Long walks, or any type of exercise really. But walks seem to particularly clear out the cobwebs. I also like to read literary criticism on ancient literature when I'm feeling stuck. Hearing scholarly arguments about the texts I'm inspired by helps to clarify my thinking, either by giving me something to agree with, or something to argue with!

I enjoyed both the Iliad and the Song of Achilles, and it was interesting to see how many differences there were between the two. But one thing I've been wondering about TSoA is were some of the women (especially Deidamia) meant to be unlikable, or is it this way because the story is told not just from a male Ancient Grecian perspective as well as the society of the time?
