hey merc!!! i’m just managing to slide in one of my OCs for Thankful Thursday and i’m honestly so grateful too because that means a little break, a time to be thankful, and some recuperation from the chaos everyone seems to be in for some reason 🫠 so! i wanted to submit a character below! thank you for this! it’ll be nice to see everyone’s characters tomorrow :))

Esther Armstrong was introduced last year, but she’s come a long way from where she’s been living in my mind for the past 3 years and so:

Esther Armstrong is a Bryn-Mawr graduate and a war correspondent with Easy Company alongside her trusted companion and photographer, Mercy Codona. Esther is level-headed, intelligent, and viewed as a leader by many of the men, not only from the way she acts around them, but her actions as a member of Easy Company. (Basically - if you go through shit, she’ll go through it, too.) Esther is usually found hanging around Mercy or Floyd Talbert, in the company of jokes and laughter, especially considering who her two closest friends are. She spends many nights in Aldbourne writing to family or writing up details of the training and her travels, and eventually begins drafting an idea for an autobiography, entitled Stroke of Luck, which documents her time in the war and all the stories from Easy Company during their time together. Her time in the war isn’t easy,but she uses her ability to make meaningful connections, form trust and loyalty with her companions and a ear to ensure the ability to continue forward in a war such as this. Esther can be found in And Then The Dawn Came, along with Mercy and a handful of other OCs!

Thanks for sharing her, Shannon! I hope you have a great holiday and some needed rest, too!

Cecilia Paredes: Unconventional Art Defying Categorization

I saw an exhibit by Peruvian-born artist Cecilia Paredes at Bryn Mawr College last March. Paredes, who currently splits her time between Costa Rica and Philadelphia, combines performance art with photography and painting in a unique way, photographing herself in front of patterned fabric and camouflaging her body with paint to blend chameleon like into the background. The effect is…

[mariacallous]

This is the first biography to tell the fascinating story of Eva Palmer Sikelianos (1874–1952), an American actor, director, composer, and weaver best known for reviving the Delphic Festivals. Yet, as Artemis Leontis reveals, Palmer’s most spectacular performance was her daily revival of ancient Greek life. For almost half a century, dressed in handmade Greek tunics and sandals, she sought to make modern life freer and more beautiful through a creative engagement with the ancients. Along the way, she crossed paths with other seminal modern artists such as Natalie Clifford Barney, Renée Vivien, Isadora Duncan, Susan Glaspell, George Cram Cook, Richard Strauss, Dimitri Mitropoulos, Nikos Kazantzakis, George Seferis, Henry Miller, Paul Robeson, and Ted Shawn.

Brilliant and gorgeous, with floor-length auburn hair, Palmer was a wealthy New York debutante who studied Greek at Bryn Mawr College before turning her back on conventional society to live a lesbian life in Paris. She later followed Raymond Duncan (brother of Isadora) and his wife to Greece and married the Greek poet Angelos Sikelianos in 1907. With single-minded purpose, Palmer re-created ancient art forms, staging Greek tragedy with her own choreography, costumes, and even music. Having exhausted her inheritance, she returned to the United States in 1933, was blacklisted for criticizing American imperialism during the Cold War, and was barred from returning to Greece until just before her death.

Drawing on hundreds of newly discovered letters and featuring many previously unpublished photographs, this biography vividly re-creates the unforgettable story of a remarkable nonconformist whom one contemporary described as “the only ancient Greek I ever knew.”

Sophie Fox-Claremont-Diaz

Sophie’s birthday is February 21st, born in 2024 (for astrology friends she’s a sun-Pisces moon-Leo ascending-Virgo)

She was born three months before Alex graduated from Law School

Alex and her spent a lot of time together as he was preparing for the BAR exam at all hours of the day. 

She is dyslexic 

She is biologically Henry’s and they had an anonymous egg donor 

She is and honors and AP student! mostly taking advanced classes

By the time she is a senior she has become the captain of the debate team!

She plays libero for volleyball and center back for soccer

She regularly exercises to help clear her mind

Her senior year she is student body vice president and homecoming queen

she is very charismatic and extroverted.

she eats healthy and likes cooking recipes Alex and her Abuelo (oscar) have taught her

Alex’s nickname for her is Conejita meaning bunny.

She doesn’t drink much caffeine which is surprising for an AP student who is in two sports and in student government. We don’t know how she does it

She is a smoothie master and has perfected the perfect green fruit smoothie. 

She is best friends with her cousins Lizzie and CJ (Elizabeth and Charlotte) and regularly takes to them over video chat

She goes to a catholic school up until middle school where she starts in a nice public school (well as nice as they can be)

From the time she understood what the paparazzi was until she hit about 14 she actually didn’t mind the attention. She’d smile and wave at photographers or throw a peace sign. 

