Re: Streamlining the forum etc.
Absolutely - very good idea.I have to say that I'm not aware that anyone has used our e-mail addresses for spam, but as you never know when someone *will*, it's a good idea to guard against it.Nice one!Marcus

Re: HBO Miniseries Terminated
I think it's sad news about the miniseries - I reckon they might have done a pretty good job of it.I've heard about these T-shirts, and I have to admit that I would definitely purchase one.I'll have to do a bit of searching!All the bestMarcus

Re: alexander artefacts
Crikey, Tre, I'm not sure that I can! I always defer to *you* on the artefacts question!I have to admit that I get more and more confused about who is supposed to be buried in the various Vergina tombs - but I think you're right that the Greek government is unlikely to change their current view.Actu...

Re: ISOCRATES
That's true, John. Still, it didn't stop Pyrrhus from popping over and whooping their backsides in the early 3rd century, did it?If I recall correctly, the Trojan business didn't really start until Virgil wrote Aeneid. I suppose the legend could have been around for much longer, though. Of course, i...

Re: ISOCRATES
Well, John, Roman *legend* said that they were Trojan refugees - supposedly descended from Aeneas who, being under Aphrodite's protection, was able to escape from Troy. But that was just legend, in the same way that the (pre-Anglo-Saxon invasion) Britons were said to be descendents of Brutus (the so...

Re: STRABON
Darn it, Nick... I can't find fault with any of that posting . Nope, agree with everything you say there. I reckon that, had he wanted to, Philip could have completely crushed Athens after Chaeronea. Maybe he even wanted to (heck, I would have done were I in his position) but he was too consummate a...
