Everything you said is clearly wrong

Anyone have advice on where to get audiobooks? I'm looking for Jack Vance's work and it isn't available on pirate bay.Need to rip it to cd for a friends road trip

I really enjoyed my Classics degree and I plan on doing a PhD (I know I know, meme away). There is avenues for new scholarship, contrary to what the other anon said about translating Virgil and Cicero over and over again. Yes, some people will still do this but, at least in my case there is opportunity in Late Antiquity and Byzantine era studies. I focus on economic history and archaeology, both relatively open fields. There is always cool shit to dig up and lots of money from institutions to do it since it provides prestige for them. But as for economic historians studying that period, most come from the mainstream 'classical' or Chicago schools and have shit interpretations of what was happening. In regards to new translations: there is a massive corpus of Greek and Latin texts from church administration that are not translated at all. You just have to be flexible and find an avenue.

And why is that?

My supervisor is an renowned Byzantine archaeologist, so I can rid her coattails for an eventual job. I think supervisor matter more than the school, in Canada at least, though U of T is the exception

Finally, a good thread. Fuck op and fuck trannyfly.

WHOM'ST!?
