I love this thing so much. Experimental archaeology is such a cool field!

So was anyone gonna tell me the Greek navy still has a fully functional trireme?

Her name is Olympias! She was built in 1987 and can sail up to 17 knots (30 km) per hour!

Olympias weighs 47 tonnes, but is remarkably agile, able to make a 180 degree turn within one minute. Everything but the bracing ropes was constructed of the same materials as in ancient Greece. (They used steel instead of hemp rope for cost reasons.)

Experiments with Olympias have helped us understand the capabilities of warships from ancient Greek and Roman times. Triremes like her were built for speed, maneuverability, and aggressive ramming. (Her beak alone weighs 200 kg.) It appears that many of the seamanship feats described by Thucydides were indeed possible!

Olympias is now an exhibit at Naval Tradition Park in Palaio Faliro, Athens, Greece. She's usually dry docked these days, but I've found a couple videos of her at sea!

A couple, specifically for ancient gayness.

1.) Greek Homosexuality by Sir Kenneth Dover. THE book on Greek homosexuality, it very much set the tone of the conversation. It’s definitely aging, but it’s still a vital piece of scholarship that everyone talking about the topic cites, whether to agree or disagree.

2.) Roman Homosexuality: Ideologies of Masculinity in Classical Antiquity by Craig Williams. A masterful monograph on homosexuality and masculinity in Ancient Rome, strongly recommended.

3.) Homosexuality in Greece and Rome: A Sourcebook of Basic Documents, edited by Thomas K. Hubbard. A great source for primary sources from Greece and Rome about homosexuality, all collected nice in a single volume.

4.) If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho, translated by Anne Carson. I couldn’t leave off a rec list about ancient queerness without including the best translation of what we have of Sappho. Carson’s translation does lack one poem we have found since the book was published, the Brother’s Poem, which is a near completely intact poem of Sappho, which was found on a papyrus in Egypt in 2014. But it is otherwise complete, contains the Greek as well as the English, and is a beautiful translation of Sappho.

A little advice from someone studying extremist groups: if you’re in a social media environment where the daily ubiquitous message is that you have no hope of any kind of future and you can’t possibly achieve anything without a violent overthrow of society, you’re being radicalized, and not in the good way.
