The excellent new issue of Literary Review contains my review of Christopher Nolan's #Odyssey. I liked it more than Emily Wilson did (but is it possible to like it any less?)

'The #Odyssey, after some 156,000 years of trying, finally achieved the Paperback Non-fiction No. 1, and the blind poet also notched his inaugural appearance in the top 50. No doubt they will be celebrating with oceans of kykeon in Ithaka this week' – @thebookseller Excellent

'There was no such thing as "Periclean" #Greece, Athens, or democracy' – this is an interesting read by Paul Cartledge, whose new biography of #Pericles is published today (I read the book earlier in the summer and I recommend it highly)
