🚨HOMER ALERT 🚨 a copy of a section from The Iliad has been identified as the text in a papyrus placed on the abdomen of a mummified person, excavated last year, as part of the embalming ritual. Pride of place, not stuffed inside a cavity like previously found texts, and the first piece of Literature found on a mummy and in a funerary context.

And guess which bit it is?

THE CATALOGUE OF SHIPS 😂😂😂😂

(Well, we all knew those pages had to be *someone’s* favourite bit 😉)

BRB, off to shoehorn this into a lesson…

One of my books coming up is gonna have me painting SO MANY BACKGROUNDS.

I'm trying to get ahead of the curve and strengthen those muscles before it becomes the only thing I can afford to think about.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you see one on the street,

For decorum is essential when a lobster you must greet.

You may comment on the weather, compliment his choice of hat,

But crustaceans like their space if one should stop them for a chat.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you’re strolling down the coast,

Simply nod and give a greeting, or a handshake at the most,

For a lobster’s first priority is formal social graces,

And one seemes over-familiar if a lobster one embraces.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you meet one in the sea,

For a lobster’s spines and chitin make it difficult, you see,

And he might become self-conscious if you bring that fact to light,
