There is a comet (67P) of which every area is named after an Egyptian god! space.com/29980-rosetta-…. Fascinatingly, some names are not arbitrary, e.g., Hapi for the middle section (like the Nile). The probe giving us information about the comet is, tellingly, called 'Rosetta' <3

I'll definitely be attending this!

Thank you Milwaukee airport for accurately naming that place right after you get through security.

Our students were the stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️at the Australian Research on Ancient Greek Language MQ-USyd conference last Friday– Mark Matic, Emmanuel Roumanis and Samuel Wessels - Trevor Evans is looking pretty proud! Macquarie University History and Archaeology Trevor Evans Next stop Oxford (where Sam already is)! 😀👏

πορφύρα, ἡ (porphyra) —purple-fish, Murex trunculus and Purpura haemastoma —purple dye obtained from it —in plural, cloths of purple —purple stripe or other adornment of a garment

I am reading a peer review of a paper of mine - the reviewer claims that I have misunderstood Kasperski's argumentation from his paper published in Fruhmittelalterliche Studien. Good to know that I have misunderstood myself 😁

Check it out! I'll be teaching Greek here again - it's a great use of a week of a week of your summer if you're interested in ancient languages.

To anyone interested in learning Koine Greek (Biblical Hebrew, Hieroglyphic Egyptian or Old Persian for that matter) just sending out a reminder that Trevor and I will be teaching Koine via Zoom for MALS from 8-12 of Jan! More info: mals.org.au/current-progra…

Very interesting to learn that I have scientifically Greek feet.

Reposting a bit late, but there's still plenty of time to enrol in MALS. I'll be teaching Continuing Beginners Greek this time! Any of MALS' programs are a really great way to spend one of your holiday weeks, if you can spare it!

Still time to enrol for the MALS Winter Week via mals.org.au, but the clock is ticking. Spots still available in most Greek and Hieroglyphic Egyptian classes and in Advanced Latin.

I've been working with MALS (mals.org.au) for a year now, and I'm really excited to be co-directing PALAIA (palaiamq.com) with some of my fellow MALS tutors and with the support of Trevor Evans. Hopefully we can help many students learn ancient languages!

I'll be speaking at this event. If you're at all interested in Ancient Language education I highly recommend you register for this hybrid event at the link provided!

Our group @PALAIAMQ has started our roster of Latin readings for this semester! Exciting stuff. instagram.com/p/C-j7RuLSm9k/… Trevor Evans

Looking forward to giving a talk on Ancient Language Self Study at this tonight!! Tune in with the zoom link if you're curious!
