Latest review just dropped! I had the pleasure of reviewing the new English translation of the Valla commentary on Ovid's Metamorphoses, and I unsurprisingly found it the most definitive English-language commentary on the Metamorphoses out there. Check out the review here! doi.org/10.1017/S000...

Decades of mechanistic talk about university degrees as if they were bundles of 'skills' and 'prep' are about to be proved completely wrong (obviously). Want to get a real boost? Do History or English.

Australia’s bloated universities are plagued with scandal and struggling under the weight of their own poor governance and financial mismanagement. A new paper by The Australia Institute concludes it’s time for a major shake-up in the way they are run.

The enormous volumes of LIMC are so valuable to the study of Greek myth. Over the past few years some of this legacy data has been migrating online. Digital LIMC now has URIs for mythic people - many now aligned to MANTO. #LOD 🏺 www.manto-myth.org/blog/manto-x...
