Any young man who thinks that "acting like Odysseus" is a *good* thing either hasn't read the 'Odyssey' or hasn't read it nearly carefully enough.

Also, the Greek conception of a ἥρως had little to do with any 21st-century Catholic notion of "virtue."

Pic of a group of potsherds containing scratched names, known as #ostraka. When an Athenian assembly was deciding whether to exile an individual, voting was carried out by scratching names on an ostrakon. Names seen here include Megacles & Hippocratos.

The art is really, really great. LOOK AT THAT SEXY WAX TABLET IN THE LOADING SCREEN. LOOK AT THE TEXTURE ON THAT LAMP. Okay, the gorgoneion pendant looks more like a Roman mosaic, but the Athenian coins are cool. (#classicstwitter confirmed my suspicion that the inscription used on the tablet is, in fact, post-Roman. The Latin bit gives it away)

So one of the things that is difficult for the Interactive History project is getting detailed enough research for an ancient historical figure (enough to speculate about the choices they made and might have made.
I'm so excited to finally be able to point my advanced 9th grade readers who are working on Roman research topics for their Interactive History project to excerpts from my book for Cicero and Caesar support https://www.amazon.com/Rivalries-that-Destroyed-Roman-Republic/dp/152673317X/

Hey #ClassicsTwitter, this site says the practice of toasting began in Ancient Greece to prove some wasn’t poisoned. Leaving all else aside, do you know of any evidence that the practice of drinking from a communal cup/jug was to show it was safe? https://www.toastmasters.org/magazine/articles/the-history-of-toasting

There's probably something in Eleanor Dickey's “Greek forms of address”, as there's an explanation about this for Latin in her book on the same topic for Latin.

Has anyone written about female names in ancient Greek? Either there's not a lot or my google scholar skills are HIGHLY lacking today. Suggestions #ClassicsTwitter #AncMedTwitter?

Since 2018 I have been reasonably active in #ClassicsTwitter circles in the other place, live tweeting whatever caught my eye in my studies and following lists of classics researchers, students and enthusiasts. So I'd be keen to connect with anyone who finds their way here.

Thank you also to @lizcovart, @kawulf and @jmadelman for inviting us over.
