He’s hot! I would grieve too 💔

I adore Sylvia Plath, but always feel like there’s a huge depth to her poetry I’m not quite reaching because she was so knowledgable about classics and her literary predecessors. I’d read her poem “Purdah” soooo many times, and never felt any emotional connection to it until I read “The Oresteia,” and recognized Plath’s allusion to Clytemnestra. Suddenly a world of meaning opened up. It is totally worth it to read the classics just to enjoy art you already enjoy even more.

Erasmian "Greek". It's a joke.

Thanks from sharing this content, greetings from Brasil :) 🔹

Tom Holland literally repogramming the minds everyone he speaks to...

I wonder why your book ends its survey in 1939. It would be interesting to know if working-class troops read the classics during the war. Your cut-off date also precludes attention to the impact of Penguin Classics (founded by E.V. Rieu in 1944), whose remit was to make good translations of the classics available in cheap paperbacks. Coming from a working-class family and having attended a secondary modern school in the late 1960s and early 1970s, my reading of Penguin Classics was the beginning of my self-education in classical literature. I eventually taught English at Strathclyde University and one of the Honours classes I devised and taught was Classical Literature in Translation. I have fond memories of the great enthusiasm and insight that the students brought to reading and discussing the set texts: Homer, The Iliad, tr. Robert Fitzgerald, ed. G. S. Kirk (Oxford, 2008), Homer, The Odyssey, tr. Robert Fagles, ed. Bernard Knox (Penguin, 1996), Sophocles, Antigone, Oedipus the King, and Electra, ed. Edith Hall and tr. H.D.F. Kitto (Oxford University Press, 2008), Virgil, The Aeneid, tr. Robert Fagles (Penguin, 2006), Ovid, Metamorphoses, tr. David Raeburn (Penguin, 2004).

I’m here from TikTok! Can someone please forward me the transcript? Thanks VM.

William Shakespeare would not been famous if he had not read the Greek classics. The myths and legends told in classical literature were the popular stories in their times and relevant today as they cover all human emotions.

Nonsense conceptualizing of the term "religion".If you search in a an arab-english dictionary the translation of the word "deen" you'll obtain "religion", but that's not the exact equivalent in the islamic faith,cult, whatever.That does it mean that Muslims doesn't have a religion? Obviously not. So the same with ancient greeks.The map is not the territory.

I hate this teacher🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Respect from music group from Thiva..Thanks for the price

wow fantastic 😊

Pure words you are such an amazing woman🎉🎉🎉😊

Yo I recognise all the teachers in my school

That was a real treat.

No . Yet Vedic teachings to impart character building, social habits to live in harmony etc did exist as far as I know. Our Vedas and Upanishads don't have the word RELIGION IN THEM. YET SPIRITUALITY did exist in various forms and discipline disciplines. Hinduism was given to INDIANS after the foreign investors pushed themselves into our GREAT LAND . WHICH IS VERY SAD

I'm writing in a state of despair and discontent about my disadvantageous life. And I have tried remedies from philosophy and stoicism to soothe my unfortunate pains, with negligible success. I have the following question from Professor Graying whom I watched most of his lectures and read his books: Would he still talk about tranquillity and virtuous life, if he was born in a desperate family and world? It is much easier to be virtuous in the English intellectual world and talk about virtue, not in a peasant family with a burden of 5 eternal dependents. having said that I still continue to learn about stoic remedies to misery.

Now he must talk about the spider God

If you are lower class or middle class then do a useful stem degree like mathematics, electrical engineering, medicine, dentistry etc if upper class and loaded then sure do classics

😊

Its a shame you couldn't have provided Tom with a microphone. It's too difficult to listen to unfortunately.

It's so nice that in an age where so many schools are teaching woke nonsense and pronouns that some schools are teaching kids, especially poorer ones, things that really matter. You also see that when given the chance, the young people excel.

The thing that struck me about this, and something that the kids themselves allude to, is that it will help them learn other languages. Children in the UK are, for the most part, not taught any English grammar, and this negatively impacts their ability to learn any other languages because they do not understand the basic building blocks of human communication. Learning Latin or Ancient Greek requires a clear engagement with grammatical concepts and, aside from being great for the children's cognitive development, will mean it will be miles easier for them if they choose to study languages later on.

Excellent

Tom holland is a bigot!...................he spreads islamophobia based on lies!

no way ancient greek music sounded like a western european church choir! ancient greek music sounded more middle eastern!

What program and how can I purchase?

AC has such a tiny brain to actually think we got all this naturally on its own. The 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. It is clear creation had to be done supernaturally at some point yet it is still denied because people are just too proud to accept that, among other things.

OMG MY FAV TECAHER IS ON THERE WHATTT! miss Phillips is my teacher and I’m not just saying this but she’s truly the best person in the world, she is adored by everyone and she will do anything to make her students happy, especially me as I always get bullied and she makes me feel so much better. I’m gutted I’m in y11 and have to leave her soon ;(

Who's the satirist angry at? What's the target? Juvenal complained about new Romans - forward women, Greeks especially tutors, rising millionaires not the old class. When I read Juvenal, I was reminded of Private Eye. Under Hislop it's become milder but it would rather attack the stupid people who support Princess Diana than those who stand by the idea of monarchy (for whatever reason). You can attack an idea (Menippean satire) or a person or all stupid people. Satirize Trump because he's vulgar or the Constitution because it allows a President to declare a war. Define satire by what's the target?

Thanks so much for posting.

What I really love about this demonstration and reconstruction that it shows music that feels alive, instead of sterile and only reconstructed. Absolutely stunning lecture and performance, I greatly enjoyed it!

I love the lament from 'Alcestis' at 41:07. It reminds me of the "nightingale" arias in Baroque opera, which would feature an elaborate flute accompaniment imitating birdsong.

Classics are Very Demanding, yet, then (once 1 is in), Truly (and, actually, Overly)--Gifting. Kindly, &AA*.###

I got into the Classics as a result of y father insisting that I learn Latin, despite never having done so himself. Best favour he ever di me.
