As promised, here's this week's gleanings from the Classical blogosphere:
A great many blogs (and mailing lists) have links to an e-petition to the PM of the UK in regards to plans to scrap Ancient History O-Levels ... if you haven't signed it and want to, it's too late (it was limited to citizens of the UK, obviously) but you can peruse the list of signatories ...
N.S. Gill had an item on the charge against Socrates ... coincidentally, there was a discussion on the Classics list about whether Socrates did actually ingest hemlock and inter alia, this very interesting paper (online) was mentioned: Enid Bloch, "Hemlock Poisoning and the Death of Socrates: Did Plato Tell the Truth?"
... elsewhere, N.S. was posting about Imperial Women, Tiberius ... she also had a nice gallery of maps of the Roman Empire ...
Alun had a useful list of the Greek months in various city-states ....
At Campus Mawrtius, Eric posted about Aurea Mediocritas while Dennis had an item of translation theory and practice ...
Glaukopis went to see 300 ...
Ed Flinn continued to post his coin collection ...
Michael Gilleland had another eclectic selection of posts ... Herodotus on Pacification ... Liddell and Scott ... Erysichthon in Ovid ... and in Callimachus ... and the must-read Rectal Music ...
Peter Stothard had an item on the Penguin Aesop ...
Mary Beard went to the Louvre's Praxiteles exhibition ...
William Annis posted on Athenaeus' account of Callipygian Aphrodite ...
Irene Hahn had a nice post on Catullus ... Corona Graminea ... on whether Marius (junior) murdered Cato ...
Adrian Murdoch returned from fishing to post about the Breviarium of Festus and Bohn's Ammianus Marcellinus ....
At Hypotyposeis, Andrew Criddle posted a Christian inscription from Dura Europus ...
Other roundups:
Phil S. has his weekly Patristics roundup ...
Laura Gibbs' roundup of useful Latin teaching materials ...
New blogs:
Gavin Kelly's Ausonius (hat tip to Adrian Murdoch)
