this work possible.
At a time when ancient history and Classical Studies programs are disappearing and funding for this kind of research is becoming harder to find, your support means more to me than ever. I’m able to keep researching, filming, documenting these sites, and sharing what I find because you continue to show up for this work.
I am forever grateful for that. Thank you.
