Posted on Friday: January 31, 2020 by Michael Hendry

I haven’t posted anything in almost three months, partly because half the site was not working for six weeks (December 16-January 28) and I could not figure out why (a server move and PHP ‘upgrade’ made my main text database … Continue reading →

Posted on Monday: December 31, 2018 by Michael Hendry

Years ago I read (or perhaps someone told me) that Livy uses the word ‘o’ only once in his thousands of extant pages, in his account of the rape of Lucretia in Book I, and that no one had noticed … Continue reading →

I’m Back

Posted on Thursday: June 28, 2018 by Michael Hendry

After two months of work-related non-posting, and two months of (partially) recovering from a disc crash, I am finally more or less back. The problem with the latter was not loss of data – my local computer repair shop saved … Continue reading →

Why Start with Persius?

Posted on Monday: February 17, 2014 by Michael Hendry
