NEWS FROM MEMBERS 2005-6

BOISE STATE UNIVERSITY

       Professor Charles Odahl (Ancient History and Latin) was the banquet speaker for the conference of northwest Lutheran Pastors in the spring of 2005. He also led another "Ancient Capitals and Sacred Sites" Study Tour to Rome, Thessalonica, and Istanbul in the early summer, taking participants into many sites not open to the public (e.g., Hagia Eirene Cathedral and St. John Studion monastery in Istanbul). The four Latin students on the tour who received subventions from CAPN were most grateful for the monetary assistance). The 1st edition hardback of Dr. Odahl's book on Constantine and the Christian Empire went through two printings in 2004--05; and Routledge commissioned him to do an expanded 2nd edition which comes out in paperback this winter to commemorate the seventeenhundredth anniversary of Constantine's acclamation to the emperorship in 306--upgraded maps, new illustrations, and expanded notes and bibliography make up the bulk of the additions.
      Students from the BSU Latin Minor Certification Program have been placed in many Idaho high schools and private academies in recent years, including Marilyn Kennings, Carrie Jackson, Larry Stamps, Thomas Velasco, and Debbie Chester. Two recent MA graduates in Ancient History and Classical Languages, Kevin Cole and Aaron Campbell, have gone on to doctoral programs at the University of Virginia and the University of Arizona respectively. Matthew Recla and Joshua Haskett are completing their theses on Ancient History topics (the Martyrs of Sabeste and Hadrian's Wall) this year, and will also be going on to doctoral studies in the near future.
      This fall Professor Odahl helped host (and wrote a newspaper article about) the famed British religion scholar Karen Armstrong (A History of God, Jerusalem, etc.), who gave the university's "Distinguished Lecture" to a sold out crowd in October. The Boise community continues to have a healthy interest in ancient history, religion, literature and art; and the university courses in those subjects taught by Dr. Odahl in history and Dr. Lee Ann Turner in Art continue to fill to capacity each term.

EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

    As of September 2004 Dr. Georgia (Bonnie) Bazemore has replaced Fred Lauritsen in the History Department of Eastern Washington University.  In the summer of 2006 she plans to return to her dig on Cyprus, this time bringing several students with her.
    Prof. Bazemore writes,  “As Fred said, I have taken over his place in the History Department, and am now the official ancient historian here.  We have started our Classics Club here at EWU, in which we are now in our second year, and have 15 members, and a Latin tutor! a student who has been learning Latin with me and can now teach the class.  We are planning on attending as a Club the Portland Meetings in March, and at least two if not three of our students hope to present papers. We are looking forward to being active members of CAPN!”
 

GONZAGA UNIVERSITY

    Andrew Goldman (Gonzaga University) completed his second excavation season of the Roman town at Gordion, Turkey.  The 2005 field season was a successful one: the discovery of additional examples of Roman armor and projectile weapons has helped to confirm that the town was a minor military post, making the site the first excavated Roman military installation in Turkey.  Among his team of nine people were several Gonzaga students, who were taught field methodology and ancient history as part of their experience.  He'll be reporting on his recent finds in a lecture at the AIA-APA meeting in Montreal in early January.  He has also continued to bring in speakers (and is soliciting for more!) for the Archaeology and Ancient History Lecture Series at Gonzaga that he began last year.  A number of speakers have been booked during the Spring 2006 semester for the second year of the series; if you wish further information, please email Andy at: goldman@gonzaga.edu.  These lectures are free and open to the public.

LINFIELD COLLEGE

    Beverly Berg is still teaching ancient history part time at Linfield College in McMinnville Oregon, and taking students to Greece or Italy during January abroad.  She also works part time for Pirages Rare Books, writing the descriptions of contents for the catalogue, and generally telling them what the Latin means. She will be directing a two-week program, Magna Graecia, in southern Italy this coming summer for the Vergilian Society, and would love to see some CAPN members participate.

