📣 Calling all little Ancient Historians and their grown ups!
The BMCA’s Athena’s Owls 🦉 will be a Greek Myth Forest School for May, June and July! Oonagh has created a brilliant set of sessions to explore ancient myths in Birmingham’s Cotteridge Park #teachancient #myth #greekmyth #forestschool

Our AI Workshop for People Who Hate AI is tomorrow!!! I promise @apistone.bsky.social and I won't spend *too much* time ranting about the AHA's new guidelines. Don't forget to register! #TeachAncient

Any suggestions for Latin examinations that go beyond translation/grammar commentary/content analysis?
#TeachAncient (do we still use this hashtag??)

'Herbacides' is one of the #English words that you are going to pronounce wrong in your mind if you are a Classicist.

Ok, #TeachAncient, who wants to plug some really great Classical Reception scholarship that you've been reading (or writing yourself)? Bonus points if it's undergrad-friendly! I've left too much of my receptions class as "TBD," and I need to fill in the blanks with some new stuff!

I'm very pleased that the chapter I co-authored with Ulriika Vihervalli, 'Elite Women and Gender-Based Violence in Late Roman Italy', is available! Get in touch if you have obstacles to access #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient #LateAntiquity

Amazing to see ancient democracy in the modern history classroom! I’m so chuffed that my talk was useful and that Year 8 are thinking about @utaustin.bsky.social Prof Michael Gagarin’s thoughts on democracy!

So excited that the NEH has funded
Leigh Anne Lieberman & my application for a summer 2026 institute on digital literacies and methods in ancient Mediterranean studies research and teaching! Stay tuned for more!!

#TeachAncient #DigitalHumanities

Really excited for my @aclclassics.bsky.social talk that was just accepted for the June Institute: "Trust the Text: Adventures in Linear Reading."

Hoping it will be hybrid so you can participate even if you aren't in Williamsburg! Yes, YOU!

Teaching a course this fall at @isawnyu.bsky.social on text analysis for historical languages—course description here: diyclassics.github.io/isaw-f2026-g.... If you are at NYU (or a consortium program) and are interested, let me know.

Ok y'all, enough people are #OverHere now that maybe I can post questions on this site like I did in the bad place: anybody teach a graduate pedagogy seminar in Classics? Do you have advice or a syllabus to share? Which programs have a bona fide pedagogy class? #TeachAncient

Writing a second lecture on Petronius and trying not to get into a tangent about similarities and differences between Cena Trimalchionis and The Menu (2022).

I have created an account @wustltextiles.bsky.social to document my course this semester in ancient textile production. Follow along to check out our readings, discussions, and above all our studio work! #AncientTextiles #TeachAncient 🏺

#ClassicsBsky do your thing! There are so many experts on here to give advice @rustymcgee.bsky.social! #TeachAncient

Anybody know an accessible (for undergrads) and accurate chapter/article on ancient Greek clothing? It feels like the only places these exist are in 100 yo history of costume books that cover every era and are specialists in none... #AncientBlueSky #TeachAncient #Textiles

Situationist Latin update: 4 of my 3rd year Latin lit students joined me on an options dérive on campus. We talked about spatial and disciplinary hierarchy, community-making, commercial space in the university, & urban spatial practices and student/architectural identity…

Recommendations for a pub on Roman calendar, student accessible?
Looking at R. Hannah’s 2013 Greek and Roman Calendars. #TeachAncient 🏺

Recommendations for a good and accessible translation of the Passion of #Perpetua? My Latin class won't have time to read much of the Latin, but I do want them to read the whole thing in English. I've not taught it in translation in 12 years at least. #TeachAncient #LatinTeach

re-upping for classics #TeachAncient #LatinTeach folks in case anyone knows of a tool. I'd like to compare vocab from two different authors, & maybe even Latin word frequency lists.

P.S. Maybe I should have made this a blog. Oops.
P.P.S. The citation for the Kahn article is in this thread: https://x.com/DLibatique10/status/979041143596961792
P.P.P.S. This thread probably belongs in #TeachAncient.

I sadly have run out of time to get my Greek forms quiz based on the lists in Owen and Goodspeed onto the website, but I'll keep working on it throughout the semester. I may make it my project for my Perseus NEH application if it fits the parameters ... #TeachAncient 3/3

In sum: I am having far too much fun preparing for this class each week. #TeachAncient 4/4

Detailed schedule at the end includes plain text files for Benner's text (OCR-ed and corrected by hand, so please let me know if you see errors!), vocab lists thanks to The Bridge (<a href="http://bridge.haverford.edu)," class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://bridge.haverford.edu), and Benner's notes thanks to Perseus - more to come. #TeachAncient 2/3

Prob another on Tues w/ 1.155 and the adj ἐριβώλακι, 'very fertile' but lit. comprising ἐρι-, 'very', prefix w/ force of superlative, and βῶλαξ = βῶλος, 'clod (of dirt)': or, in doge speak, 'very clod, much earth, such prefix, wow.' https://dir.lat/hCziOq #TeachAncient 3/4

A&G 282 calls such an instance a "predicate apposition" citing Cato: litteras Graecas senex didici, I learned Greek as an old man, but that term doesn't sit well w me; sounds almost like a descriptor of a verbal action (cf. Smyth 991, "Apposition to a Sentence") 4/4 #TeachAncient
