Perhaps another stronger way to stick up for OCT, Teubner, etc is language immersion. One must submit to the foreign tongue.

Except Loebs were explicitly designed for people who wanted to read Greek or Latin with the convenience of a facing-page crib. With a few notable exceptions, there’s really no other reason to own one today.

[Iraj Azarfaza @IrajAzarfaza]

یکی از کارهایی که لمپرت در تمام دوران تحصیلش در مقطع دکتری و حتی پیش از آن برای گذران روزگار می‌کرد، ماهیگری بود. از ۱۹۶۳ تا ۱۹۷۰ در هر تابستان به‌مدت شش هفته در بریستول بِی، آلاسکا، در قایقی تک‌نفره ماهی سالمون می‌گرفت.
(ماهیگیری را با ۵۰۰ دلار قرض از پدر آغاز کرد؛ و بعد آن را پس داد.)
به‌نظر من صبر، پشتکار، و تیزبینی لمپرت برای شکار ایده‌ها حاصل تجربهٔ این هفت سال ماهیگیری او در آلاسکا بوده است.

پ.ن. مرتب می‌بینم دانشجویان ایرانی و غیر ایرانی از اوضاع مالی بد شکایت می‌کنند. اما حقیقت این است که اولا فلسفه هیچ‌گاه منبع درآمد (خوبی) نبوده است؛ دوم آنکه اهل فلسفه اغلب «فقیر» بوده‌اند.

Mill's 1914 map of mounds & earthwork sites in Ohio. Mill's had to make a 6 foot x 6 foot map to show the 5,396 individual locations, many of which had multiple mounds & earthworks.

The greatest harbinger of end times is not plague or war, but the sudden enormous proliferation of Xerox-quality POD editions (unmarked! no warning!) from houses like Penguin.

Minos center: οὐκοῦν καὶ ἐν τοῖς συγγράμμασι τοῖς περὶ τῶν δικαίων καὶ ἀδίκων καὶ ὅλως περὶ πόλεως διακοσμήσεώς τε καὶ περὶ τοῦ ὡς χρὴ πόλιν διοικεῖν, τὸ μὲν ὀρθὸν νόμος ἐστὶ βασιλικός, τὸ *δὲ* μὴ ὀρθὸν οὔ, ὃ δοκεῖ νόμος εἶναι τοῖς μὴ εἰδόσιν·

I honestly had no idea until today that Opera was invented as part of an explicit attempt to reverse engineer the power of ancient Greek theater

"That textual criticism is a waste of time will be always believed by those who accept the texts of Greek and Latin authors as coming from heaven above... therefore I preach only to those willing to ask the question, 'How do we have any knowledge of the Greek and Roman world?'" https://t.co/V3Ftd9v5BO
