As May rapidly slips away ...
About.com's N.S. Gill tells us about Andromeda ...
Laudator tells us about Pious Pelicans (coincidentally, the act described also features prominently on the family crest of your rogueclassicist; there's also a great Latin play on words as a motto) ... there's also a post on ineffectual prayers ...
Commemorating the day, Bestiaria Latina offers some proverbs from the venerable Bede (just-popped-in-the-head-note: shouldn't 'venerable' mean 'lovable'?) ...
Bread and Circuses offers us a modern portrayal of Varus' debacle from Peter Janssen ...
Hobbyblog has a pile of stuff today (and yesterday, which I missed due to technical difficulties), so we'll point to the main page ...
PhDiva's DK is looking at some of the Oxyrhychus Papyri ... there's also a piece on a really weird Augustan coin (was it really purposely made like that?) ...
Iconoclasm has a feature on a mutilated Aphrodite in Istanbul ... (on a semi-related note, my ear worm song for the past couple of weeks has been the Velvet Underground's 'Venus in Furs' ... one of those songs from my youth that was reawakened by Definitely Not the Opera)
William Blathers is looking for some Hellenists to help with the Hymn to Demeter ...
Abzu points us to a couple of useful online books ... first is Robert Funk's Beginning-Intermediate Grammar of Hellenistic Greek ... second is the big (it appears) Liddell and Scott dictionary (although I don't think you can search it in Greek)
Ancient Coin Collecting highlights what is the major flaw of the UNESCO convention on illicit antiquities ...
Congrats to ARLT, which has exceeded its bandwidth ...
