The Greek Dispatches
The Greek Dispatches is me slowly reading Greek literature, tragedies, and mythology as a long, lived thing by staying inside the events until they start giving me meaning.
Currently, I’m sitting and thinking with Homer, to ask why the moments and figures in The Iliad matter, and to explore how the feelings and judgments in this ancient text still resonate in our modern life and thought.
I read a chunk of the text, stop where I feel pulled, and write essays from there. All published dispatches are available on the collection page below.
Note: This isn’t a replacement, summary, or retelling of the source. It’s not even “what happened” in the story. It’s me thinking out loud from a particular moment. Sometimes I’m trying to see the war and name what it feels like from inside it, or I’m following a question that won’t leave my mind. There’s no fixed schedule or format.
