Update

I've been absent for awhile, so I thought I would post an update (explanation and "what's to come").

I have spent the past week intensively finishing Herodotus.  I also have been pouring over many of the Lives from Plutarch.  Reading these gave me the idea to post up small anecdotes from the lives of these great men; they are amazing!  I have also just begun (and am almost finished) with the new book I ordered, entitled "The Culture of Classicism".

Coming Soon:

An anecdote from the life of Aristides (if only our politicians today could act as he did!)...
An article about Civic Militarism and modern Vice (in thanks to Victor Davis Hanson)...
A philosophy article from me (a new venture!)...
And a review of the play Cato, courtesy of Jeff.

Lot's to come before the week is out!  For now, I will leave you all with a beautiful quote from Cicero:

"Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to be always a child. If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge."
