Constantin Meunier was born 12 April 1831. He was inspired by the Parthenon frieze to honour working-class citizens, here miners, in his relief sculptures for the "Monument to Labour" now in Laeken, Brussels.

Arlene and Edith are two powerhouses of classics, especially bringing it to people who haven’t previously had access to it. This is an incredible project of theirs - I’m thrilled it’s going so well!

This is crummy treatment of students and teachers who have been working hard to pursue a subject that interests and excites them. I’m sorry the government feels that is something to discourage rather than reward. I hope there are ways to ameliorate the damage done today.
