Friends,
Over the weekend, after nearly a year of writing this newsletter, together we hit a major milestone:
100,000 readers!
To help visualize, thatβs (approximately) as many present at the Battle of Issus in 333 BC, when Alexander the Great vanquished the Persian forces of Darius III β far greater in number than his own. Albrecht Altdorfer captured the scaleβ¦
Our mission is to spread as widely as possible the beauty, truth and goodness contained in great art, literature and ideas of the past.
Thatβs why weβre so thankful for you β our premium readers allow us to keep going, and to pour increasing time and effort into this project.
As a small gesture of thanks, weβre offering 10% off all paid subscriptions until the end of the year!
Youβll get:
All new in-depth articles every Saturday
Full-length, exclusive video podcasts
Access to the entire archive
Our immense gratitude!
(and a lot more coming very soon)β¦
Merry Christmas, and thanks for being here. π
Alex & Evan
