Michael Gilleland has an appropriate quote from Euripides for these (or practically any) times ... there's also a translation of Martial by Robert Louis Stevenson ... and I'm sure he's not the only one who made this translation in their early Latin career ...
Dorothy King tells us of some architectural refinements on the Parthenon ... there's news (in Italian) of a Temple of Demeter being found in Viterbo ... there's also a VERY INTERESTING post on the Sampul Tapestry ...
Eric is continuing Quintilian's talk of metaphor ...
Adrian Murdoch points us to an interview with Michael Aquilina on Augustine ...
Ed Flinn has a very nice Cornelia/Demeter(?) ...
The latest installment at Under Odysseus ...
Elginism links to some interesting Parthenon cartoons ...
Roger Pearse ponders the impact of JSTOR on scholarship ...
Amicus Noster Garrett Fagan is the latest scholar to get the Roman Scholars treatment ...
Peter Jones has put some recent Ancient and Modern columns up at the Friends of Classics site ...
The Center For Hellenic Studies has a new section that I just noticed ... First Drafts @Classics@ ... seems to be versions of papers; here's the first couple:
Chapter Four of Sarah Shelton Hitch's King of Sacrifice: Ritual and Authority in the Iliad
Yannick Durbec's "Callimaque Aitia Fr. 26 (Pfeiffer) et la tradition rhapsodique"
Benjamin Woodring's "Trajectories of things: Spears, Arrows, and Agency in Ancient Greek Epic Poetry"
I should also point out that Ginny Lindzey regularly has a rant about how high school Latin teachers are not respected by their university-level counterparts ... professorial types (and those pondering Latin as a teaching career) really should read some of the Latin teacher blogs out there just to see what's going on at the start of the school year ... get started with Mark Keith ... then check out Ginny (scroll down to the post called 'Inspired' and work your way up) ... Durandir has been giving almost a day-by-day account (amid some knitting ... scroll down to August 16) ...
I've also finally managed to connect to Christopher Francese's Latin Poetry Podcast at Dickinson College ... worth a listen (if you can connect ... I had a heck of a time)
New Classics blog: Nestor's Cup (by someone named Nicholas)
