We’ll take any chance to talk about etymology! 😁 And if you haven’t listened to their related episode about Isidore, the great medieval etymologist, we heartily recommend it!

@AvenSarah It was so much fun, I’m glad we had an excuse to do it!

This was an extremely enjoyable conversation, thanks so much for having us, Chris & Suzanne!

In our recent episode on the Etymologies, I mentioned the ancient theory that 1 didn’t count as a number, but I didn’t have time to get into why. And now YouTube recommends this video to me, which explains the history in the first few minutes. Nice!

We don't have an account at that other site (yet), but Chris does, in case you're migrating and want to keep tabs on us.

They left out the A in Basky for some reason, but I'm glad my cat has a social network on the internet.

And now, the episode that three of you were waiting for, the one where we read an encyclopedia! Oh, but Isidore's Etymologies are so much more than that — maybe we'll convince that this book is something special.

100 gets all the attention, but 101 is also a nice number. It’s palindromic, it’s prime, what’s not to love?

Happy #Bloomsday! We celebrate the 100th anniversary of James Joyce's Ulysses by taking a look at this massive omniumgatherum of a book. Mrkrgnao! megaphonic.fm/spouter/57

In our new episode, we look at Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy. It's got poetry, it's got prose, it's got autobiography, it's got neoplatonist philosophy. What more could you want?

New! We look at the erotic — and therefore devotional? — lyric poetry of The Song of Songs. And we also take a peek at some of the medieval commentaries on the poem, which also get spicy...

@AT_Ancient Oh, sort of! In the past we’ve organized around mini clusters on a topic. This year we’re doing a chronological… well, not a survey, just a ramble.
English
@TheSpouter Isn’t that every year on the podcast? It’s helped me discover great works, both older and more recent, so keep up the great selection!
English
@AT_Ancient Someday! This year we’re traipsing through time from Gilgamesh to today, but I’d love to talk about more Greek drama in the future.
English
@TheSpouter There’s got to be a way to work that and a few other tragedies into the podcast schedule.
English
@AT_Ancient @austin_glock That Hekabe might be my favourite though.

@austin_glock If you’re interested at all in her translations of Antigone, this month’s episode of @TheSpouter had some interesting things to say about them

In the latest episode of The Spouter-Inn, we take a look at the classical Greek tragedy Antigone by Sophocles, in Anne Carson's translations. And we consider its exploration of what we owe each other, including what we owe the dead. megaphonic.fm/spouter/66

@TheSpouter I look forward to hearing why you’ve concluded we owe each other a cat paw to the face😂

@doomquasar Thank YOU! Such a fun and smart video, and such a roller coaster ride between topics.
English
Friend of the show @doomquasar made a video about games based on The Great Gatsby (and about copyright overreach). Absolutely check it (and the games) out!

@SophusHelle @BackCampusGreen @homophonous Thank you so much, both for the kind words and for the translation!
