Ringing out the old year with our usual eclectic selection of contributions to the blogosphere from our Classicarnies:
N.S. Gill tells us the ASCII codes for the Greek alphabet ...
Adrian Murdoch had a mini-carnival, with assorted items of interest for later antiquity ... he also noticed something interesting about Fergus Millar's latest ...
Campus Mawrtius sprang to life this week with a post on the Pretense of a Classical Education (by Dennis)
At Classics Reloaded, MJD continues to ponder the nature of Athenian democracy ...
Curculio also sprang to life this week, trying to etymologize mazomanie ...
Ed Flinn posted a number of interesting coins this week ...
Troels Myrup had a post on Pompeii in the Popular Imagination ... he also posted some photos from various sites/venues at the Stoa Gallery ...
Michael Gilleland found assorted refs in assorted periods to laughing waters ... then there was Chilson Aldrich on 'knowing Latin' ... finally, there was a look at the invective against Kleon "the tanner" ...
Irene Hahn went to the Cloisters and saw the Caesar tapestries ... she also gave some info about Sedulius (cf. our post below) ...
Nathan Bauman comments on books 17-19 of the Odyssey ...
The New Antiquarian posted a pile of good stuff this week, so we'll just link to the main page rather than individual items ...
The Sparta Journal also had a Sparta Carnival this week ...
Perhaps in anticipation of the ManU toga party which we mentioned, Mary Beard was pondering drinking in the ancient world ...
On a semi-related note, an article in the Times Argus claims Alexander the Great has a blog ... I haven't come across it ...
Also semi-related, last week R. Bragg sent in (thanks!), but I forgot to post (d'oh) this website about a Neptune festival in Virginia Beach, which might be of interest ...
Other than that, we've posted issue 9.36 of our Explorator newsletter and will soon be doing our AWOTV listings (which will be posted before the end-of-year revelries/nap begins) ... I'm pondering the possibility of making rss feeds for these items, by the way.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
