My Speeches in Thucydides course starts this evening … with as much of Thucydides’ text as I can pack into 5 weeks! @ClassicsAcademy @Sarah404BC #Thucydides #AncientGreece #AncientRhetoric #Athens #Sparta #Classics
@KerryLPhelan @ClassicsAcademy @Sarah404BC The Landmark books are very good.
@KerryLPhelan @ClassicsAcademy @Sarah404BC I must admit I like Mynott's translation- but Hammond's translation is very good - very useful notes! :)
@KerryLPhelan @ClassicsAcademy @Sarah404BC Lovely!! Did you know that Ελευθέριος Βενιζέλος "translated" τον Θουκιδίδη? :) He started it in 1921, out of office.
@KerryLPhelan @ClassicsAcademy @Sarah404BC Greetings Kerry - I think this reads as a wonderful project. Classical authors’ retelling of speeches seem a great window into they and their world.
@KerryLPhelan @rogueclassicist @ClassicsAcademy @Sarah404BC The obvious joke: five weeks - is that two speeches?
