This new book may go unnoticed by readers, but many will welcome it to their collections. It is a new & replacement volume from the Loeb Classical Library, collecting the most ancient & authentic Orphic Literature. Completely compelling #31DaysOfHalloween #Halloween2026

New at DCC: William Turpin and Ashley Francese have teamed up to publish the DCC edition of the love elegies of Sulpicia. Audio recordings by Keziah Armstrong. This should be very useful resource for all lovers of Latin poetry! dcc.dickinson.edu/sulpicia/i…

"Do not be afraid to say, in earnest, that you love Classics. Do not be afraid to say that it has value. You don’t need to qualify or justify."

Readers of Ancient Greek will appreciate the company’s well-chosen name, Apate, from άπάτη, “trick, fraud, deceit.”
卧槽笑死我了，这家公司建议立刻引进国内！！
让几千万个AI假扮大爷大妈主动被骗子骗....
全天候接诈骗电话、回钓鱼短信。
它们唯一的任务就是：装傻、唠嗑、拖时间
然后套出骗子的银行卡号、加密钱包和假网站，最后打包卖给银行和电信公司做封杀。
250 万次对话，硬生生浪费了骗子 17 年 的青春，甚至这家公司8月拿了815万美元的融资.........

My wife and I played last night and loved it, except for this unfortunate howler.

“The great cataract of nonsense that pours from the popular press.” The fresh metaphor, the alliteration. So good.

Looking forward to getting back to teaching public speaking after a few years not doing it. Such a fun class to teach!
