The grave stela of Demokleides. He died at the Battle of Nemea in 394 BC. He is sitting on the prow of a trireme with his hoplite gear behind him. ἐπάμεροι· τί δέ τις; τί δ᾽ οὔ τις; σκιᾶς ὄναρ ἄνθρωπος. - living only for a day. What is man? What is he not? A dream of a shadow. Pindar, Pythian 8.95-6

Keen on the Odyssey? Listen to Tom Hiddleston explain why Classics is still so important and what he got out of it. (I was a bit touched as i used to teach him at Uni). He starts with Pompeii, then the whole subject. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

Cavafy wrote a lovely poem about what Ithaca means. More insightful than Nolan’s take. I translated it into his metre, iambic pentameters. open.substack.com/pub/armand…

classicalassociationscot.org… Would really appreciate if folks could share this link about the CAS Ancient Voices Programme. This has been a project of mine with Sam Newington at @aberdeenuni, where we have tried to create a welcoming and low-pressure intro to ancient languages!