She’s the girl everyone knows in school that does really well at almost everything but is also really nice and sweet. 

She has a dusty brown hair and green-blue eyes.

She has a small dusting of freckles over her nose

She mixes business casual pieces and athletic pieces for her everyday style. 

Once she graduates she gets into a ton of good schools! Harvard, Yale, Bryn Mawr, and Oxford but she has a deep anxiety about moving away from her parents so she decides to go to Columbia and lives at home

She is named after Great Grandma Ana-Sofia and then has Alex’s mom’s name for her middle name

While all of the Fox-Claremont-Diaz children know both Spanish and English, Sophie is the one who also knows French

Thankful Thursday: Esther Armstrong

from @wexhappyxfew

Lieutenant Esther Armstrong is a war correspondent attached to Easy Company during the Second World War. A Bryn Mawr alumni, with a brother in the Marines and a father who fought in the Great War, she wants nothing more than to do what she does best - writing and sharing stories, hopeful that this will bring comfort to folks back home. Intelligent and level-headed, Esther navigates the men of Easy Company along with her photographer, Mercy Codona. She always looks for the best in situations, she stays calm and humble when times are rough, and she works her hardest to get problems solved. That’s why when the two women land in Normandy and she suddenly is entangled in the lives of 8 other women, she realizes her purpose in this war is not to fight but to tell the stories for people that aren’t able to tell those stories themselves. (And if she can do that, she’ll be pretty darn happy!)

Just saw your post about Thankful Thursday and HAD to submit a post; i’ve also been working on new OFCs, but i have one that is currently a favorite of mine and who i’m beyond excited to write! i enjoyed this so much last year and had to join in again!

thanks again merc! i enjoy this so much!

And Then The Dawn Came is still a work in progress, but wexhappyxfew is on AO3 and Wattpad

Suburban Station, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Photos by Wendy Darling

Suburban Station, one of Philly’s most prominent Art Deco buildings, was on my list of buildings to photograph, and I did, but things didn’t turn out quite how I planned. Long and rant-y story short, I ended up lost in City Hall station and when I finally found the track level of Suburban Station, I kind of got trapped, unable to find the exit! I took pictures in there and eventually found an elevator to the street. When I got there, the annual Veterans’ Parade was about to start and guess what, I couldn’t get too close to the building. So these are my pictures, such as they are, parade included.  (I will share the interior picture later.)

And now for some info on this station....

Basics, from Wikipedia:

Suburban Station is an art deco office building and underground commuter rail station in Penn Center, Philadelphia. Its official SEPTA address is 16th Street and JFK Boulevard. The station is owned and operated by SEPTA and is one of the three core Center City stations on SEPTA Regional Rail. The station was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad to replace the original Broad Street Station and opened on September 28, 1930.

Close-up of the stunning main entrance (also Wikipedia):

The entry in Encyclopedia of Philadelphia offers this additional info:

As part of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s plan to replace Broad Street Station (and redevelop the station site and its approaches), Broad Street Suburban Station as an underground terminal for electric commuter trains opened in 1930. In 1984 it was rebuilt as a through station to allow the trains of the former Reading and Pennsylvania railroads to operate as an integrated system by SEPTA.

For a deep dive into station construction and background, a two-part article from PhillyHistory from back in 2009:

“The Pennsylvania Railroads Philadelphia Improvements” -- Part I & Part II

And finally, the answer to a question that’s popped into my head: “Why Philadelphia’s Suburban Station is in the heart of the city.” According to the Philadelphia Inquirer:

The station was the Philadelphia terminus for Pennsylvania Railroad's "suburban electric trains." It's named for where the trains came from, not where they ended up. Towns feeding the station included the stops on the Main Line (named after the railroad's main line to Harrisburg), and included Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Villanova, Paoli, Malvern and Devon, as well as other stations in surrounding counties.

Final Project Update #2

I took the feedback that you gave me in class last week and the past few days, I retook better outside photographs at Bryn Mawr Film Institute and the Ritz. I also went to a bigger theater chain (Regal) and took pictures there. I am pleased at how my pictures came out and I hope to edit and print them today. That is where I am at in my final project.

The Oxford Classical Dictionary Simon Hornblower (first published 1949)

For more than half a century, the Oxford Classical Dictionary has been the unrivaled one-volume reference work on the Greco-Roman world. Whether one is interested in literature or art, philosophy or law, mythology or science, intimate details of daily life or broad cultural and historical trends, the OCD is the first place to turn for clear, authoritative information on all aspects of ancient culture.

Greek History: The Basics Robin Osborne (2004).

A very short, compressed primer on Greek history from the Dark Age up to the Roman conquest, written by one of the top experts.

