Yay how exciting, I love the KCL Greek play and I especially love when they do a comedy. IMHO Clouds has some of the best jokes in all of Aristophanes.

Incredible journey. This Roman tombstone has travelled further than the man it commemorates. It seems to have come to New Orleans probably through post WW2 looting. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm teaching some tragedies in translation which I usually only read in Greek this year, and it's been a really interesting reminder of the wide range in available translations. Some of the "unpopular" plays are still very limited for options!

One of our favorite things: going to see Greek plays performed. 'Hit and myth: Bacchae brings into view the National’s history of revamping Greek tragedies' www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/s...
