So a senator in Late Republican Rome is running late for the day’s session of the senate. He comes into the senate chamber about 15 minutes late, and Cicero is out the front giving a speech. The senator quietly sits down next to one of his friends, and asks “Have I missed much? What’s he talking about?” To which his friend replies:”I haven’t got a clue, he hasn’t even gotten to the verb yet.”

A Greek man walks into a tailor’s shop holding a pair of trousers. The tailor takes the pants and holds them up, turning to the man and he says “Euripides?” “Yes,” the man responded, “Eumenides?”

caligula had anime eyes
wait romans painted their marble sculptures
it looks like a cheap theme park ride mascot
yep
here’s a statue of Augustus
and here’s a reproduction of the statue with the colors restored
i honestly think that what we consider the height of sculpture in all of Western civilization being essentially the leftover templates of gaudy pieces of theme park shit to be evidence of the potential merit of found art

Do you want to cut down on your use of adverbs? How about passive voice? Wish there was something that made them jump out at you when you’re writing?
Good news! There is! Hemingway does all of that and some more. Best of all, it’s free for the online version!
The usual caveats apply. It doesn’t catch everything. You shouldn’t rely on any one tool exclusively. You still need to edit and proofread. With all of that said, it’s a handy tool to have in your utility belt.
Lembas Bread (Lord of the Rings “authentic” Elvish bread)
Ingredients:
2 ½ cups of flour 1 tablespoon of baking powder ¼ teaspoon of salt ½ cup of butter 1/3 cup of brown sugar 1 teaspoon of cinnamon ½ teaspoon honey 2/3 cup of heavy whipping cream ½ teaspoon of vanilla
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425F. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and mix with a well till fine granules (easiest way is with an electric mixer). Then add the sugar and cinnamon, and mix them thoroughly.
Finally add the cream, honey, and vanilla and stir them in with a fork until a nice, thick dough forms.
Roll the dough out about 1/2 in thickness. Cut out 3-inch squares and transfer the dough to a cookie sheet.Criss-cross each square from corner-to-corner with a knife, lightly (not cutting through the dough).
Bake for about 12 minutes or more (depending on the thickness of the bread) until it is set and lightly golden.
***Let cool completely before eating, this bread tastes better room temperature and dry. Also for more flavor you can add more cinnamon or other spices***
as someone who has baked these A LOT
They are REALLY GOOD
and I am reblogging this because I KEEP LOSING MY RECIPE
Fuck yes. Now the real question is… Will they fill my stomach in one bite?

Just a quick note to inform all Romantics and Victorianists about the absolutely splendid new resource launched recently by the British Library, making over 1,000 manuscripts and publications available online. Blake, Austen, the Brontës, Tennyson, Shelley, Keats, Carroll, Dickens, Wilde, and so on and so beautifully on. Carrollians look this way for The Nursery Alice, under Ground and vol. 4 of Carroll’s diaries. x

I’m working in my university archives this summer, and I keep finding hilarious gems in old yearbooks’ funny pages. This one is a painful Latin declension joke from the 1940s.
everyone thinks ancient classical literature is serious ponderings on the meaning of the universe and yeah some of it is but most of it is just “lol butts”
