Part of the summer haul from @universitypress.cambridge.org - I hope this great book by @opietasanimi.com will also help me finish my talk on Cicero's own poetry!

About twenty fonts were considered but I decided for this.
😍 Spotted at a recent conference: an author of ours with a Brill #tattoo! Written in the Brill font, amazingly enough, the #Greek term "Hapax legomenon" describes a word that occurs only once in a body of text. Pretty unique, and we love it!

Send us your #academic tattoos if you have them!

I wish I had a large wall map of Ancient Greece, with place names written in Ancient Greek. There has to be one available!

Btw, the banner picture in my profile is a photo I took on 4 April 2023 at the end of the mole/breakwater on the island of #Naxos in Greece. I recommend walking to the end of it if you're able to! I know I want to go back!

My weekend plans include no X but a lot of #Xenophon: editing the translation of Memorabilia done by my former teacher and supervisor, and preparing worksheets for Anabasis for my students.

Moving away from X. Hope to meet old and new friends here, classicists and other.
