Science has allowed archeologists to read thousands of unreadable ancient Greek texts! So many new works!!!
That is VERY hip.
Think of all the awesome plays and stuff that they could dig up from in there... more Sappho poems.... a new Sophocles or Euripides... it could change our perception of the ancient Greeks in the literature or dramatic fields!
I didn't rip a dese, you rip a dese?
I'm still half asleep.
Hooray for the Geeks and Romans!!
/seriously though, this is really cool.

Fine. Can we have a pair of her panties?
If he's going to post a pic, I'd rather it be of them together instead of just her.
Soon, soon, I will have a picture.... and you'll all believe that I'm not making up a girlfriend to garner your sympathy.

I don't think anyone thinks that. We just want to see the one repsonsible for taking you away from Junto.
That said, seriously, if you don't want to post a pic then don't.

I can't speak for all, but I know that the part of theatre history that I liked the most was hearing about the architecture of their theatres and how it affected staging and relationships with the audience. I also liked the deus ex machina and the ekyklema (of which I've probably just butchered the spelling). The texts didn't interest me much, because the formats were too standardized. Aristotle can eat my ass with his "poetics".
Anyway, my point is this: Screw the texts. ;)
i liked the architecture stuff too. much more interesting than reading, say, plautus.
my class will be moving quickly past the poetics.

"The poetics is a detailed prescription for what 'drama' should be, written by a man who, though he claimed to be the greatest mind since Socrates, could not deduce the existence of gravity. So, that's the greeks. Unities. Vomit. Moving on to the middle ages..."

have you been looking at my notes??
i would only add two sentences. "aristotle also wrote 100 years following the theatre performances he describes, which would be like my having you write a very long essay on what you imagine to be the perfections of the engine of a new rolls royce as developed in 1906 - you could make some good guesses, but they would be basically useless as far as the study of history is concerned. as to roman theater, the name of the playright 'plautus' will be on your exam, so we can all add to the illusion that the roman theatre offers anything worth studying. now - moving on to the middle ages....."

I'm signing up. When is registration?
classes start august 28. and we're not reading any of those middle age morality plays, either. those we're acting out with finger puppets.

That soiunds like something I would say if I was teaching a class like this. Rock on.
