@GonzoInstant @SandyofCthulhu Say what you will, my two-year-old is nuts about this guy.

@TheGreatB00ks I'm finally finishing up The Iliad. I started when you guys did ... (then I had kids). Embarrassing. Looking forward to starting Odyssey soon. Any idea when you'll get to Vergil?

@passienus Thanks. I pulled this off my shelf just the other day, the TOC looked incredible.

@VShoutings @ChristandGuitar What do you mean? The Hebrews burned incense in the Temple (Luke 1:8-11). The angels burn incense in the heavenly temple (Revelation). Seems more like it was a universal religious practice.

@Gravantus It's very 2009, I'll say that for it.

@TheCatholicEngr In Mormonism you can get permission for an abortion. Liberal Christianity basically encourages it at this point.

@NJFiorvento I just put this booklet together with metrical Compline psalms and hymns, using Claude and text from an anglican metrical psalter. Haven't printed it yet.

@JosephBenJ2 @ClassicalTheis No, at that point you just need a Bible and various commentaries by Fathers and saints.

@ClassicalTheis I just picked this up

@literally_chad @MomaBera We don't do an allowance, but I suggested it once purely as a way for her to feel she could just spend money on herself without feeling guilty lol

@QuetzalPhoenix Western Europe didn't actually have access to Homer until the late 1300s. They did have other Latin stories of the Trojan War.

@a_fellow_of Reminds me of a character from The Secret History by Donna Tartt. He's fluent in several dead languages but shocked to learn about heliocentrism. Also an autodidact.

@owenbroadcast I interpret it as a parable about poor planning.

@benitokatolik I want to read the "Christmatic" Bible.

Once met a guy who genuinely spoke with a transatlantic accent. His parents hired a dialect coach for him when he was a little kid, and it really stuck.

@kurington @UpdatingOnRome Fiddla, Please!

Nolan’s Oppenheimer is about how dropping the atomic bomb was bad. Nolan’s Odyssey is about how going to war is bad. Taken together, they symbolize Nolan’s opinion that we shouldn’t have interfered in WW2.

@Coachkcrypto @JamesSurowiecki Do you think Ken Watanabe is white, or that Tom Cruise played Katsumoto Moritsugu?

@OVTweetmarck He's right though, my 2 year old goes nuts for Jar Jar based on character design alone
