Lovely walk up to old acropolis of Krane, one of the 4 ancient cities on the island of #Kefalonia. You can see in places where cart wheels have worn away the stone track over time.

From the #bronzeage onwards #piracy was prevalent in #Greece. Local people were often taken to be sold into slavery. The name of this village reflects such a violent past. Minies means "not the young women" and refers to a pirate raid.

New instance, new #introduction.

I am a mature-aged ancient history and classical languages student at the Uni of Queensland (in Brisbane, Australia). I've just completed two years of Latin, which I'm trying to maintain while I start ancient Greek in 2023.

The broad plan is to pursue postgraduate studies in the next few years, depending on the day job and other commitments.

Watching Call Me By Your Name, one of my favourite films, tonight :). I particularly love the allusions to Classical history throughout the film.

Modern editions of ancient Greek texts are copies of copies of copies. They come to us via mediaeval copies, and a scribal tradition over many centuries. Are they a reliable guide to what ancient writers actually wrote?