PACIFIC LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY

    Classics at Pacific Lutheran University continues to thrive.  Latin 101 regularly enrolls 20-25 students, and last year's Latin 201-02 class was the largest in the program's history.  This year Greek 101 enrollment reached capacity (25) and appeared--mirabile dictu!--among the list of  "closed" classes for the first time ever.  In terms of the program itself, developments in offerings (moving some courses into upper division and adding a "special topics" course) and the addition of a Classical Studies minor with three semesters minimum of language study are in the works.   Classics has also been working over the last two years to make PLU a partner with UPS and Willamette in the northwest consortium of the ICCS Rome Centro, and this seems to have finally been approved.  Our sincere thanks goes to Eric Orlin at UPS for his generous assistance in helping us convince our Wang Center, and to both him and Ortwin Knorr for their patience.  
    Both Rochelle Snee and Eric Nelson have been busy in their individual spheres.  PLU faculty have undertaken to revise the general education program, and Rochelle was asked to be a part of last year's Working Group on Principles of General Education that drafted and passed a guiding document through the faculty assembly.  This year, she was recalled from administrative seclusion as Augusta Perpetua to become acting chair of the Department of Languages and Literatures, overseeing a multi-lingual (Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Norwegian, Latin, Greek) and interdisciplinary (Classics, Scandinavian Studies, Chinese Studies) empire.  
    Eric Nelson, besides departmental ab epistulis, is chair of PLU's Instructional Resources Committee for the third year, which is close to finalizing a set of standards for classrooms and other learning spaces to be used in budgeting and maintenance.  He received a Kelmer-Roe Research Fellowship for '05-'06, which promotes joint faculty-student research activities in the Humanities, for work with student Steve Erbey (Classics/Biology).  They are presently working on Steve's capstone project, a historical look at epilepsy which seeks to lay part of its identification as the "sacred" disease with the experience of patients, especially those of temporal lobe epilepsy. This work is a part of a larger project involving a medical and cultural history of the role of the eye and facial expressions in the diagnosis of mental states.    This year also saw the publication of Eric Nelson's article, "Coan Promotions and the Authorship of the Presbeutikos," in Hippocrates in Context  [=Studies in Ancient Medicine 31] (Brill 2005), and a popular book The Complete Idiot's Guide to Ancient Greece (together with Susan K. Allard-Nelson, Penguin USA 2005) as a companion for his The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Roman Empire (2002).  Eric was also featured as a part of the History Channel's Rome: Engineering an Empire, which, according to the producer, was the highest-rated History Channel program this year and fourth in the channel's history with nearly 6 million viewers over two principal showings.  

REED COLLEGE

    The classics department at Reed has unusually large enrolments this year, which has been keeping us all busy.
    This year Walter Englert is teaching Beginning Greek, advanced Greek  (Thucydides), second year Latin (Virgil's Aeneid), and first-year Humanities. He gave two papers at conferences in 2005, one on "Seneca's On Providence and the Problem of Evil" at the April 2005 ACTC (Association for Core Texts and Courses) meeting in Vancouver, B.C., and one at the November 2005 PAMLA Conference at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA on "Ataraxia and Joy: Epicurus' View of Pleasure and Happiness."  He also wrote 19 articles on ancient atomists this summer for the "Biographical Encyclopedia of Ancient Scientists", forthcoming from Routledge, and is working on papers on Cicero, Seneca, and Epicurus. He was also the coordinator of the eighteenth annual Reed Latin Forum for Oregon and Washington High School Latin students and teachers in November 2005, and assisted the Classic Greek Theatre company stage a production of Euripides' Alcestis (in English) at the Reed College amphitheater in September 2005
    This year Ellen Millender is teaching Classics courses as well as first-year Humanities.  Her classes include a survey of Greek history from Homer to the Peloponnesian War, beginning Latin, and an advanced Latin course entitled "Views of Augustus," which focuses on the Res Gestae and Suetonius' Life of Augustus.  She is continuing to edit her book on Spartan women, which is due out the summer of 2006.  This summer she will present a paper on Xenophon's treatment of Spartans abroad at an international Sparta conference in Lyon and she is also writing an article on Thucydides' treatment of the Spartan King Archidamus II.
    Ellen Millender is now in her third year at Reed and is currently having tremendous fun teaching a course on barbarians that examines Greek and Roman constructions of self and other. She is currently editing a collection of essays on Spartan Women entitled Unveiling Spartan Women, for the Classical Press of Wales and Duckworth; her own essay in the volume is entitled “Women Behind the Throne: Wealth, Kingship, and the Making of Spartan Female Political Power.” She has also lectured on Spartan female political power before the Portland chapter of the AIA as well as at a conference in Sparta, and at the APA she co-organized a panel on Hellenistic Sparta. She has also finished a piece on Spartan mercenary warfare, which will appear next year and which she was lucky enough to deliver at a conference in Rennes in September.
    Alex Nice spent the summer in Rome attending the NEH summer seminar 'Roman Religion in its cultural context' under the direction of Professor Karl Galinsky. Aside from reviews for BMCR and Scholia, Alex's paper on Alexander the Great's resident prophet ('The reputation of the mantis Aristander') is forthcoming in a special issue of Acta Classica in honor of Professor John Atkinson. He also provided two lengthy contributions on Caesar's Gallic War Commentaries and Livy's Ab Urbe Condita for the collection 'Classical Literature and its Times' (currently in press). Alex is also teaching in Classics and Humanities, including a course on religious practices in the Spring.
    Nigel Nicholson has been busy organizing the Spring 2006 CAPN meeting and processing membership subscriptions, and represented CAPN on a panel at CAAS in October on the history of the regional Classical Associations. A book, Aristocracy and Athletics in Archaic and Classical Greece, was published by Cambridge University Press in August, and through a Reed grant that supported collaborative work with an undergraduate, Rachel Preminger, he has begin work on the relationship between Western Locrian identity and its athletes. Among his classes are a couple of new ones, on Roman Elegy (third-year Latin) and Xenophon’s Anabasis (Second-year Greek).
    As an Emeritus Professor, Dick Tron contributes to contribute the occasional class to the department; most recently he offered a Greek literature seminar

SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY

    At Simon Fraser University Christopher Morrissey is defending his  doctoral thesis "Mirror of Princes: René Girard, Aristotle, and the Rebirth of Tragedy", Friday, November 18, 2005.  David Mirhady is on sabbatical in the fall of 2005 and working on a project on Athens' Democratic Judges.

UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA

    The Department of Classical, NE and Religious Studies at UBC has appointed a new Head, Professor Roger Wilson who is currently Head of Archaeology at the University of Nottingham in the UK.  Prof. Wilson is a distinguished archaeologist known for his work on Roman Britain and his massive study of Roman Sicily.
    Prof. Podlecki has just published Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound  edited with introduction, English translation and commentary  published by Aris & Phillips (now oxbow Books), Oxford, United Kingdom.
    Hector Williams continued his work on UBC's projects at Mytilene and Stymphalos last spring and summer.  With Dr. John Hayes he continued the study of pottery and lamps from the Sanctuary of Demeter at the former site.  At Stymphalos with a team of geophysicists and palaeopathologists he continued a resistivity and magnetometric survey of the late classical city (work under direction of Mr. Ben Gourley, University of York, UK) as well as excavating new early Christian graves and studying the human remains from earlier seasons (work under direction of Dr. Sandra Garvie-Lok, University of Alberta).

