apocolocyntosis - Profile (original) (raw)
on 24 July 2004 (#3928968)
Greetings and welcome!
This is 
apocolocyntosis, a community dedicated towards Classical Literature of every genre, era, and language. Everyone is welcome to join, from Greek/Latin students, professors, scholars, researchers, and college students, to weirdos who have a fond place in their heart for Martial's epigrams, Juvenal's satire, and Vergil's Big Fat Roman Epic otherwise known as The Aeneid.
Feel free to join and discuss the namesake of this community, the wonderful Apocolocyntosis of Claudius by Seneca the Younger, dispute any of the topics named in the first paragraph, and above all, worship the not-so-dead languages of classical Rome and Greece.
Please do not forget to introduce yourself, your occupation (teacher/student, etc), your level of study if a student, your favorite piece of classical literature that you've ever read in translation or the original dead language, and feel free to include something miscellaneous concerning the classics.
Please direct any questions, comments, observations, or lamentations to 1-800-
cette_vie. You may also contact the mod on AIM at handcuffed2verdi.
Ave'tque vale!
