Ian possesses a BA in Classics from the University of Tennessee. He is a lover of history and writing, both fiction and non-fiction. His specific passions within Ancient History include mythology, the physical rituals of ancient polytheism, and the intersection of these aspects in the rest of the ancient world. Very little gives him as great a pleasure as being able to have conversations with interested audiences about the wonders of the past.
