I've just signed a contract with Liveright Books (an imprint of Norton) for a translation of Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations," with intro and notes. I know, I know, the poet with the spazziest mind translating the Emperor with the calmest mind. No doubt it will be good for me.

"The limitless wrath of Achilles can end only once he recognizes that no absolute, permanent victory is ever possible. Everyone must bear unbearable losses, for which no compensation could ever be enough. In the end, we all lose. ..."

" ... Our best hope is to accept partial, temporary limits on conflict, accepting human companionship and community as our only, always inadequate, compensation for the pervasive experience of loss."

What's all this about "western culture" vanishing, the "neglect of the classics," and all that goomy chatter? Here it is, fresh as ever, the great wellspring. The gods and heroes, cleansed, revitalized My fall reading is set. It's never too late to start over from the beginning

“[A] surprisingly moving exploration of the courage required to play life’s many roles. Berlinski deserves a standing ovation for this bravura performance.” publishersweekly.com/978-1-324-0952…

"Oh, you've never read The Odyssey???" Your timing is perfect. Emily Wilson's translation is the best one in literally ages, has that sweet iambic pentameter to give it a "bouncy" feel, & makes dudebros cry that the classic has "gone woke". 😁

Thrilling discovery of a #Pompeii bathhouse! I'm also enthusiastic about the earrings which are of a style called 'crotalia'. They were v fashionable in the 1st century and made little rattling noises as the pearls swung together. Moralist Pliny hated them bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
