Musings is a publication for creative work related to the ancient Mediterranean. Musings strives to promote diversity in perspectives, topics, and formats. Just as the nine Muses of Greek mythology inspired innovation in their devotees, we hope for Musings to serve as an inspiration for students and scholars-in-the-making. This is especially important as the academic field of Classical Studies faces its past and expands to better represent antiquity and the changing demographics of modern scholars.
