I read this with @ancientworldbc, and I’m so glad I did - I ended up researching a lot more about Plato and Socrates so I could participate in the discussion, and really got to delve in and enjoy some of Socrates’ philosophical arguments - a really fun intro to Plato overall!
this month we’re heading to the ancient athenian law courts! plato’s apology is record of socrates’ defence speech given at his trial in 399bc & the stakes couldn’t be higher: socrates faces execution if prosecuted 👀 join the reading group here: app.thestorygraph.com/readalongs/c82…
thank you so much to @IoannaP_Author for answering our questions about winter harvest! it was so brilliant to hear your insights & thank you for writing such a great book with a complex demeter we so rarely get to see!! here's the q&a if you missed it: app.thestorygraph.com/readalongs/de9…

never complaining about the cost of books again 😳 (but a great reminder to buy directly from indie presses and indie bookshops!!)

starting my notes for next month’s book club! in may we’ll read plato’s apology (aka the apologia/the defence of socrates) it’s a lot shorter than other texts we’ve read so far but FULL of fascinating things to talk about! i’ll post translation recs in the next few days 💛
this month we're reading @IoannaP_Author's dark, powerful, emotional retelling of the story of demeter 💛 she'll be joining us to chat about her novel next saturday (27th april) so get reading + get your questions in before then!! ✨ reading group: app.thestorygraph.com/readalongs/de9…
sappho in ancient athenian vases! 💖 1: sappho (right) + alcaeus (left), both playing lyres 2: sappho playing her lyre 3: sappho (centre), seated and reading/singing from a scroll. surrounded by 3 woman, 1 holding a lyre (right), and 1 about to crown sappho w/ a wreath (right)!
march's ancient world book club is all about SAPPHO! we're doing a thematic read of some of her major extant poems and fragments 💖 join the reading group + discussion forums here: app.thestorygraph.com/readalongs/4e0…
