We discuss&amp;nbsp;what it’s like to be a modern bard and how that has shaped his understanding of the Homeric poems and ancient audiences, as well as what it means to be “non-traditional”&amp;nbsp;classicists, and what we can do and have been able to do to promote Classics to a general audience and why that is important.
