I am pleased to be able to share that NEH has funded a proposal to work on an edition of Aristotle's Poetics in Greek, Arabic and Latin.

It’s the unhistorical opinions that annoy me.

I was so proud of my fearless students who starred in the debut of this intensive, Maymester course — few of whom had any previous dramatic experience. I'm also grateful to @UNCSummerSchool for this feature.

Versūs memoriālēs. Mnemonic Lines. Dactylic lines which, when memorized, help remember lists of names, vocabulary, also grammatical features. Poetic meter is primarily a vehicle for memory! It wants to be your friend. 🎈🧸 📖 J. Siebelis: Tirocinium poeticum, 20th ed., 1916.

Hey #ClassicsTwitter, this ad came up in my feed —a product of all my searches for Greek/Roman sport images I have mixed feelings quoting/reposting a paid post like this, but there's a classical reception paper (conference?) to be made about this!

I tried the experiment of asking AI for a website of the Catalog of Ships two years ago & it sort of worked, with a lot of little hiccups Now, I just gave Manus a screenshot of this tweet and prompt "do this project" and it did the research and I got a working website, one shot

Homer Spring 2025 is well underway! UNC Classicist Ashley Watkins led a great discussion at Epilogue Books on how Ovid reimagines Homer's Odyssey—giving Penelope a voice of her own and a pointed plea for Odysseus to return. More events + free books: tarheel.live/odyssey

BREAKING: Jefferson Griffin wins at the NC Court of appeals in his effort to throw out 65,000 ballots In a 2-1 ruling, along party lines, the court said the ballots should be thrown out---unless the voters in question can prove their identity #ncpol wral.com/story/jefferso…

Some have asked how to donate -- we actually have donations that we have kept for an emergency (such as now). I believe that URLs get penalized but this shows the form -- you write in Perseus under "Other." We really appreciate even the thought of giving!

DOGE terminated our current NEH grant with which we were developing Perseus6. Luckily, much of the work has been done. We should be able to get much, though not all, of the work that we had planned done. The backend is fairly solid and results should appear on the front end soon.

As an academic, the relative silence of the humanities and many social sciences about the future of our world with AI (besides far too many saying "AI is bad" without nuance), is a shame. These are fields with a lot to say about the nature of being human, silent at a key moment.
