Well, I'm back. Between my father having a stroke, moving, college (with intense studies in Greek and Latin), and the Military, I've had very little time to write. But it seems that I have now found a few spare minutes to share my experiences in the Classical World. I will probably stick mostly to short little excerpts of Classical Wisdom, and hopefully I'll bring back some more of that good old man named Aesop.
I'm currently re-studying the history of Ancient Rome, with an intense focus right now on the Kings (prior to the Republic). I've already shared a bit about Servius Tullius. There are also other kings who have many wonderful traits of their own. So be on the look out for something on people such as Numa.
For those of you who have continued to come back all of these months that I've been gone, I thank you. Hopefully I'll be able to bring you all many more valuable things.

Sorry to hear about your Dad, but I'm glad to see that you're still writing. Since it's been awhile, I'll mention it either today or tomorrow over at my blog.

Gus,
Thank you for your kind words. From what I've been reading, it seems as if you are still at the top of your game. I hope the best for you.

That's rough, about your dad, and I'm sorry. My best thoughts there...
Glad to see you back, though!

I hope your father is well.
Where are you studying the classics at? And how is it coming learning Greek and Latin?
I wish you luck.

Gaius,
Thanks for your concern.
I am currently studying Classics at Texas Tech University, which can be found at www.ttu.edu.
Latin I've been taking for quite some time, so I love it. Greek I'm fairly new to...and let's just say it isn't Latin ;). Greek is quite a monster to conquer.
