They ship from China - they come from a company called Knitwise. They pride themselves on making sure all charges and taxes are covered before entry, but I can’t find out whether US tariffs create more customer charges. So far, no US customers have reported anything…

Classics clothing is the best clothing 🏺

Miri wearing a sweater vest over a black turtleneck. The vest design is orange Greek key designs with mini red figure style gorgons dancing across it. It’s super cool.

An ancient ghost story part 2

This comic strip can also be viewed as a video on the YouTube channel (with my wonderful husband providing the voice of PtY), downloaded as pocket-money PDF, or saved for free from the main site. Have a great, safe and spooky time tonight!

They find.:.

…a body!

Athenodorus marked the place the ghost vanished with some leaves, and went to bed. In the morning, he called for the magistrates and asked to have that spot dug up.

So Athenodorus followed it into the house, until it suddenly disappeared.

The ghost rattled its chains over his head as he wrote

Athenodorus told the ghost to wait, and went back to writing.

The ghost appeared

He did some writing so he wouldn’t just imagine phenomena. But he heard the clanking late in the night, until…

Time to reshare an Ancient Ghost Story: the story of Athenodorus’ Ghost, recorded in Pliny the Younger’s letters… (and the inspiration for Marley in Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’)

Help required, fellow educators! I'd like to make an interactive timeline, where I can link videos, text, images, and links to external sources.

Any suggestions for a programme that can do this?
