This year we launched the biggest and hardest competition in Classical philology. The judges worked through a million words of commentary. The quality was eye-wateringly strong. Here are the winners of our inaugural competition! More facts to follow soon: https://t.co/uL21rjxOoP

The University of Ottawa has made the alarming and depressing decision to stop admitting Classics students. To tell us what is going on in Canada, and what can be done about it, here is Professor Geoffrey Greatrex, long-standing pillar of that department: https://t.co/lS7eQQ8jFH

@theo_nash @AntonyFiery Sorry, which papyri of Sappho date that early?

@19Averil @Nakhthor Does this dictionary exist? I can find no trace of it. M C Janssen, I assume.

Are you curious about what @Carleton_U's Greek and Roman Studies program has to offer? Check out Brianne’s story to hear about her experiences as a student in the GRS program and how it fostered her passion to learn more about the early Roman Empire!

The annual lecture tour sponsored by the Classical Association of Canada is coming to Carleton! 🏺

Professor Michael Sampson from Department of Classics at University of Manitoba, will be presenting his lecture titled “Purchased Papyri from Karanis and the Archaeological Record”

[shanehawkins @to_the_crows]

@MWeissOHCGL Embarrassing for them. And there's at least one contributor to that volume who is an IEist!

@cwjones89 @ShadiBartsch It might know some.
ChatGPT:
Here is a phrase in Akkadian, along with its transliteration and translation:
𒁹𒂟𒃵𒆠𒄿𒅆𒆷𒂠𒅕𒂟𒁕𒆠𒅆
Transliteration: Šumma ālu ina mēlê šakinma mātu sāmā šarruṣ

Translation: If a city is situated on a hill, the land will be prosperous.

@ArmandDAngour Thanks! I don't think LSJ meant to suggest a connection with πέτομαι (the full entry is 'flutter, excite by any passion'), but I can see how some would think that.

[shanehawkins @to_the_crows]

@ArmandDAngour Well, that's interesting, since Montanari's dictionary and Neri's commentary take them as the same word.

[shanehawkins @to_the_crows]

@ArmandDAngour Source for Lefkowitz article, please? Is this also how you would read the word elsewhere (e.g. Sappho 22.13)?

[C. M. Sampson @samosafuz]

I'm a bit late to the party, but wanted to add some perspective on why there's so much yet to do

[shanehawkins @to_the_crows]

@platos_fire @WorkClassicists @Lenniesaurus, would you consider giving a recitation of this poem of Sappho that has been translated into Scots?
