If so, I'd love a photograph of this piece from Gallery 172, with your hand nearby for scale: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/254649
Yeah, I can read the dimensions, but a visual reference would be so helpful.

Friends, allow me to bless your timeline with the Loeb Classical Library. Today’s selection: Callimachus, Lycophron, Aratus.
I’m especially interested in Callimachus’s epigrams, which include an offering to Herakles—spoken by an oak branch, with a curt reply from the god himself.

It is also hailed in #Syria, where it plays an important role as an icon in Syrian nationalism.

My focus lies on #Iranian, #Armenian, #Latin and #AncientGreek and morphosyntactic alignment and relative clauses, (largely) using #CorpusLinguistics .
I teach at the University of #Lausanne .
Thoughts, suggestions, questions? Hit me up!
