Froggy motivation for you all to be brave and take the big leap! There’s always a risk of things not working, but the possibility of growth and success is worth the risk!

another teacher grace moment i love is when rocky gives him the oxygen model he goes 'i dont have one of these thank you!' like that is THE most teacher response ever when a child gives them something utterly incomprehensible but made with love

[melissamceagle]

my favorite thing to come from the phm fandom is low res rocky. like yes that's a circle with five legs that's my boy.

call me terminally academia-brained but i do think a lot of the fun of character analysis is figuring out how to build a compelling argument for a particular reading using lines of evidence from canon as well as meta/intertextual support

[clementine-kesh]

and you could say that what i’m saying here is basically “a lot of the fun of doing character analysis is doing character analysis” but let’s be real a lot of fandom character analysis is pretty heavily vibes-based. and i think that’s where i really chafe up against the traditional thought-terminating fandom attitude of like, everyone’s opinions hold equal weight and any interrogation of that is inherently hostile. because i think it’s fascinating to dig into where others are coming from in terms of their views on characters or dynamics or whatever, especially when they differ significantly from more commonly expressed views, and part of that digging is asking people okay what parts of canon are you drawing from to support your opinion? what parts of canon are you disregarding or downplaying? how does this argument hold up in the light of how race, gender, class, ability, etc. operate both in the piece’s in-fiction and real world contexts?

everyone seems to be doing quite well

Resources for the Internet Classicist

I've been meaning to make a new pinned post for this blog with a few resources etc. for a million years and now I'm procrastinating so here it is.

Link to old pinned post (articles about racism and white supremacy in classics) here. I highly recommend checking it out.

Under the cut you will find a list of resources that I have found invaluable. Please put your own in the replies and reblogs!

Dickinson College Commentaries: Latin and Greek grammars, word lists, and intermediate level commentaries on ancient texts.

Perseus Digital Library and Scaife viewer: absolute classic. Ancient texts and dictionaries. You can click a word in the text and see its potential functions and its definition in a few different dictionaries. also will let you view some texts side by side with an English translation.

philolog.us: literally just Lewis and Short, LSJ, and Slater dictionaries imported from Perseus, but with a really simple interface that makes it the easiest online dictionary to use if you just want to look up a word.

Logeion and Morpho: Logeion lets you look up a word in Latin or Greek and see it in a ton of different dictionaries at once. Morpho will tell you all the possible forms for any given word.

Diogenes Viewer: app that basically does what Perseus does except you can download it. There's a web version with open source texts but to get the full benefit you need to have both the app and the TLG and PHI Greek and Latin text databases downloaded. Send an ask off anon if you want more information about those.

Haverford Bridge: vocab lists for selected texts. There's also a page with the tools they use to generate the lists so you can make your own.

johnstoniatexts: texts that Ian Johnston has translated and put online for free. It doesn't have everything but it has kind of a mind-boggling amount considering everything on here is translated by one person. The translations tend to be a little wordier than I prefer but it's still my first stop when I'm looking for easily accessible translations to recommend to people because I know they're fairly recent and reasonably well-done.

Geoffrey Steadman: free early intermediate level commentaries in Latin and Greek. If you use them and have the means please consider giving him a couple dollars!

PHI Latin Texts: lots of Latin with word + author search functions.

theoi.com: theoi has source material in translation for a number of gods and mythical figures. They don't have everything but if you're looking for every story with x god it's usually a decent place to start.

Intermediate Ancient Greek Language: free open source Greek textbook covering Greek in more detail than your intro textbook/course.

This list is not comprehensive and I will probably keep adding to it!

Also if you're looking for anything feel free to send an ask and I'll see if I can find it and/or poll the masses (everyone following this blog). Anon is off at least until I'm done with finals but if you ask to have it answered privately I'll honor that.

some that i use regularly include:

allen and greenough’s latin grammar on dickinson college commentaries (which you have already mentioned). specifically the indexes, for instances of ‘is this a specific weird verb use or am i stupid’

digital prosopography of the roman republic for quickly searching genealogical/prosopographical/dates of magistracies etc info for the roman republic. it’s like broughton’s magistrates of the roman republic but better

attalus, specifically their index of names and chronologies of sources

topostext, which maps primary sources onto. a map. of the ancient world

indexes to the works of ronald syme. you do have to download this one and it is massive and hurts my computer to search. but it is very useful if you are rummaging through syme
