Honey, the Iliad, and Medusa; Links for May 14

Congrats to Charles Giglio, NYS Teacher of the Year.
Medium has some nice articles as part of the publication Eidolon. “Hungry Eyes” discusses mythological imagery in modern ads, and “Aeneas in Palestine” explores the connection between the Vergilian epic and the Palestinian conflict.
