Om mig I am interested in ancient Greek culture, and particularly like reading ancient Greek. I work in a school library. I'm helping to run an after school Latin club and am also involved in organising the SJL BIG Challenge, which is to read 52 books in 2008.

Om mit bibliotek I especially like buying ancient Greek texts and translations. At the moment I've only catalogued my Greek and Roman books, though I still have a few more to add. I am also going to tag the books I read this year, though tag them as NIML (not in my library), if necessary.

I don't know what's happened with Redmond O'Hanlon. I found the first book of his that I read (several years ago now) unputdownable but I've really struggled with this one. Might give him a rest for a bit!
The Spatans aren't so pidgin, of course, in the original. But it's an exaggerated dialect in the original, reflecting the Athenian prejudices about Spartans--that they are somewhat stupid, unsophisticated and crude. I have seen them given anything from cockney to deep Southern to Russian dialects. But all of these real dialects carry their own baggage, which doesn't quite fit. So I made up something that is somewhere between Caveman and Cookie Monster...something that reflects the original, but without pretending it is an exact match for any current dialect. I think it also helps make them lovable even when they are being stupid...maybe the Cookie Monster connection works there.
Thanks for your interest. You can read an excerpt of the Lysistrata script (with some production photos) at http://www.untitledtheater.com/Lysistrat.... Is that helpful?

That's a striking image you're using above. Can you tell me what it is?
I've corrected the date, it's the 1960 one I have, imported books en masse, and haven't had time to correct all the entries. I used the Bristol Classical Studies books when I did Greek, and bought this to expand the work I was doing. Sadly I don't often get back to reading Greek or Latin, in the original anyway. Re-read The Ten Thousand when I was walking through France a couple of years ago, nothing like seeing other suffer more to make you feel better.
