Check out this thread from Prof. Machado on what his students are learning about Herodotus: Race and Ethnicity!
My Greek students just read the part of Bk 2 where Herodotus refers to Egyptians as "black-skinned and curly-haired." We talked about Asheri et al. 1996 commentary on the passage and why they felt the need to say that the Egyptians were not necessarily "negroes." /1
ALT μελάγχροες εἰσὶ καὶ οὐλότριχες: '...they are swarthy and curly-haired'. This description need not applying to negroes, as sometimes claim.
Check out this video about the awesome collaboration between LATN 101 students and 6th graders at Whitcomb Middle School in Marlborough. They spent the semester learning together about Hercules: youtube.com/watch?v=JALt4Qwt…
