In particular, how might we see the #TLDP song 'Burn Alive' as a reimagining of Dido's story? www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4BW... #aeneid #popclassics #classicalreception #virgil #music

It's the Ides of March. To commemorate, I would love for you to read my latest pop-classical blogpost about @jay.bsky.team's MUNDUS SINE CAESARIBUS t-shirt. What does the Latin say? Who are the Caesars that @bsky.app seeks to resist? What links Graber and TLDP?

Hey @mmasnick.bsky.social , I'm a classicist from London. I wrote this blogpost in response inspired by your conversation with @jay.bsky.team! It's about Caesar, Graber, & Zuckerberg. I'd absolutely love for you to give it a read: the-pop-classicist.com/2025/03/15/t...

Hi there! My name is Tilda, aka the Pop Classicist. I am rather busy at the moment (teaching, writing, applying for PhDs, etc.), but I hope to get back to blogging soon. In the meantime, for fans of Gladiator, here's a post I wrote in the summer about the inspired choice of JAY-Z for its trailer.
