Yeah! I told them all the same things about Latin so then my approach was “Welp kids, we are stuck with each other for an hour a day and this textbook ain’t gonna read itself.”

Oh wow, literally never thought of that! 🤔 *Engage* the students *own* interests, then connect that to the *real* world! Brilliant 🙄

Rhea Classical Review More inclusive scholarly reviews.

and of course @rheaclassical.bsky.social, also open access - a book review journal prioritizing underrepresented scholarly voices rheaclassicalreviews.com

if you are looking to send your book review to an outlet with editorial ethics (and also open access), I’d suggest NECJ crossworks.holycross.edu/necj/

Well, a surprising amount of the dialogue *is* actually direct quotes from ancient sources believe it or not! 😆

Well, well, well, look who’s here! 😆

Liz Taylor as Cleopatra winks from the 1964 film

You mean other than the eponymous Liz Taylor film? 😉

Does anyone have reading(s) they like to assign to undergraduates on Cleopatra? I'm finding things that are criminally short or book-length but little in between. Ideally ca. 20 pages?

1 year ago today! The culmination of an almost 15 year journey, I completed the Authentic Athens Marathon!

I took this year off, but I’m planning on going back next fall…

Ahem, you mean the “Peanut Punch”! #BearDown

Perry: How can AI be used ethically when it’s been linked to suicide? "It’s not on us, on you and me, to use AI ethically or responsibly. It’s on the companies to build safe, reliable, ethical products," David M. Perry writes.

Yes, there is definitely a way, or there was two weeks ago, but it took some clicking around to figure it out…

Gratias! Hopefully teachers and students find it useful!

Haha no worries! I’m looking forward to checking it out!

Haha yes they asked me the same. Well, I just ordered one so I guess you are about .1% of the way there now? 😂

What about Latin Club expense??

Is it unethical to make a lot of strong hints for my students? 😂

Bit of self-promotion: I have published a commentary on a selection of Martial's epigrams, so if you are a Latin teacher/instructor...or a fan of having Latin grammar and rhetorical devices analyzed...feel free to check it out.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.
