The Odyssey Effect: How Homer's Epic Poem Shaped the World

Erica Stevenson (@moaninc) is a London-born historian who earned a BA in Classical Civilization from New York University. Her mission to make ancient history accessible led her to create MoAn Inc. (or MOdern ANcients), a YouTube channel garnering over a million views, which aims to promote the wider conversation of classics by offering breakdowns of ancient texts, book by book, as well as in-depth discussions with professors, fiction writers, and independent scholars. Stevenson has appeared on several history and pop culture podcasts and has been featured in a number of articles. She hopes to encourage more people to engage with the ancient world in vibrant and new ways.
