I don't consume a lot of historical media, but it was cool to see something new and interesting out of a film about WWI or WWII.

I have recently been watching the Netflix show Peaky Blinders which I'm guessing majority of people have heard of. I enjoyed this piece of media because it gives a raw view into Ireland's history through the perspective of a family gang called of course the "Peaky Blinders."

I first read this for a history project but am glad I chose that story. It tells the story of Odysseus and his men after the Trojan War and every occurrence they have on their way back home are exciting and interesting.

Over the break, I watched the movie Gladiator, with Russell Crowe. Although it veers more into drama and action instead of historical accuracy, certain figures such as Marcus Aurelius and Cicero do appear. I immensely enjoyed the suspense and action in brings, namely in the end (sorry to speak broadly, I wanted to avoid spoilers).

This book was also written by Madeline Miller, the author of Circe. Miller retells the ancient Greek legend of the Iliad from the perspective of Patroclus, Achilles' lover and closest friend.

The book is a retelling of the Trojan War and its aftermath from the point of view of Cassandra. I really enjoyed the perspective and the book was very well written.

This book retells the history of the creation of the United States Navy after the revolution.  I liked it because it discussed the different mindsets and attitudes that colonial politicians had towards the creation of a Navy.

I really love the Robert Langdon series by Dan Brown and Angels and Demons is the first book of the series. It is a mystery thriller based on the Vatican and the Illuminati. It is fiction but it is based on real secret organizations, buildings, and events.

When I was younger, I used to enjoy watching Liberty Kids. I liked how it presented early United States history in a way that is easily digestible to a younger audience.

I am obsessed with Downton Abbey! A new show about the Gilded Age is coming out soon!

This book retells the story of Circe from the Odyssey. I enjoyed it since it brings a fresh and innovative modern take to an old character, while remaining respectful to the ancient source material.
