'A History of Goblins' examines the history of goblins from the Middle Ages to the present. It shows that goblins—whether interpreted as creatures, objects, ideas, or people—were historically contingent and grounded in an often-hazy interplay between folkloric and folkloresque traditions. bit.ly/4umaYSD

Readers and storytellers keep returning to #Odysseus and his story. Why? @sentantiq offers his expert opinion in an exclusive blog: shorturl.at/ObSar. And don't forget to learn about Odysseus' appeal in Joel's new book: shorturl.at/NURfY

Troubling Heroes: Why We Keep Returning to Odysseus

Why do we keep retelling the story of Odysseus? Perhaps because this 'complicated' version of a hero helps us think more deeply about ourselves.

Echoing the sage words of @CyndiALauper, we keep returning to #Odysseus "time after time." Why is that? @sentantiq weighs in: shorturl.at/ObSar. And don't forget to learn about Odysseus' "True Colors" as a character in @sentantiq's new book: shorturl.at/NURfY
