Our second Summer Loeb Draw! All five volumes of Plautus' comedies, containing 21 plays edited by one of the great Classicists of our age. To enter, just retweet this message and we'll draw a random follower from the list on Friday 21 June! Anyone can enter, so good luck to all.

The first of these Loeb giveaways, then: the nine-volume set of Early Greek Philosophy. A bedtime book if ever there were one. Or nine! To enter the draw, just share this tweet and cross your fingers for Monday 10 May!

In my opinion the original phrase, chai su teknon, was better.

@docleeworthy @simon_schama This was the version I read (when I was really meant to be revising for exams.. so it reminds me specifically of the Costa Coffee next to West Hampstead overground station..).

TIL that while θυμός means soul/spirit/life, θύμος means genital warts. Sudden new appreciation for Greek accents.

[Dougall @DougallM]

@AntigoneJournal Would love to know what the joke was!

[Dougall @DougallM]

@PhiloCrocodile Looking forward to the Greek version!

Some tremendous mosaics in the House of Dionysus #Cyprus #Paphos

[Dougall @DougallM]

Good fun in Cyprus: Nea Paphos and the Tombs of the Kings - hot but well worth the visit!

[Dougall @DougallM]

This is utterly mad but fantastic - looking forward to the full translation.

What's the longest Homeric poem you haven't read? At 6,576 lines, it's probably the Astronautilia, a space-trotting sci-fi epic. Unusually, as Ben Broadbent of @BalliolOxford reveals, it emerged in the same year as Friends, Pulp Fiction and The Lion King:
