As part of "OER Week," the Library is hosting an OER/Creative Commons Lunch Time Discussion.

Come with your questions on:

OERs and Open Access materials - like what is the difference between the two? and how and when you can use each?

Understanding Fair Use of materials

Where do you find OERs?

Flesh-Eating Mares of Diomedes

These flesh-eating horses belonged to Diomedes of Thrace and were captured by Heracles as part of his 8th labour. After Heracles killed Diomedes, he fed him to the horses, which quelled their desire to eat human flesh. They were presented to Eurystheus and eventually released to roam the wild. Alexander the Great's horse, Bucephalus, is said to be descended from this breed.
