I’m on a bit of a western euro classics kick these days. I have a two-volume set of The Greek Myths from The Folio Society that I got 23ish years ago and never read, though I did read that Daulaires Greek Myths book when I was a kid. But in between the books I’m reading and documentaries I’m watching about Rome, I think I might read some Greek originals.
Maybe put some Polybius on tap next to Marcus Aurelius.
Serious #Downfall vibes in the series finale of #Rome. I’m not an educated classicist and I know they had to change things for the show and its collapsing budget by this point, but I’m a bit skeptical that the real story was like this.
No wonder people see this show as a precursor to Game of Thrones - I may get round to watching that. I’ll have to rewatch season 1 later.
I also just bought Ten Caesars and will read it soon.
