Anyte, AP 7.215:
Nο longer exulting in the sea that carries me, shall I lift up my neck as I rush from the depths; no longer shall I snort round the decorated bows of the ship, proud of her figure-head, my image. But the dark sea-water threw me up on the land and here I lie by this narrow beach.

Dismissed UT Professor Sought Financial Contribution from Epstein Foundation
Former UT Professor Thomas K. Hubbard wrote a letter to convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein requesting funds for a conference critical of new Title IX rules.
Not exactly shocking news but it's worth noting that Hubbard seems to have requested money from Epstein to fund an anti-Title IX conference (something in line with, say, his class & multiple conference talks about how women are regularly making false rape claims)

The art of Nonnus
Many Bassarids were beside the watersprings near the rock shedding fountains of tears; and the deep fountain itself, filled with the showers of tears newly shed upon her sorrowful countenance, grew all dark lamenting the heavy mourning of nevermourning Dionysos

A photo of one page of the manuscript (fol. 43v), which has illustrations of various scenes from the story. For me the point of the photo was not the scenes themselves, but the overall effect of the page, which is very intricately and elaborately decorated, with a lot of gold, elaborate patterns and borders, etc. The manuscript is lit so that the gold in particular catches your eye.
A photo of the manuscript open to the previous page (fol. 43v) and the page to the right of it (fol. 44r), which contains text of the story, as well as more illustrations bordering the text. The overall effect (to me) is very intricate and impressive.
A 14th-century manuscript of the Romance of Alexander (the Great) that I saw in the Treasured exhibition at the Weston Library. [Shelfmark: Bodleian Library MS. Bodl. 264; fols. 43v-44r].
