Madeline Miller: Ancient Greek and Modern English.

Plenty of mentions of this … this one comes from the incipit of Oncars:

Italian exotic supercar maker has filed paperwork to trademark the name “Deimos” for a new product. The name “Deimos” comes from ancient Greek mythology, where the god Deimos was the son of Ares – the god of war and terror and Aphrodite – the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure and procreation. […]

… how the heck can you trademark the name of a Greek god? What legal system would actually allow such a thing? We’ve already seen Volvo get their knickers in a knot over people using the phrase illo modo volvo on a t-shirt … so now what happens with the myriad products out there with Deimos on them? This is silly …

Seen on the Classics list:

Undergraduate and graduate students may be interested in Montclair State University’s archaeological field school at the "Villa of the Antonines" in Genzano di Roma, Italy, which is directed by Deborah Chatr Aryamontri and myself and centers around an Antonine-era villa complex once decorated with luxurious marbles and multi-colored mosaics, located in ancient Lanuvium and close to Rome as well as to places in the Alban Hills that traditionally have been of central interest to classicists: The sanctuary of Diana at Aricia, the Museum of the Ships of Caligula at Nemi, and the Alban Lake.

Dates: July 1-28, 2012. Cost: $3,500 plus tuition (variable according to undergraduate/graduate status and residency inside or outside of New Jersey) plus airfare. Previous field experience not required. Includes introduction to excavation, artifact analysis, basic surveying, and drawing. Weekend field trips to Rome, Ostia, Alban Hills.

We still have a few places left!
