The first day of school went reasonably smoothly ... let's see what happened in the Classicoblog world:

N.S. Gill has a timely piece on the Ludi Romani ...

Laura Gibbs has another Latin proverb game ...

Michael Gilleland analyzes some translations of Catullus 43 ... he also ponders the perennial question of how to say 'yes' in Latin ... and there's an interesting use for three stones (in Aristophanes, anyway)

Ross Scaife joins the chorus of laughter over a recent Microsoft Patent ...

Mary Beard is visiting Tunisia and pondering empire ...

Durandir is thinking about Roman Grrl Power ...

Mischa Hooker comes up with a better title for a drama based on Sophocles ... there's also a belated Labor Day post ...

Here's Eric's offering from Quintilian ...

Michael Pahl has an interesting piece on the early Christian community at Thessalonika ...

Andrew Criddle (via Hypotyposeis) is looking at the early Church fathers' attitude towards Prometheus ...

Eurylochus is wasting time looking for wine for Epieus ...

I think I missed this one the other day ... Dorothy King has a post on archaic predecessors to the Parthenon sculptures ...
