glaukôpidos an anachronism in modernity glaukôpidos belonging to glaukôpis wednesday november 21 2007 glaukopis 32452346th return the lupercale and alcestis medea i would apologize again for my extended absence but i m sure anyone still reading this is sick of hearing the excuses however i was very excited to read about the discovery of the lupercale how cool is that in other news although i am no longer officially a grad student anywhere alas i ve been keeping up with a greek class this semester it keeps me sane and drives me insane at the same time but then i guess that s what greek is all about i ve also been thinking a lot about the similarities between alcestis and medea lately i know this seems strange at first glance but they do both subvert male power by outshining their respective husbands and alcestis does ask admetus not to remarry which is of course a far cry from offing the new wife but it s still limiting admetus future chances at procreation i have to think more about this and go back over the medea with the alcestis at hand too i sort of feel like the alcestis is euripides being subtle and the medea is him saying ok subtle didn t work i ll hit you on the head with a 1000 ton hammer i don t know maybe i m reading too much medea into everything else posted by glaukôpis at 1 50 am 25 comments thursday september 20 2007 terra marique potens arr i be late fer talk like a pirate day apologies maties but me internet s been actin up but in honour of talk like a pirate day i be readin well skimmin map of the ancient sea kings it be an interestin read and something fer all good pirates landlubbers need be botherin arr i also be listenin to the pirate queen which though it not be classics related did feature on stage the line o queen elizabeth s i know when i am being insulted in latin well that an there be a scene where grace o malley goes off swashbucklin directly after givin birth which reminded me o medea i d prefer to stand in battle thrice with a shield than to give birth once but that be neither here nor there everythin be remindin me o medea anyway hope all o ye talked good an proper like a pirate today posted by glaukôpis at 2 04 am 130 comments saturday september 01 2007 what dreams may come i wish i could say more was going on here but it s not i ve been reading some latin and i m going to be taking a greek course this fall just to keep up during my year off but right now there s really very little to report i m hesitant to throw up articles everyone else is already posting about anyway oh and i m looking for a job if anyone wants to offer me one great but i do have a question for all of you lovely classicists specifically a question about dreams you see last night i was in the unfortunate position of having a dream nightmare about greek greek accents in this dream i was trying to type a sigma and for the life of me none of my keys would type a regular sigma i only got a sigma with an accent i don t remember what kind of accent now but it horrified me obviously finally with the advice of someone i know i marked it in the paper it was a draft and planned to cross it out manually and this is obviously a really lame dream i ve had better ones once i dreamt about finding latin inscriptions and then finding out that they were left by aliens or somesuch but my question does anyone else dream about these things i can t be the only one who has ridiculously pedantic dreams about greek accents can i posted by glaukôpis at 1 49 pm 17 comments thursday august 09 2007 random random random well jeopardy ok so i m back across the pond now and hopefully we ll see more regular updates but firstly has anyone else been watching celebrity jeopardy this past week they ve had quite a number of classics related questions some of which were imposisbly easy there was one that was something like he made socrates his spokesperson or whatnot and i was rather horrified that nobody got it there was one on venus and the last one i saw was a category called the iliad macbeth and the hobbit it was impossibly easy with answers like this one was written first um yeah actually that was a rather ridiculous category considering all three of the celebs on the show had done theatre before and should thus know something about the scottish play at the very least and making actors say macbeth is just rather cruel and completely randomly brian stokes mitchell was on the show and he was in ragtime with audra mcdonald who was the lead in marie christine based on medea whew and actually audra mcdonald s character in ragtime nearly killed her child as well because of its father s philandering ways next time i ll try to be less rambling in my post posted by glaukôpis at 3 55 pm 15 comments monday july 09 2007 apologies for the super extended hiatus i got caught up in the final paper and the thesis which is done whew and decided i better cut myself off from the blogging world every time i thought i had a moment to notify people of this i realized i d get sucked back in it didn t help that i d feel obligated to wade through the hundreds of e mails sitting in my inbox now from the various classics related lists i m on p and when that was done i was faced with a spotty internet connection eheu so anyway apologies i shall attempt to update more regularly again two things i definitely wanted to post about though rome reborn which you really just have to click on and see for yourself but it s 3d rome and amazingly well done harvard s latin salutatory address for the star wars fan super amusing because latin and star wars seem naturally to go together in my head anyway don t ask i hope these humble gifts are enough to excuse my extended absence internet situation is still a bit spotty but i shall try my best to catch up and keep up posted by glaukôpis at 11 03 am 8 comments thursday april 19 2007 brush up your shakespeare yes i know this is a classics blog and how many of us are sick of people asking oh so you study shakespeare but fear not i shall related this back to our world of classics i actually did attend phenomenal performances of both taming of the shrew and twelfth night last weekend so it saddens me to read that shakespeare like our classical studies is on a decline it does not however surprise me i started as an english major and i too was vexed that my school did not make shakespeare a requirement for the major and i have to agree that earning a bachelor s degree in english without the study of shakespeare is tantamount to fraud and speaking of which i think reading these books would also be tantamount to fraud at this point in college we cannot assume that every student has read shakespeare in high school before because they haven t moreover even if they did they weren t analyzing his work at the level you do in college how can you possibly be an english major no matter what your field without some shakespeare back in my earlier undergraduate days when i was still naive and filled with grand illusions about well many things i took a class called shakespeare his contemporaries one of the works we were reading was shakespeare s troilus and cressida there were english majors in that class who hadn t read shakespeare before an upper level english class and thank goodness these were the ones honest enough to rectify that situation and moreover when the prof asked if there was anyone who didn t know the basic story of troy this was before the bad movie sure enough there was at least one person willing to admit that she didn t she at least was willing to learn but i wonder about a system that allows us to get by without shakespeare and without homer how many english majors are walking away without shakespeare and thinking that the wretched movie troy is actually homer there was a time when studying english literature meant you knew something about the greek latin classics also now some english departments still teach it but i had a classics major friend who was seriously told by his english grad student ta that the iliad and odyssey were written around 2700 bc yes you read that right my friend told the ta that he was wrong the ta would not back down my friend pulled out a reference the ta said well there s some debate i could tell other horror stories about the classics or lack thereof in english classes and it s bad enough that homer s going but shakespeare what kind of english majors are they producing posted by glaukôpis at 12 04 pm 10 comments wednesday april 18 2007 it s springtime for glaukopis firstly glaukopis does not like blogger s change that forces her to associate this account with a gmail account glaukopis is sorely displeased glaukopis also offers apologies for not updating much lately but glaukopis has been busy and jetlagged last week since her return to the uk also it s springtime and you know what that means it means glaukopis allergies are acting up fortunately they are not generally as bad in this country because it s not riddled with cherry blossoms the way the d c area is you laugh but glaukopis has a cherry blossom tree outside her bedroom window at home you do the math however despite the fact that glaukopis is using some claritin equivalent so says the pharmacist here the pollen allergies are now making her sensitive to books usually her book allergies are only set off by 200 year old books as she learned when she wrote a paper on john quincy adams but in springtime glaukopis is apparently sensitive to books printed with bad quality paper this means glaukopis is sniffling in the library and bothering both herself and everyone else glaukopis would of course be indebted to anyone who could offer a medicine that might work against these accursed allergies benadryl is not an option as it puts glaukopis to sleep anyway as a reward for reading through all that whining glaukopis presents you with a clip found by a friend of hers an animated version of the bayeux tapestry glaukopis bets y all are jealous you didn t think of this first glaukopis sure is posted by glaukôpis at 9 54 am 127 comments name united
