Apologies for little content yesterday ... not sure if there was a hiccup in the internet or what, but not much came through email-wise yesterday ... in any event, here's what we've seen today:
A couple of items from Hobbyblog: a Gallienus/Gryphon ... and a Gallienus/Apollo ...
Laudator has a modern example of an asyndetic privative (tricolon, no less) ... there's also an interesting item on forms of address ...
Mary Beard reveals that she's definitely (rather narrowly) old school when it comes to justifying why folks should take Latin ... clearly doesn't understand marketing ...
... and there's some more letters in the Times, for those following the Latin-is-hard kerfuffle ... here too ...
Bread and Circuses points us to some ClassCon in an impending New York Dolls reunion album (I guess 60% dead isn't enough to preclude a reunion?) ... he also wonders why Hollywood hasn't made a film about Hermann ...
At Under Odysseus, they've let Helenus go ...
Old School reviews that Greece: Secrets of the Past IMAX thing ...
Antoninus Pius has discovered an interesting piece of Magic ...
Bestiaria has more material on Thomas the Apostle ...
Roman History Books is looking at Gibbon's vindication of Christianity ...
Glaukopidos alerts us to HBO's Rome coming out on DVD soon (my current project is to see how many episodes I can fit onto my Axim so I can watch it while sojourning in Sicily) ...
Campus Mawrtius is questioning Andrewes' portrayal of Cypselus ...
Acta Sententiaque is blogging UFl's Summer Latin Institute ...
From ABZU comes word of the following online material:
W. L. Westerman, Slave Systems of Greek and Roman Antiquity (it appears to be the whole thing via Google Books) ...
R. M. Dawkins The Sanctuary of Artemis Orthia at Sparta
Hans Schaal ,Griechische Vasen aus Frankfurter Sammlungen
Jane Ellen Harrison, Themis: A Study of the Social Origins of Greek Religion
Christine Alexander, Greek Athletics
Alfred de Ridder, Catalogue des Vases Peints de la Bibliotheque Nationale
