Another item on my list of good-things-I-used-to-do-but-stopped-for-some-reason-and-should-resume is a weekly overview of what’s going on in the Classical blogosphere. In this case, I think I stopped because I found a way to efficiently share items from my google reader subscriptions (as you can see over in the sidebar), but after a while, I suspect folks tune that part of rogueclassicism out. And so I decided to revive this feature, but just focus on a handful of the items which have probably scrolled past by now. Ecce:
- Goya’s Saturn Devouring One of His Sons | Smarthistory [very interesting analysis]
- Featured blogger: Juliette Harrisson [history & popular culture] | Three Pipe Problem [lengthy interview!]
- The Tunica Molesta: Roman Execution Ad Flammas | Roman Times [not for the faint of heart/stomach]
- Sparta’s Two Messenian Wars and the Military Government | Mike Anderson [nice overview]
- Plato’s Atlantis before Plato [Hellanicus had his version too]
- Classicists and the other side | Beachcombings Bizarre History [on Jackson-Knight’s ‘spiritual contact’ with Virgil]
- I, Claudius: Tiberius (radio adaptation) | Pop Classics [review of the episode]
- Open Access Hellenistic Astrological Texts | Ancient World Online [fyi]
