(ea/eam) Philosophy Ph.D. turned alt-ac. Fast thinker, slow runner, avid swimmer. Formerly Twitter's favourite Medievete™. Not your average Zelda Fitzgerald. Occasionally still moonlights as a philosophy prof. 📍 Montreal, Canada
Vendo o site dele, tive um flashback de uma vez que fui consultar um manuscrito de filosofinha na Beinecke e ele estava nessa coleção:
I'm not sure about plurals though. Proper names are inflected in different *cases*, but they're rarely used in the plural like that. For reference, in ancient Greek, the declension of "Socrates" is often only presented in the singular (screenshot from Wiktionary table):
Gonna read the Iliad again. And just finally got a paper version of this, which I found used but in pristine condition for just under CAD 13 😀
Eu cantei essa bola há 6 meses, mas Cassandra eterna, etc. bsky.app/profile/alin...
Does anyone know why this would be kept in the same collection/section as the Prophet's relics in Topkapı?
To say I was feeling unwell today would be a huge understatement. This was a very apropos visit, once again.
The temple of Artemis at Ephesus def looks less impressive now than the one in Sardis (pic from two days ago) but I came, I saw, etc. Also: bonus points for the stork nesting on top of the standing column.
Very apropos timing: came to pay my respects to Artemis for taking us back to the moon, etc.
I probably have a follower or two who reads Old Assyrian Akkadian? Anyway, here's a little treat from Kayseri:
Seria bem legal se as grandes editoras no Brasil tivessem editores de verdade, para que esse tipo de frase (essa aberração, na vdd) não fosse publicada com tanta frequência:
O Consulado Geral do Brasil em Montreal abriu um concurso pra viajantes do tempo (viventes portadores de PRANCHETA):
Well, well, well, guess who was right on *all* fronts yet again (albeit slightly unwillingly). Pius it is! If you know your recent-ish Church history, your popes, and everything that greases the wheels of fascism, you know
Should've probably learnt Latin "better and more effectively" before coming up with this:
O epônimo biscoito água e sal ficou ainda mais epônimo com a crise econômica
This interview started going haywire literally at the very first question:
Clearly one of the few people who managed to read the friggin' room
Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score (Be advised: I love this film and it's *very* hard to beat me at this game)
What perfect album came out when you were sixteen? The classic, the one and only (which is also three while also being one, like... God — and which therefore can only be defined as being absolutely perfect)
But according to my dear friend Katie, who served as my personal tour guide 😆 and who's also, incidentally, a lecturer in very dead languages (like Hittite) at King's College London, loads of Linear A tablets actually came from Hagia Triada. Currently also at Herakleion museum.
Now *these* are photos from the archaeological site at Phaistos FWIW. Most of the cool stuff which was found here, including the Phaistos disc and the bits with Linear A inscriptios, are now in museums (mostly in Herakleion)
It's past 11pm in the Hebrides and it's not even dusk yet. The sun will be up again in just a few hours. This is the happiest you'll ever find me.
