Dream account on twitter: animal noises in various languages.

Dogs say αὖ αὖ in Ancient Greek.
Frogs, Βρεκεκὲξ κοὰξ κοάξ

Any others?

"Moo-kethmos: the sound of cows"

Μυκηθμός: ἡ τῶν βοῶν φωνή.

just because something gets published does not mean it is 'right' or 'good'. It means it has passed some minimum litmus test of 'quality' to become part of a conversation.

bad, wrong, poorly conceived, and faddish things are published all the time in different disciplines. In the best scenario, a poor paper inspires a more rigorous response and knowledge is advanced

Many of the complaints were similar to last year's demands that we stay unpolitical or face unfollowing.

We do want to share the love, wisdom, and wonder from the ancient world and bring enlightenment and joy where possible, but studying antiquity and its inheritance is not simply about admiration, adulation, and emulation.

Over the past day—and indeed for months and weeks—I have been watching and involved with arguments dismissing “postmodern approaches” to classics #ClassicsAndTheoryRant (1/15)

This argument is political. “post-modern” is a catch-all phrase for many different approaches which are dismissed by conservative traditionalists #Classicsandtheoryrant (2/15)

There is this argument that keeps going on about studying classical literature, language, culture and history with modern theoretical approaches. #ClassicsAndTheoryRant (3/15)