Ancient Greece: A History in Eleven Cities Cartledge, Paul Anthony ( 2009)

Designed for a non-expert audience, but again by a top expert, this book uses a series of microhistories to tell a story of Greece’s history from the Dark Age to the Byzantine Empire.

𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘇𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗲 (𝗰𝗮. 𝟭𝟲𝟬𝟬 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟮𝟬𝟬 𝗕𝗖𝗘)

The Aegean Bronze Age Dickinson, Oliver ( 1994)

A comprehensive synthesis of a wide range of data, useful for beginners and researchers alike.

The End of the Bronze Age: Changes in Warfare and the Catastrophe Ca. 1200 B.C. — Third Edition Drews, Robert ( 1993)

This is the only halfway decent book on the Bronze Age collapse that affected Greece, Anatolia, and Syria. Drews’ rebuttal of some widely-accepted theories on the collapse is the most useful part. His own argument, that the collapse was caused by changes in military practice, is much less useful (though his theory is at least no worse than its competitors).

𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗔𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱 (𝟭𝟮𝟬𝟬 𝘁𝗼 𝟰𝟳𝟵 𝗕𝗖𝗘)

Archaic Period (c. 800- 479 BCE), Greek Dark Ages c. 1100 — c. 800 BC

Archaic Greece: The Age of Experiment by Snodgrass, Anthony ( 1980)

A classic book: though it has been superceded in some ways, this can probably be regarded as embodying the conservative orthodoxy on the period.

The Trojans and their Neighbours Trevor Bryce (2006)

Though focused on Troy, this is currently the best book that deals with the relationship between Bronze Age Greeks and the peoples of Anatolia.

Greece in the Making 1200–479 BC Osborne, Robin ( 1996)

One of the definitive surveys of Dark Age and Archaic Greece.

A Companion to Archaic Greece Kurt Raaflaub and Hans van Wees (2009).

A thorough guide with over thirty chapters written by world experts.

(TEXTBOOK) A History of the Archaic Greek World: ca. 1200–479 BCE by Hall, Jonathan ( 2006)

Another of the definitive histories of Dark Age and Archaic Greece, by one of the greatest living historians of the period.

“Scholars as well as students of historical practice and specialists in Greek history will find this book indispensable … Highly recommended.” (Choice)

“Very attractive physical appearance … an extensive bibliography and index. Hall’s style is clear and crisp … .The book is to be recommended.” (Canadian Journal of History)

𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗗 (𝟰𝟳𝟵 𝗧𝗢 𝟯𝟮𝟯 𝗕𝗖𝗘)

(upper-level undergraduates textbook) A History of the Classical Greek World: 478–323 BC P.J. Rhodes (2006).

Partner to Jonathan Hall’s textbook on Archaic Greece, listed above. Both provide accessible and up-to-date overviews of the period they cover.

“A leading authority on Athens, Rhodes has written a superbnarrative of Classical Greece for upper-level undergraduates:lucid, concise, and balanced. Welcome additions to the secondedition are chapters on life and culture, and brief selections fromcontemporary sources.”

(undergraduates textbook) The Greek World 479–323 BC Hornblower, Simon ( 1983)

A frequently used overview, written by a top scholar. Hornblower also pays a nice amount of attention to cities other than Athens and Sparta.

`To write a standard history which contains the essential material and yet is interesting and says things which have not been said before is one of the hardest tasks. Hornblower has performed it excellently.’ — Times Literary Supplement

`Packed with worthwhile ideas and impressive erudition. It will stimulate thought’. — David Whitehead, Classical Review

`An undergraduate text book which neither the professional ancient historian can afford to ignore nor the interested non specialist fail to read with profit and pleasure’ — History Today

𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱 (𝟯𝟮𝟯 𝘁𝗼 𝟯𝟭 𝗕𝗖𝗘)

(TEXTBOOK) The Greek World After Alexander 323–30 BC by Shipley, Graham ( 1999)

An introduction to the Hellenistic Period. For more in-depth detail, the researcher will still need to go to Peter Green’s enormous Alexander to Actium (1990).

“the seventh volume to appear in Routledge ‘History of the Ancient World’ series is clearly and sensibly written, has an excellent and original selection of tables, maps, diagrams, and photographs, and provides and thorough, reliable, and up-to-date introduction to key topics. — Zofia H. Archibald, University of Liverpool.”

(TEXBOOK) Thundering Zeus: The Making of Hellenistic Bactria by Holt, Frank L. ( 1999)

A good introduction to Greek culture outside of its traditional homelands, and more specifically Greek cultures of the Hellenistic era. Well researched, and highly current.

A Companion to the Hellenistic World by Erskine, Andrew ( 2003)

A thorough guide with nearly thirty chapters written by world experts.

