I unironically love The Song Remains the Same. It feels like a junior year group project.

You got the overly-competitive kid who wants a perfect grade on this project because he really wants to be valediction at senior graduation.

You got the kid who doesn't give a flying fuck about the project because he's had senioritis since sophomore year.

You got the two weird kids whom the teacher keeps putting in groups together because they're both weird, but they're actually weird in opposite directions.

And somehow, one of those two gets the highest grade out of all of them on the project.

I wonder if Robert Plant was Jimmy Page's portrait of Dorian Gray and every wrong or illegal thing that Jimmy did during world tours would show up on Robert like his car accident in 1970, his damaged vocal cords and subsequent surgery in 1974, the really bad car accident in 1975 that left his leg and arm permanently scarred and damaged, and the death of his son, then the death of his adolescence best friend, John Bonham.

What is this album?

I was watching the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Pangs” (season 4, episode 8). At 39:57, the camera pans over to this album in Giles’ apartment. Does anyone know what album this is? It is not mentioned on IMDB or the Buffyverse wiki. Please help me out! What is this album?

Read Latin. Solve mysteries.

ENDEAVOUR MORSE WAS A CLASSICS MAJOR! 

(okay, it was called “Greats” at the time but we all know it was Classics)

Instead of saying a Classics major/minor is good for xyz career because XYZ famous person majored/minored in Classics in college, let’s use Endeavour Morse. 

Read Latin. Solve mysteries.

We Need to Talk about Persephone

The Greek goddess, Persephone, is actually NOT the goddess of springtime!

The warm, summery months in the Greek peninsula are dry and barren, and not good for growing crops! 

So that means...

PERSEPHONE IS ACTUALLY LIVING IN THE UNDERWORLD DURING THE SPRING AND SUMMER because that is when Demeter is missing her!

Hi! I made this a few months ago for a Facebook group, but I thought that I should share it! 

A few notes...

I used textbooks with which I am familiar

I listed Oxford Latin Course and Oxford Latin Course-College Edition separately as they are VERY different
