Episode 11 - Dr. Alex Petkas (Ancient Life Coach)
Dr. Alex Petkas received his PhD in Classics from Princeton. His research interests include Greek literature, rhetoric, epistemology, and ethics. He recently resigned a tenure-track professorship, due in part to disenchantment with the DEI revolution in higher education. Alex has a number of scholarly publications. Known online as "Ancient Life Coach," Petkas is also host of the Cost of Glory podcast, which retells the lives of heroic figures from antiquity. We talk about the state of Classics as a scholarly discipline, his decision to leave academia, and his current projects. https://ancientlifecoach.com/
