Just found out there is a subreddit for Latin tattoos: r/mylatintattoo. I'm definitely going to hang out there now and try and lend some flourish to these corporeal inscriptions. It's a long term ambition of mine to have Horace Odes 3.30 on my back in full!

Reading Seneca's Epistulae VII.8 which has some excellent turns of phrase in it.

Walking in North Yorkshire I stumbled across a locus amoenus. Will the nymphs have Yorkshire accents? Will they be kind??

I know this is a mountain from a molehill, but 'ad + gerundive to express purpose' is NOT a thing. 'ad' with a gerund expresses purpose (e.g. venio ad spectandum). When the gerund takes a direct object it undergoes 'gerundival attraction' (venio ad ludos spectandos).

"You ask in what progress I have made? I began to be a friend to myself." - Hecaton as quoted by Seneca Ep. 6.7; Seneca always makes for excellent bedtime reading and reflection.

I've been building bikes in lockdown after my previous was stolen. I've decided to name them after minor characters of Homeric poems. This one is Eurylochos.

Perfectly encapsulates my thoughts on how Latin and Greek teaching in UK schools should be taught. I am always telling my students to read lots more easy Latin instead of labouring through Livy and Ovid! thepatrologist.com/2020/08/19/get… via @ThePatrologist

A question for the Classical Twittersphere: what is the etymological reasons for it being 'declension' for nouns and 'conjugations' for verbs. I get conjugation because inflexion is a 'joining together' of elements; but why 'declension'?

Horace describing climate "end of days" when: "The race of fish clung to the elm-tops Which had been known as a home for doves, And the fearful deer swam in the sea cast over them" (C. 1.2) #ExtinctionRebellion #classicstwitter #horace #latin
