An Impatient Reader

On reading the Premiere Issue of Archaeology Odyssey last winter, I wondered, “The first issue of any magazine should be a blockbuster, but what will the next issue look like?” Well, the Spring issue is as good as or better than the last one.

My problem now is that I don’t want to wait another three months for the summer issue to come. How long will it be before you print six magazines a year, like your sister publication Biblical Archaeology Review? So increase the subscription rate a little—I’ll pay, I’ll pay!

This issue is currently under discussion. See the Editors’ Page in this issue.—Ed.

You have the audacity to call your publication Archaeology Odyssey, implying that you support the historicity of Homer, whose works have inspired and instructed the Western world for millennia.

Instead, I find articles—in the Premiere Issue, no less—that dispute not merely the blind bard of Chios’s authorship of the epics, but even his very existence. I am not interested in the opinions of unwashed barbarians!
