I made this thread a month ago and I really put a lot of thought into it, which I enjoyed. Thinking back over the several years since I joined #ClassicsTwitter and now #ClassicsBluesky 🏺, I realise how much I've learned and how much I've grown in confidence with this material. Thank you all.

I think I've been out of the Greek game for too long. Plus my brain is mush after last week. So please help. In Theocritus Idyll 2.143, ἐπράχθη τὰ μέγιστα, καὶ ἐς πόθον ἤνθομες ἄμφω, what verb does ἤνθομες come from? #Classics #ClassicsTwitter

#Classics #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient This might be a niche request, but if any teachers out there have set a project for students to create playlists of modern music to elucidate the themes in ancient poetry, would you be willing to share your assignment prompt?

#Classics #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient Hi! @DominicMachado1 & I will present tmrw on the 9-10:30am panel @ the @ClassAssnNE Annual Meeting on the @CHC_Classics restructuring of the intro Latin sequence this past year. Check out resources @ https://libatique.info/CANE2020/ 1/2

#Classics #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient Does anyone have an example of a prompt for a reverse translation assignment, where students start with a translation and analyze it against the original Latin/Greek? Trying to see if mine misses any opportunities or needs more detail.

#Classics #ClassicsTwitter Two very specific Greek morphology questions re: present participles. In present participles of -νυμι verbs, I know the accent is persistent on the -νυ-, but is the υ long? E.g., is it μειγνῦντες or μειγνύντες? 1/2

First video tonight (3/25) at 7pm EST! I'll get through about the first half of Book 1 (1-415) and give some details on how the rest of it will shake out. I'll probably stream via Youtube since it's the easiest way to do it from my laptop. Stay tuned for the link!
Thinking of doing a 15 day (live) video series where I read a book of Ovid's Metamorphoses (in Latin) per day. I've always loved the sound of Ovid's Latin, and stories about change and flux seem appropriate right now. Anyone interested? #Classics #ClassicsTwitter #TeachAncient

That is the dream, isn't it? I've just done an entire MA distance learning, and whilst it was great for my home schedule and my daughter, it was the wrong time for classicstwitter to go down the wazoo. A cozy common room amongst friends is just what the doctor ordered

#AcademicTwitter #Classics #ClassicsTwitter Any recommendations on project management apps or websites? Say I (generic "I", asking for uh a friend) have 2+ articles, a book project, and syllabi to write, and I want track what's finished, what needs to get done, etc., with each?

#Classics #ClassicsTwitter, what other queer or feminist receptions of Homer are out there besides Madeleine Miller's and Emily Hauser's books? Or queer/feminist receptions of other Greco-Roman works? Asking for, uh, a friend. @rmavirumquecano @apistone @ala_Camillae?

So I am now going to write the cover letter to submit this article manuscript (eeek!), and I have remembered that I have a blog post with my template submission letter (as it was, e-mail as it is now), so I figured I'd share it again in case it is useful. #academia #ClassicsTwitter

Writing a cover letter to a journal is a bit of a dark art (like so many aspects of academia), but after time and advice from more senior academics, I’ve got a template which I usually use wh…

Horace at Sermo 1.4.105 calls his father 'pater optimus.' Is there anything comparable, i.e., a quick one-word epithet, for an excellent mother in Latin literature? How about an excellent sister? #Classics #ClassicsTwitter

Ovidians / Classicists in general, any good secondary lit come to mind re: female communities and group mentalities in Latin lit? I'm being intentionally broad - anything from family to friendship to groups like nymphs, divinities, Bacchants, etc.? #classics #classicstwitter
