Cobwebby English and 90s phrasing

You've got to laugh at Hornblower's comments on a few words chosen by Steven Lattimore in his translation of Thucydides. One as being to his ears "cobwebby english" and the other sounding too like it's from the 1990s (instead of the 400s BCE)!

Classical Philology

I just love academics. No matter how dry they are accused of being, you always find articles such as this racy one. Nestled among the other search results, I found:

I am yet to read it, but the title alone is enough to excite, no?!!?!!
Don't ask me what philology is though, no clue.
This is also an interesting article on women in classical Greece that I stumbled upon. Heilbrunn Timeline is a great website FYI.

The mentioned article is from: Classical Philology [Journal], Vol. 103, No. 2, (April 2008).
