@Athens_Stranger At a certain point Tusculan Disputations V seems like it could have saved some words in expounding how beata vita consists in virtue even when being tortured on the rack etc.
@liambeadle Well MP text for me. 1979 Daily Office lectionary is underrated and unfairly maligned. I do take issue with “CW-appointed lessons.” I say no such thing exists as CWDP lacks a lectionary and you have to go online or to a bookstore to buy one! Another slay for PECUSA > CofE.
@pensandpoison@RyanHaecker Fagles is the original juicer of Homer to get effects that aren’t in the original. “He had ever braved,” “marched right up”… it’s not Homer’s lens, it’s what Fagles put in there bc he thought what Homer says would bore his readers. (His Sophocles translations are good tho.)
@otokyo__ Find your local Sacred Harp singing. They will gladly encourage you to sing your heart out with them even if you “can’t sing” or don’t know about music
@ChayasClan Interesting, and now do your best to reconstruct Aunt Polly’s egg salad recipe. All I know is everyone made a beeline for it and polished it off fast!
@Bellorris @ScottJenningsKY Could you give me a beginner’s reading list of four Pindar odes and why each one is recommendable? Add a couple of fragments with Snell-Maehler numbers and brief descriptions
@LeahLibresco Good… but won’t hold my breath waiting for Left half of my TL and of the world to respond to this clarion call to teach Oresteia and Dante. Maybe just maybe the post AI hunger for offline authenticity can help in that direction
@Alexkennedy310 The reviews were all positive until the fake negative ones started piling up this week. I used to teach at Union College. Whatever else you might believe about Khatami and his descendants, you should at least skip the lie that she isn’t a good math professor.
