Returned to study ancient history, Latin, Ancient Greek, @HASSUQ. A/Greek in 2023. Whatever I do in life, I want Athena on my side. 📷: Plovdiv, Bulgaria

@ashleyzablocky Thank you for this recommendation! I went looking for flash card-style apps for Latin a while ago but I didn't find Anki. I probably won't have time to compile my own decks, but even the Wheelock's and LLPI decks online look useful. Perfect for bus trips to work.
@srdesantis It's interesting seeing how important the history and context are to translation (even making basic sense of a passage). Especially when the dictionary offers 20-odd meanings.
Then you add the strangeness of some idiomatic expressions...

Dr Victoria AustenFinally got round to downloading Metatext so I can really give this Fediverse thing a go!
Most of my followers here know me from Twitter but just in case you don’t…hi 👋 I’m a Classicist who loves interacting about all things ancient world, academia, politics, running, donuts, and Schitt’s Creek (not necessarily in that order).

ProtagokratesUPDATE for all #AncMed fans & tooters: I have officially petitioned for a Latin translation of the #Mastodon UI and am waiting for an answer right now. If anyone of you wants to help out in the process, make sure to follow my #LatinToots , or join the CrowdIn translation tool as soon as the work begins. New hashtag concerning this project: #LatinUI
A favourite moment from Thucydides - a curious detail that seems like he's channeling his inner Herodotus:
In Athens "the elder men of the rich families who had these luxurious tastes only recently gave up wearing linen undergarments and tying their hair behind their heads in a knot fastened with a clasp of golden grasshoppers". (1.6)
Beautiful quote from Cicero:
sōlis candor inlūstrior est quam ūllīus ignis, quippe quī inmēnsō mundō tam longē lātēque conlūceat.
The brightness of the sun is more brilliant than that of any fire, inasmuch as it shines so far and wide in an immeasurable universe.
Cicero, De Natura Deorum 2.40.3
Quote and translation in Jones and Sidwell, Reading Latin: Grammar and Exercises, 2nd edn., p.145.
