Nice little item (from the bottom of my mailbox) from the Merriam-Webster folks:

I don’t think I mentioned this podcast from the folks at ABC on assorted connections between Jesus and Adonis and the Church of the Nativity:

• Adonis and Jesus Christ

… there’s a transcript available if you don’t have the patience to listen …

Charlotte Higgins’ series in the Guardian continues:

• Lesson 3: family can be murder as well as a dream for a Viennese psychoanalyst

• Lesson 4: As Socrates found out to his cost, teaching brilliant and ambitious youths can be dangerous

… the previous two installments (in case you need to catch up):

• What We Can Learn From the Greeks

New paper up at the Leeds International Classical Studies page (it’s a pdf):

• Myrto Garani, ‘Revisiting Tarpeia’s myth in Propertius (IV, 4)

Haven’t had anything from the Classics@ folks at the Center for Hellenic Studies  in a while … a couple new First Drafts:

• Emily Schurr, “Recreating the Creation: Reading between the Lines in the Proem of the Iliad,” July 25, 2011

• Christos Strubakos, “Iliadic Lion Similies: Rethinking Heroic Greatness,” July 25, 2011
