This post relates a lot to me, I'm 39 but after big hesitation due to a busy job and juggling around with a small child I have enrolled to start study a BA in History in a distance university from September. Thanks for inspiring me. Ευχαριστώ πολύ!

My son - aged 10 - goes to bed reading about history every night and is becoming a bit of an expert on various world empires. Spots connections linking them and high level themes. I did a Classics degree then law and the history has never left me, but I always loved drama and literature too. I’m currently writing a historical fiction book about Galen but focussing on his imagined daughter (we don’t know one way or another what family he had so I had room for conjecture here). But there are lots of real characters and real ancient literary references. I spend more time on that than on the articles in here, but I love both.
