Oggi vi parlerò del Santuario di Artemide a Brauron (in Attica), delle 'orsette' e di come sia fondamentale lo studio di diverse tipologie di fonti per provare a comprendere (o sfiorare) la complessità degli aspetti sacri e rituali.

Even those of us who do study women and girls - it’s *not* always about gender.
I don’t study Brauron and the Arkteia because they’re girls, I study it because it’s an incredibly important civico-religious Athenian festival. It’s my work on Athenian religion the brings me to Brauron.

Please don’t assume female ancient historians do “gender stuff” just because we are women. It is an incredibly important area of study but I do Roman law, collective action, and the Roman economy. Thank you for your attention to this stereotype.

On #WorldWetlandsDay2025 let us praise Artemis, whose temples were often built in marshes where waterfowl and small game were abundant, as at Brauron (Vravrona) near Athens. Her virginity represents untilled land. My favourite goddess

Finally made the decision that I’ll definitely be staying in Artemidia, and booked what looks like a really lovely flat with sea views.
Days at Brauron. Evenings chillin’ by the sea.
Absolutely cannot wait.

In 342 BCE (when Sosigenes was archon) Kallistomache, a woman of Athens, dedicated a white chitoniskos with a battlement pattern on it, to Artemis at Brauron. Here's my interpretation of the scene with playmobil.

Tralasciando il fatto che qui Pausania confonda due miti fondativi, è importante sottolineare che già quando vi passò il territorio era allagato dalle acque del vicino fiume Erasino, che nascondeva alla vista i resti del tempio.

I say this like it’s not Sourvinou-Inwood 1988, Neils 2001, and #Brauron.
Genuinely, though, what I do want to see is my EndNote Wrapped. What did I cite the most this year, which PDF did I annotate more than any other, what keywords did I use most this year? #AcademiaWrapped
