In this talk accompanied by cooking I attempt to navigate the politics of the advice these authors give and contrast their approaches. Cooking the books was never so much fun. \n\n\n\n\n \nTuesday 9th February 2021\nProf Dan-el Padilla Peralta (Princeton)\nHomer’s Passage in Postcolonial Hispaniola\n \n\n\n\n\nTuesday 16th February 2021\nDr Shana Zaia (Vienna)\nRoyal Authority in the Neo-Assyrian Empire:  Representations and Realities \n\n\n\n\nTuesday 9th March 2021\nDr Roberta Mazza (Manchester)\nThe Illicit Trade in Papyrus Manuscripts from Egypt: Old and New Tales \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday 11th May 2021\nDr Sarah Derbew(Stanford)\nBlazing Blackness in Greek Antiquity \n\n\n\n\nTuesday 25th May 2021\nDr Amy Coker(Cheltenham Ladies’ College / University of Bristol)\nProstitutes\, Youths and Potty-Mouthed Clowns: Who Swore in Ancient Greek and Why it Matters