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON

    In addition to serving in her second year as Department Head of Classics, Lowell Bowditch has published "Hermeneutic Uncertainty and the Female Subject in Ovid's  Art of Love," in eds. R. Ancona and E. Greene, The Gendered Dynamics of Latin Love Poetry  (Baltimore 2005) 271-295.
    The Department of Classics is especially pleased to welcome our new assistant professor José González.  His interests include Greek poetry (archaic to Hellenistic), ancient rhetoric and literary criticism, historical linguistics, and Greek dialects. His research focuses on the intersection between literary and other modes of social performance (such as religious rituals and festivals). I am particularly interested in the ways 'literary performance' (poetry and prose) serves the symbolic articulation of culture; and in the dialectic that obtains between the performer, his work, and his larger cultural matrix. Current projects include a study of the nature and function of the Homeric Hymns in the oral culture of ancient Greece; and an analysis of the connection that mimesis bears to performance.
    Jeff Hurwit has been active giving talks:  “The Uses of the Past on the Athenian Acropolis,” Art Institute of Chicago (Boshell Foundation Lecture), October 15, 2005;  “What’s Wrong with this Picture: The Dexileos Stele and the Problem of Heroic Nudity”
Portland State Univ., Dec. 2, 2005.  He has also recently published the volume “Periklean Athens and its Legacy” (Texas 2005), co-edited with Judith Barringer (University of Edinburgh) and an article "The Setting of the Parthenon," in J. Neils, ed., *The Parthenon: From Antiquity to the Present* (Cambridge 2005).
    Mary Jaeger has returned from a year's sabbatical, and is now teaching Greek (Lysias) and Latin (Caesar).  In September 2004, she visted UT Knoxville as the Haines-Morris Distinguished Lecturer, and delivered a talk titled: "Who Killed Archimedes? Anger, Grief and Regret in Imperial Narrative."  A highlight of the year was the spring quarter spent mostly at Victoria University, Wellington, with side trips to speak at Otago University in Dunedin and Canterbury University in Christchurch.  It was fun to be part of New Zealand's vibrant and active Classics community.  Among other projects, she is working on a paper on the classically-inspired poetry of Ruth Combellack, wife of the late Homerist, Frederick Combellack.  A plea to CAPN members who may have known the Combellacks: if you have any information about them, or memories of them, and are willing to share, please let me know.
    Malcolm Wilson has published an article on Aristotle and Galileo, “Autonomy and the Mistress Discipline in European Thought” in Engaging Europe (edd. Gould and Sheridan) Rowman and Littlefield, 2005.  He wrote the article for Aristotle for the Biographical Encyclopedia of Ancient Natural Scientists (forthcoming).  He spent the spring quarter with Mary Jaeger and their son Seth in New Zealand at Victoria University, and gave a talk on “Plato and the Internet” there, at University of Canterbury (Christchurch) and at Otago University (Dunedin).  H    e also gave a talk, “The Role of Per se Abstraction in the Unity of an Aristotelian Science” at the Canadian Philosophical Association meeting in London, Canada in May.


UNIVERSITY OF PUGET SOUND

    Aislinn Melchior will be presenting a paper on "The Crisis of Rhetoric in Sallust's Bellum Catilinae" at the annual meeting of the American Philological Association in Montreal on January 6.
    Ili Nagy is retiring after 18 years of extraordinary service to the Classics department (as well as her real obligations to the Art Department).  She is excited about being able to spend more time on her research in the coming years and will be quite active in the Classics community in the Puget Sound region.
    Eric Orlin contributed a chapter on "Urban Religion in the Middle and Late Republic." to A Companion to Roman Religion, which is being edited by Jorg Ruepke and published by Blackwell in the coming year (he hopes!).

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON

    Academic year 2004-05 was a good one for the department.  Twenty-one undergraduates received BAs in our four majors; four graduating seniors entered graduate programs in Classics; two graduate students completed MAs and two, PhDs; seven of our graduate students gave papers at conferences; six of our PhDs began tenure track positions; and five PhDs/ABDs received or renewed temporary positions outside of the UW.  Graduate student Eric Ross won three fellowships, two from the Graduate School and one from the Simpson Center for the Humanities;  Associate Professor Catherine Connors won a fellowship from the Simpson Center, our Assistant to the Chair Douglas Machle won a Distinguished Staff Award, and Alain Gowing was promoted to Full Professor.  What is more, our enrollments in Greek and Latin continue to be high: there are 66 undergraduates studying Greek this fall and 198 studying Latin.  We have fifty-two majors in the department: twenty-seven majors in Classics (Latin and Greek), two in Greek, seven in Latin, and sixteen in Classical Studies; there are also twenty-six students enrolled in our four minors.

The following reports describe some of the activities of the faculty:

Lawrence Bliquez published his essay "The Hippocratic Surgical Instrumentarium, a Study in Nomenclature" in Medicina nei Secoli as well as a translation of Aetius 16.44 for Women's Life in Greece and Rome (third edition).  Larry also made appearances not only at local High Schools, where he is always a great hit, but also on the Discovery Channel where he was a featured expert for the documentary on ancient plastic surgery.

Ruby Blondell gave a number of papers last year, including "Plato the 'Dramatist'," "How do you solve a problem like Medea," and "Always Look on the Bright Side of Death."  In addition to working on a number of projects, Ruby is on the Editorial Board of BMCR and AJP, serves as departmental Graduate Advisor, and is the treasurer of the Lambda Classical Caucus.

James Clauss saw the publication of two articles, "Vergil's Sixth Eclogue: The Aetia in Rome" and "Large and Illyrical waters in Vergil's Eighth Eclogue" and gave papers at his alma mater (UC Berkeley) and the APA.  Jim also appeared on two televised documentaries, one on Jason and the Argonauts and the other on the Odyssey, both produced by the BBC.

