What's up friends?! We're here with an update on our Greek curriculum - lock in!

In this reading update, we’re checking in on our 2026 “personal curriculum” dedicated to Greek mythology. Starting with The Iliad and moving through modern retellings that give long-overlooked voices the mic. From Achilles’ rage to Cassandra’s curse (yes, she was right), we talk through what we’ve read so far, what surprised us, and how contemporary authors are reshaping these ancient stories.

📚 Books discussed in this video:
The Iliad by Homer
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes
Shit Cassandra Saw by Gwen E. Kirby
(The Odyssey and The Count of Monte Cristo)

If you love Greek mythology, book reviews, feminist retellings, or just watching two people emotionally spiral over ancient texts, you’re in the right place.
