Salvete! Χαίρετε!
a little introduction:
on tumblr I go by athenais, and I use they/them pronouns. I am currently a graduate student pursuing a master's degree in classical philology, which means I'm studying the languages and literature of Ancient Greece and Rome! Besides English, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek, I have also studied Japanese (but that was many moons ago)!
research interests:
the intersection of narratology and linguistics
how languages shape the stories we tell
literature's influence on culture and culture's influence on literature
personal interests:
films and books (generally science fiction and fantasy!)
film soundtracks (I am a diehard Hans Zimmer and Ludwig Göransson fan)
owls (hoo could have guessed!)
taking before and after photos whenever I clean anything lol
what you can expect:
frequent posts! I try to post at least once a day
updates on my to do lists
tracking how much time I spend focusing/studying
quotes in Latin and Ancient Greek that I like with my translations
the occasional sweet treat
pictures of my notes, my iPad, and my messy cursive <3
some French (it's a requirement for my degree)
and more!
Thank you so much for reading! 🦉
