My Classics Will Be Intersectional, Or…
Today marks the end of the publication of new content on Eidolon. I hope that its closure doesn’t diminish what we accomplished in the past five years, and that we’ve proved that there’s a need for an explicitly progressive, public-facing publication in the field of Classics. We were able to make a mark on the field not in spite of our politics, but because of them.
Eidolon was not, at its inception, a “feminist” publication. It was founded as a “modern way to write about the ancient world,” and a venue for public-facing, broadly accessible essays that had “a strong authorial voice and a unique point of view.” This is not to say that feminism was not always a part of its project — because it was, from the very beginning.

All of the papers from the panel left me with much to ponder. But the idea that’s remained stuck in my mind is something that Padilla Peralta said at the end of his paper, and then repeated during the Q&A (and no, it’s not the part when he said that he thought Legend of Zelda would be a perfectly appropriate subject for a course of study, although I would love to return to this idea in a future editorial). Padilla Peralta challenged us to contemplate the death of our field:
