    Sometimes I stop translating and just read the Greek aloud for the sound of it.

    Also Seika Translates is recommencing. Do any inhabitants of the thread have an opinion on me doing it in blogs like before, or in here?

    Blogs would be better, I think. I look forward to it!

    One of my courses this past (thank God) fall semester was Apocrypha. All 15 books that we covered in class were really interesting, but I was surprised to find that Enoch wasn't included among them. Well I know something I'll be working on reading this winter break.

    My senior seminar class is about religion in Antiquity and god damn some of these medieval copyists. Like one of them appears to have just stopped transcribing one of Julian's letters mid-sentence because Julian was about to blaspheme against Jesus.

    People who take up Classics as an actual profession spend at least 25% of their time dealing with (and hating) the botch-jobs of mediaeval monks.

    Like, okay, you've decided to write over the last copy of Ptolemy's autobiography with The Lord's Prayer, fine. But if you've already committed to preserving a thing, preserve the WHOLE THING.

    If you ever possess a time machine, please tell me the real physical description of Jesus. It's a bit mind blowing that Jesus's depiction originated from a fake letter.

    Why stop Manzikert

    I'd probably just feed Gavrilo Princip a poisoned sandwich tbh.
