@AntigoneJournal Antigone Podcast?

[Ennius @red_loeb]

November 11th is the feast of St Martin of Tours. Here he's cutting his cloak to share it with a beggar.

It's high time to bring back the interjection *pax* (not to be confused with pāx!)

[ΕΥΓΕΝΙΑ ΜΑΝΩΛΙΔΟΥ @ManolidouE]

The University of Ottawa has suspended admissions to its Greek & Roman Studies programme. If the decision remains, Ancient Greek will be eliminated and Latin reduced to one year.

This is the last programme in Ontario offering Ancient Greek at university level (in English & French).

@AntigoneJournal Or the Financial Times copied headlines from the Italian press without realising that "L'" is an Italian article 😅

[Gavin Kelly @GavinKellyLatin]

I enjoyed being interviewed by Anthony Kaldellis on his brilliant podcast Byzantium and friends about the periodisation of Latin literature (and a little about Greek), especially in Late Antiquity. https://t.co/WOliB0xcGU (1/3)

[Gregory Crane @PhilologistGRC]

DOGE terminated our current NEH grant with which we were developing Perseus6. Luckily, much of the work has been done. We should be able to get much, though not all, of the work that we had planned done. The backend is fairly solid and results should appear on the front end soon.
