“Now I will tell the captains of the ships, and all the ships together”*…
Ethan Mollick has created a new site that’s fascinating in two different ways. First and most overtly, it’s a beautiful (and thorough) visualization and explanation of the ships used by the protagonists of The Iliad.
But at the same time, it is a powerful demonstration of (at least one of) the ways that AI might be useful in scholarship and education: Mollick spun up the site last month, using Claude…
In the second book of the Iliad the poet pauses on the brink of the first battle, calls on the Muses, and counts the fleet: twenty-nine contingents, forty-six captains, some 178 place-names, 1,186 ships [and by Thucydides’ reckoning, around 100,000 men]. This site puts every entry on the map, rebuilds the ships from the archaeological evidence [pictured on this site], and lets you read the lines beside the ruins they describe…
“The Catalogue of Ships” from @emollick.bsky.social.
* Homer/The Poet, The Iliad, Book 2, lines 492-3

As we set sail, we might recall that it was on this date in 331 BCE (long, long ago– but hundreds of years after the action described in The Iliad) that Alexander the Great and the Army of Macedon defeated King Darius III and his Persian Army in the Battle of Gaugamela, effectively the final blow to the Achaemenid Empire, resulting in its complete conquest by Alexander.

Leute, dieses Buch ist der Hammer. Ich habe es zu meinem diesjährigen Geburtstag (62) im Juli geschenkt bekommen. Hier geht es ans Eingemachte. Idolerne werden gestürzt ( Marx, Brecht, Picasso, Einstein...) und ich bin teilweise echt schockiert über die männlich dominierende Geschichtsschreibung. Dabei bin ich ja schon auf dem Weg, meine Überzeugungen zu hinterfragen, gerade auch mit meinen Feministischen Scherenschnitten.

Indian genius Rabindranath Tagore barely attended school & never completed his degree.
He received his main education from private tutors at home & through self-learning, yet he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.
I think school, college, & university education are overrated, except for STEM fields.
Prioritize Knowledge over Formal Education.

I've resumed writing the manuscript for an (obviously) unfinished piece of fiction. As it stands, it might be best categorised – if one is so inclined; I'm not a fan of the limitation of genres – as literary fiction, and more particularly as a biographical novel in the tradition of transgressive realism.
