Maria Tudela

greeted us with “hello, classicists”

politely requested that we not traumadump in her email inbox

brought up clytemnestra 3 separate times, unprompted, during the first 20 minutes. invited us all to her office to look at the full-length clytemnestra painting on her wall

as a rule, addresses students by “mr/ms/mx lastname” (it is difficult to bear this with a straight face given that she is likely to follow this up with excited swearing)

speaks of the tragedians with a fond exasperation like she knew them personally

refers to undergrads, affectionately, as “creatures”

went on a passionate diatribe about how pronunciation is stupid because these languages are long dead, thus we are not allowed to correct each other unless ☝️ someone pronounces odysseus as “osyddeus” (this one seemed like it was from personal experience)

“i won't respond to emails after 5pm—” (reasonable) “—because i like to go to bed at 7—” (wait what) “—and i'll usually wake up around 3” (WHAT THE FUCK)
