"If we had any sense, we wouldn't trouble ourselves over the death of a person longer than a single day" τοῦ μὲν θανόντος οὐκ ἂν ἐνθυμοίμεθα, εἴ τι φρονοῖμεν, πλεῖον ἡμέρης μιῆς. #Semonides

The controversial #Semonides verse from the 7th century BC is a satirical poem, "Types of Women", comparing women to various creatures — and concluding the best wife is like a bee. Someone should write a satirical poem titled, "Types of Men" — what creature is the ideal man like?

Well the good news about the brouhaha over the alleged expurgation of #Semonides poems at the University of Reading is that it might create an interest in his poetry — and in the classics in general.
