Oh, that'll teach me to try to finish paired posts simultaneously. 😂
"Multitask!" they say. #Lies
But! My Patron-only post is finally up, granting anyone who supports me at any tier, from $1 up, a fuller run-down of the Thucydides-in-space novel I'm currently drafting.
In the process, there's also lots here... on writerly process!
Which is where this pairs nicely with the newsletter that should be up... next. 🙃

A kindred spirit! Thus far I've only known a few folks who've read the funeral oration and Melian dialogue as standalone texts. But oh, it's just wonderfully rich, insightful work when read in full, no? So many key details about life in another era - and also, about how little human behaviour, in politics as in war, has changed in all that time.
@MLClark Yes! And to see the development of the historian, beyond Herodotus as reporter. It's a text to which i hope to return.
