I realize now that to most ppl outside my specific circle of classics fandom this is not in fact any less weird

[lorddeathofmurdermountain]

Are these mfrs writing horny fiction about Cato

[grecoromanyaoi]

oh you dont know the half of it

[catilinas]

actually. your 20s are about joining conspiracies and getting good at oratory and your 30s are about being elected to successive magistracies and climbing the cursus honorum and your 40s are about becoming consul of rome and then going off to govern a province. and then being prosecuted for all the extortion you did

Wool & lana

The word lana (wool) in languages such as Spanish is etymologically related to English wool. For words to be related, they don't have to look like each other. Instead, you have to be able to trace them back to the same ancestor through regular sound changes - and that's what linguists managed to do with wool and lana. The infographic shows the Germanic and Romance family trees of these words.

Not to sound like a boomer but The Olympic Games really aren’t what they used to be. Where’s the nudity? Where is the chariot racing? Where is the oxen sacrifice in the name of Zeus?
