Hello, world. The Colloquium Classics Lab is now up, and we have the initiation course "Initium" up and ready in the classroom. As you join, please enrol in the course, follow the steps, and bit by bit let's grow and each other learn and grow in truth, justice, and wisdom!

Hi, my name is Matt, and what draws me to the ancient world is a fascination with the stories being told, and how in many ways we aren't all that different from those who were alive then. People complained about politicians, men tried to out-do each other with "manly things", and it's a lot of fun finding out how different cultures expressed the same feelings as us, but in what seem to us really odd ways. My background is mostly in Old Norse, I'm working on Attic Greek and Latin very slowly, and am desperate to improve.

Hello all, Would anyone from this group value similar readings of this or other works? And any constructive comments are welcome, e.g., what do you like? what would you tweak? what would you change? εὐχαριστῶ!

Hi, my name is David. What draws me to the ancient world is understanding people who spoke, thought, and lived thousands of years separated from myself, and reflecting on what is the same, different, and curious about it.