Catherine Connors published three articles: "Monkey Business: Imitation, Authenticity, and Identity from Pithekoussai to Plautus," "From Turnips to Turbot: Allusion to Epic in Roman Satire," and "John Barclay: 1582-1621."  Cathy won a Research Fellowship from the Simpson Center for the Humanities for 2005-06 to pursue her project on the topic of Roman Geographies.

Alain Gowing was promoted to full-professorship in 2005.  His book Empire and Memory.  The Representation of the Roman Republic in Imperial Culture was recently published by Cambridge University Press.  Alain serves on the Editorial Boards of CA and BMCR and holds the office of Secretary of the Advisory Council of the American Academy in Rome.  He also gave the Sixth Annual AIA/ Faculty Lecture at the UW on the topic of "Of Texts and Tombs: The Archaeology of Roman Memory."

Michael Halleran left his position as Professor of Classics and Divisional Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences to become the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Miami.  His many contributions to the department and college will be sorely missed.

Stephen Hinds's paper "Defamiliarizing Latin Literature, from Petrarch to Pulp Fiction" was published recently.  He also gave a number of papers around the world, including Oxford University and the Italian universities at Rome, Florence, and Arezzo on topics ranging from Ovid to Petrarch.  Stephen serves on the Goodwin Award Selection Committee for the APA and is on the Editorial Boards of AJP and SIFC.

Alexander Hollmann joined the faculty this fall.  Alex comes to us from Washington DC where he spent a year of research at the Center for Hellenic Studies.  His interests include Herodotus, Greek literature of the Classical and Imperial periods, Greek Religion and Ancient Magic.  His paper "A Curse Tablet from the Circus at Antioch" appeared last year.

Olga Levaniouk will see the publication of her paper "The Toys of Dionysos" in a forthcoming issue of HSCP.  In the Autumn quarter she taught at the University of Crete (Rethymno) and gave several papers during the year at the Universities of Athens, Crete, Victoria, and Bowdoin College.  Olga received a Loeb Library Foundation Grant last year and is Associate Editor of the Greek Studies Series of Lexington Press.

Timothy Power's paper "The Politics of Polychordia: Ion of Chios Fr. 32W" will be published in the coming year.  He is currently working on a number of other projects, including fourth century BC dithyramb and a book-length study of the culture of Kitharoidia.  Tim is Associate Editor of the Greek Studies Series of Lexington Press and is the volunteer coordinator of an ESL program for Vietnamese immigrants.

Sarah Culpepper Stroup has two papers in press ("Invaluable Collections: The Illusion of Poetic Presence in Martial's Xenia and Apophoreta" and "Making Memory: Ritual, Rhetoric, and Violence in Roman Triumph") and another forthcoming ("Greek Rhetoric Meets Rome: Expansion, Resistance, and Acculturation").  She delivered a paper on "Cicero's Tusculan Villa and the Roman Literary Imagination" at a conference at Stanford.

EMERITI

Pierre MacKay attended a conference in Chalkis where he spoke about the Dominican priory built in 1250, transcribed reports of the Medieval Venetian government on Greece, and completed a paper on Thermopylae.  Daniel Harmon spent time during the autumn studying archeological sites near Rome and Naples and offered a graduate seminar on archaic and early Republican Latin last summer.  Paul Pascal reports that he still enjoys retirement, though he does find time to give the occasional lecture on the Dies Irae and Latin Inscriptions in Seattle.


WENATCHEE VALLEY COLLEGE


Stephen Berard recently published a book in Latin about quantum physics.  Information can be found on the "Boreoccidentales" site at http://www.wenval.cc/boreoccidentales/boreo_latin/boreo_cataracta_latin/
04.asp and on the publisher's site at
http://users.skynet.be/Melissalatina/ .   He would also like to announce next summer's
spoken-Latin Conventiculum Vasintoniense, which will be held on the
University of Washington campus.  Descriptions in Latin and English can
be found at
http://www.wenval.cc/boreoccidentales/boreo_latin/conventiculum.asp .


WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY

Ortwin Knorr was elected Chair of the Classical Studies Program in October. He has just submitted his first positions request, for a tenure-track position in Ancient History: Wish us luck!   Ortwin continues as AIA Salem Program Coordinator and is proud to report record attendance numbers for the first three lectures of this year: more than 100 listeners for Bonnie Effros (SUNY Binghamton) on Merovingian graves, 68 for Patrick Kirch (UC Berkeley) on „The Origins of Maori Culture,” and 81 for Susan Alcock (U Michigan) on „Roman Power Lunches in the Eastern Roman Empire.”  In addition, Ortwin recently had a great time giving a talk on Terence at the University of Oregon and has an article on Terentian metatheater in a forthcoming Zetemata volume.
         Mary Bachvarova, our resident Hellenist and expert in all things Anatolian, is currently awaiting the publication of five articles. In January 2006, she is scheduled to speak on „"Milesian Tales at a Mycenaean Feast: Deer-Hunting, Ismenian Apollo, and the Hittite LAMMA Gods" at the Mycenaean Thebes Conference at Concordia College. In March, she will present a talk entitled, "Defining the SIR3 Genre: Its Formal
Characteristics and the Implications for our Understanding of the Plot of the 'Song of Release'," at the 216th Annual Meeting of the American Oriental Society in Seattle.  Mary has spearheaded a successful grant to organize the first-ever Oregon Undergraduate Conference in Classics at Willamette, and currently plans to
hold this conference in Fall 2006.
    Scott Pike, a geoarchaeologist who started this fall at Willamette in Environmental and Earth Science, and his Greek colleague, Olga Palagia (University of Athens), have just received a rare permit to analyze a fragment from the late 5th Century BC frieze of the Temple of Apollo Epikourios at Bassae, Arcadia, in the National Museum in Athens, Greece. Scott is an expert on the provenience of ancient marble. With the help of the Mediterranean White Marble Database, Scott expects that he can trace the marble from this frieze back to the very quarry where it originated,
and he anticipates reporting the results of his study at the 9th International ASMOSIA conference this June in France.
      Last, but not least, Visiting Assistant Professor Michael Williams is doing a great job teaching elementary Latin, a survey of Roman history, and an interdisciplinary writing-centered freshmen seminar on „War and its Alternatives”. His manuscript, „Authorised Lives: Christian Biography between Eusebius and Augustine”, under contract with Cambridge University Press, is almost completed. He has all our support for his job interviews this year at the APA convention in Montreal, but frankly, we wish we could simply keep him.

MEMBERS AT LARGE

    Brian Lavelle (presently of Loyola University of Chicago) writes: “I am unsure if I communicated this before, but my book, "Fame, Money and Power:  the Rise of Peisistratos and 'Democratic' Tyranny at Athens" was published in January of this year by the University of Michigan Press.  I attended "Archilochos and his Age," the Second International Conference on the Archaeology of Paros and the Cyclades, October 7-9, 2005, and gave a paper then entitled "The Servant of Enyalios."
    Mike McKeehan who's taught in the public schools in Cheney for the past 25 years and taught Latin every chance he had is retiring at the end of this year.  The past three years he has taught Cheney's elementary gifted program and had some great Latin students.
    Lorina Quartarone (the University of Saint Thomas, Saint Paul, MN) spent
much of the summer travelling in Europe, where she gleefully tried out her new digital camera.  She is happy to report that she now has an extensive foundation for her digital image library comprising shots from Rome, Athens, Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi, Corinth, Epidaurus, and various museums in Greece and Germany.  This semester, she is teaching elementary Latin and enjoying creating a new course that she will teach next semester, "Perspectives of Gender in Antiquity," the proposal for which earned her a course release
funded by the Luann Dummer Center For Women Curriculum Development Grant. Her article "Teaching the Aeneid through Ecofeminism" will appear in CW Winter 2006, and her review of "Vergil, Philodemus and the Augustans" by David Armstrong, et al., which appeared in BMCR last spring, is visible at http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2005.04.64.html. She also delivered "Furor and Irony in the Aeneid" at the last joint CAPN/CACW conference last February.
    Dr. Thomas Talboy is now writing the online course in Greek Drama for the
University of London, Royal Holloway.  The course takes advantage of emerging internet technology to reach a broad audience of distance learners. and will consist of online lectures, email and chat components.  By reaching such a diverse audience, Dr. Talboy also hopes to trace the performance of Greek Drama throughout the world.
