Hey #ClassicsTwitter, if you like Ovid or are interested in the intersection of gender and social status in Roman lit check out my latest piece in AJP, “Violence and Vulnerability in Ovid’s Amores 1.5-1.8”: https://t.co/SytcfmTBxN

Inspired by @jeltzz. Which historical headline should I do next?

@firasd Genette (literary theorist) talks about focalization—when the thoughts / perceptions of a character intrude into 3rd person narration, they are said to be “focalized” through that character. I wouldn’t necessarily call it modernist—happens as far back as Homer!

@wsavage_dcfc @CSMFHT The Trojan Horse occurs after the events of the Iliad, which ends with the funeral of Hector (BEFORE the death of Achilles…or the horse…or the sack of Troy…) The story is chronologically prior to the events of the Odyssey, but is narrated several times within that poem.

One of the course eval responses for “Do you have any advice for future students about how to succeed in this class?” : “you will never regret taking Latin but you will regret not taking Latin” 😂❤️

@toutovlepo This is a great week to be a Latin teacher, especially at a Catholic school. All my students started yelling habemus papam

@toutovlepo I mean, if Daedalus had built an airplane instead of fake wings…?

@ProudAFAmerican I have a friend who teaches during the school year & works for a tour company in the national parks during the summer. Bookings are already catastrophic. Tours that were already booked up years in advance are now being cancelled because so many are dropping out.

@Acyn This man went to law school?

[[email protected] | Katie De Boer, Ph.D. @antianeirantics]

@SenSchumer Please. Please. PLEASE. Resign.
You are clearly incapable of leadership at this most crucial moment.
Please step aside for someone who is capable of doing…well, anything.
