At the request of one of my followers I created a Substack 🤎 The first post goes into an interesting topic based off of this 6th century Patera found in Lampsacus, Turkey. My notes are included at the bottom that touches more on the Amazons, truth vs fiction/historical misinformation, and the story behind the character Wonder Woman.

Hope you guys find it interesting! Subscribe & share
