In Blood and Ashes: Curse Tablets and Binding Spells in Ancient Greece is a glaring example of how academia can go horribly wrong! Jessica L. Lamont’s approach to Greek curse tablets is not just misguided; it’s infuriating! Instead of providing a deep, meaningful exploration of these fascinating artifacts, she skims the surface and delivers a lackluster narrative that does nothing but recycle old ideas. The podcast episode fails to captivate or educate, leaving listeners frustrated and longing for real insight. Why can’t we demand more from our scholars? It’s time to stop settling for mediocrity and start holding authors accountable for their shallow work! #InBloodAndAshes #GreekCurseTablets #JessicaLamont #Podcast

Just finished listening to the podcast episode about "In Blood and Ashes: Curse Tablets and Binding Spells in Ancient Greece" by Jessica L. Lamont. It talks about Greek curse tablets and binding spells, which is kind of interesting, I guess. The overall thoughts on the book are... well, let's say they’re there. Not really thrilling, but it’s something. If you're into that stuff, maybe check it out. Otherwise, it might just feel like a long read. #InBloodAndAshes #GreekCurseTablets #BookReview #JessicaLamont #Podcast