Alexander the Great in His World by Thomas, Carol G. ( 2006)

A fairly academic but very good biography of Alexander.

“An engaging and persuasive book, which offers a newperspective … .It will maintain the interest of specialists… yet remain accessible to the general reader.”Canadian Journal of History

𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗲 (𝟭𝟰𝟲 𝗕𝗖𝗘 𝘁𝗼 𝟯𝟵𝟱 𝗖𝗘)

Troy Between Greece and Rome: Local Tradition and Imperial Power by Erskine, Andrew ( 2001)

In this book Andrew Erskine examines the role and meaning of Troy in the changing relationship between Greeks and Romans, as Rome is transformed from a minor Italian city into a Mediterranean superpower. The book seeks to understand the significance of Rome’s Trojan origins for the Greeks by considering the place of Troy and Trojans in Greek culture. It moves beyond the more familiar spheres of art and literature to explore the countless, overlapping, local traditions, the stories that cities told about themselves, a world often neglected by scholars.

“A detailed and spirited sifting of evidence.” — Times Higher Education Supplement

Greek Literature and the Roman Empire: The Politics of Imitation by Whitmarsh, Tim ( 2002)

Greek Literature and the Roman Empire uses up-to-date literary and cultural theory to explore the phenomenal rise of interest in literary writing in Greece under the Roman Empire. Greek identity cannot be properly understood without appreciating the brilliant sophistication of the writers of the period, whose texts must be considered in the historical and cultural context of the battles for identity that raged under the vast, multicultural Roman Empire.

“An important contribution to the study of the so-called ‘Second Sophistic’ period…. Whitmarsh offers illuminating and provocative readings of texts both familiar and less known.” — Choice

Local Knowledge and Microidentities in the Imperial Greek World by Whitmarsh, Tim ( 2010)

“The nine chapters, whose authors represent an all-star cast of thinkers about this period, are all innovative and well-written.” Bryn Mawr Classical Review

𝘼𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘼𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝘿𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙮​

(textbook) Mass and Elite in Democratic Athens: Rhetoric, Ideology, and the Power of the People Ober, Josiah ( 1989)

Examines the political dynamics between different classes in democratic Athens, with an emphasis on the role of persuasive speaking in the assembly and the court system.

The Athenian Democracy in the Age of Demosthenes: Structure, Principles, and Ideology by Hansen, Mogens Herman ( 1991)

A comprehensive account of the workings of Athenian democracy and of Athenian political ideology.

𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗔 𝟵𝟬𝟬𝘀–𝟭𝟵𝟮 𝗕𝗖

(textbook) Sparta and Lakonia: A Regional History 1300–362 BC by Paul Cartledge (1979).

While dated in many ways, this remains one of the pillars of scholarship on Sparta, and one of the works responsible for reviving the subject in the modern academy

(textbook) Spartans: A New History Nigel M. Kennell (2010)

An accessible new introduction to Sparta, taking into account the latest scholarship transforming our view on the subject.

Sparta by Whitby, Michael ( 2001)

An up-to-date collection of studies on aspects of Spartan history and society, most of them by the world’s top historians of Sparta.

(textbook) A Companion to Sparta Anton Powell (2017)

A collection of summaries of the very latest research on Sparta, written by the foremost scholars in the field.

𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗲

The Ancient Greeks at War Louis Rawlings (2007

Perhaps the finest recent introduction to the topic; up-to-date and comprehensive.

“This is a fine book, which strikes a judicious balance between accessibility and scholarship, covering a much wider range of topics than most books on warfare, and offers an intelligent and original interpretation of its subject.” — Hans van Wees, University College London

Classical Greek Tactics: A Cultural History Roel Konijnendijk (2017)

A comprehensive reassessment of how and why Greeks fought pitched battles.

The Peloponnesian War by Kagan, Donald ( 2003)

Written by one of the top experts on the war, this intelligent account is a condensed version of his four-volume history first published in the 1960s.

𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗲

The Rise and Fall of Classical Greece Josiah Ober (2015)

An attempt to explain the spectacular wealth and impressive achievements of Classical Greece through models from economic theory and game theory

The Ecology Of The Ancient Greek World by Sallares, Robert ( 1991)

A tremendously important (though not always well-written) study of the relationship between the environment, the realities of agrarian economy, and human society.

The Invention of Coinage and the Monetization of Ancient Greece by Schaps, David ( 2003)

A useful and sane study of the development of currency and its role in Greek society.

A Companion to Ancient Greek Government Hans Beck (2013)

A collection of chapters on all aspects of Ancient Greek government — its different forms, institutions, practices, and values.

Courtesans and Fishcakes: The Consuming Passions of Classical Athens James Davidson (1997)

An exploration of the theme of desire and the Greek obsession with controlling it; a survey of all the things and people the Greeks desired.
