Excellent!!!

A very underrated channel

A very clear introduction to Procopius. Interesting too.

Ovid's exile poems are so emotional; I can feel his sorrow and sadness in them, not to be allowed back to Rome. But who knows???

Profound teaching 👏

stop saying mmm!!! it's making my ears bleed!!

Very good but you forgot about the images...

beautiful discussion and description of OViD

Great talk

Alcibiades was a f**king METEOR!

Dead channel? Or active

Brilliant! And, excellent audio.

Prof Donald Kegan from Yale is also expert on this area. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much for an excellent questions and answers

Jason cannot be excused even for that time. Narcissist as well as Medea.

Fantastic lecture. Balanced, objective and informative. This would make a fantastic podcast series!

excellent talk on Josephus' life and the Jewish Revolt of 66-70

This is great! Very accessible and interesting without resorting to sensationalism. Would love one for Horace. We're doing Distance Learning here in the states and podcasts like this are so helpful to provide for students to prepare for their readings!

Did you record this in a large metal pipe?

Disappointing not to hear a word about Catullus' homoerotic poems, ever the spanner-in-the-works. Who would guess from this discussion that the man who presents himself as Lesbia's lover also presents himself as having boyfriends?

This is a wonderful find. This channel diserves a much larger following. Keep up the interesting conversations.

Thank you Professor Parker! Tremendously informative.

Thank you for uploading this, great insight, I do have however something to say about the translation. At tu Catullae destinatus obdura, the translation of Professor Gale speaks of toughening up, being tough, and I think Catullus being Catullus speaks more of being hard, in allusion to his manhood, obdura is quite literal.

Absolutely love each and every episode, thank you for such wonderful classical content,

Oh Erotia! But when I read it was Erotion and that one I thought he was talking about a child boy of one of his slaves; perhaps implicitly his own son, the verses seem to make more sense for his obvious grief that way.

Thanks for a great discussion which is both accessible, yet not dumbed down.

One of the magical science fiction ideas is to be able to travel back in time and record the old greek and roman works from the ancient libraries. But in the real world we are stuck with the fragments of works quoted by later writers, even centuries later. This is an interesting talk about how the fragments have survived in the works of later writers, and why they have survived. It is also slightly depressing to realise how many thousands of works have not survived, not even to the extent of a quoted paragraph.

Catullus still sounds modern 2000 years on, he's the father of Latin lyric (personal) poetry. Fascinating lecture by Professor Monica Gale, I wish I could attend one of her courses. Catullus' bisexuality might have been made clearer as this too makes his work modern and relevant to today's society. I feel very close to Catullus, who was our local poet in Italy where I grew up . I often went to Sirmione, and would highly recommend visiting the place where his villa was ("Grotte di Catullo"). Favourite poem: the one about Lesbia's pet sparrow, I think it goes, "Lugete O Veneres Cupidinesque..."

stop saying mmm at everything he says

Too much wrong with this cast .

Great video

Oscar, you ask some stupid questions!

I think there is a deficit in scholarship shown by implying that Alkibiades is guilty of defacing the Hermes. This would be a serious crime and just seems unlikely from someone of his class and being so close to Socrates. When he is tried in absentia by the mob it sounds like there were hundreds of Hermes actually vandalized. This lends a far greater weight to the theory that his political enemies ginned the whole episode up. The events that follow destroy Athens. If one thinks about it at all, the charges against both Alkibiades and Socrates smell to High Olympus. The age old meme that caused the most had wringing in Athens was debating which was worse: the tyranny of the few or of the many. I contend that it was the latter.

Fantastic discussion Sue is fantastic and holds your attention throughout plus she is very knowledgeable. I could listen to her all day please have her back to talk some more. Than you

The phrase often used is "hostages" about prisoners like Polybios. They were possibly being held/restrained as a warning to their families back in Greece.

Thanks for this. polyb my favorite. theopompus so white!

Brilliant, love listening to these

This is wonderful! Excellent questions and excellent scholarship.THANK YOU for bringing more Catullus to the mainstream :)

Let's democratize Spartan virtue.

Dr. Cartledge is a profound scholar of Sparta and the ancient Greeks; this is a wonderful exposition on these hardy folks. Thanks for the thorough and insightful examination here - a strong effort to sift the wheat from the chaff:) A good analysis of Thermopylae, but were they not betrayed there by a physically crippled man who showed the enemy a way to their back? Indeed (why the omission?) - let me quote from "Ancient Greece: A History in Eleven Cities" by Paul Cartledge (2009 - Oxford): a Malian "Ephialtes, who betrayed the Greeks at Thermopylae to Xerxes for money - and thus gave his name to the modern Greek word for 'nightmare' (200-201). Also would Professor Cartledge entertain the idea that the Spartans greatly resemble the Vikings, who also enslaved fellow related folks and also permitted great freedom and privileges for the women in their society? Thanks again to the good and smart people at Google - UA-cam - for posting such interesting, and diverse content. Yes the Nazi analogy is a good point. The Nazis tainted many conceivably good ideas - like Aryan too - which means "noble" if I recall correctly from Nietzsche. In any case we are democratic now - having moved to the best form of government; so I think today we have a wiser amalgam - taking the good from all forms that came before us. We have indeed involved in a moral sense - imperfectly of course, as Dr. Noam Chomsky articulates - two tracks - the up and the down patterns, but generally I would say the human race is moving forward.

What a pleasure to hear a young archaeologist's story. Thanks for posting.

Excellent stuff!

Macedonia was/is Greek!

Alexander was Greek!

Alcibiades tripped over is own feet too many times. Why did he never lead with one army. He would have been so much more successful. Alexander learned much from him and his exploits.
