Last time we looked at the Villanovan period of Rome. Now, we're looking at some Grecian stuff. Let's look at some temples and talk about the religion associated with them. *turns off lights and puts up slides*

Homweork: Write me a small paragraph about the Parthenon's archaeological significance. What was it made for? What mythological scenes appear on the friezes and metopes? And don't forget to hand in any missing assignments.

Since there are only four of us now, I thought it would be kind of fun to spend the next few weeks looking at some key passages in Herodotus' Histories and look at the propaganda aspect of his work. Since we're not here to translate, I got the best translation I could find.

Homework: Read Book 1 by Monday. ((OOC: Don't worry about it. I'm not reading it in its entirety, so you don't either O_o)) And hand in any assignments that are missing.

Beka stalks in looking like a wet cat. But it's Dr. Jackson's class, so she's carrying two large cups of very hot coffee of the best kind and as soon as she sees "Special delivery." It's not him she's mad at, so she pouts instead of snarling.

Teh cute! Thank you once again, Ms. Valentine. *He takes the coffee and starts turning out the lights*

*slips into the back of class*

*writes down homework*

*note to self: find out office hours, get homework to makeup, avoid detention*

Waits for class to be over to ask...

*pokes D*

*whispers* Hey. I love this class.

Thomasina arrives at the anthropology classroom on time and slips into a seat towards the middle-back of the room. She is organised, as always, and when she sees that the slide projector is once again set up, she happily opens her exercise book in preparation for taking notes on another series of interesting images.

Sonia finds her seat and begins taking notes, per usual. She perks up a bit at the mention of Athena.

LINGUISTICS

Re: LINGUISTICS

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Question about the text...

How come they couldn't write that in... you know... real English. I mean, if you're going to bother translating it...

Re: LINGUISTICS

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

To spite everyone reading it. It's very difficult to translate Greek so that it's easy to understand and yet still contain the same meaning that the original author intended.

[OOC: Trust me, I know *headdesk* Translating Pausanias makes my eyes bleed]

HOMEWORK [ON-TIME]

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Comment here to hand in homework for next class.

Re: HOMEWORK [ON-TIME]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory turns in both her linguistics and Greco-Roman assignments, pretty sure that she did quite well.

Re: HOMEWORK [ON-TIME]

[medusae-x.livejournal.com]

Duce turns in her homework and did very well.

Re: HOMEWORK [ON-TIME]

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Beka hands in a neatly written essay about the Parthenon, dedicated to Athena Parthegenos, the virgin-birthed daughter of Zeus, who is the goddess of war and wisdom, patron of Odysseus. She's obviously done her research and has not only described the scenes but assessed the semiotic content of them.




(OOC: Because her mun's a geek like that.)

HOMEWORK [LATE]

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Comment here to hand in missing homework.

Re: HOMEWORK [LATE]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory turns in both homeowrk assignments, and wonders why she keeps missing them.

[ooc: possibly because her mun is incredibly scatterbrained. Sorry :(]

Re: HOMEWORK [LATE]

[sensethevisions]

*hands in her homework that she had missed*

Re: HOMEWORK [LATE]

[wraithbaitjohn.livejournal.com]

Hey! I turned in that late homework last time. (Before Beka and I got to playing Sims)

MAKE-UP CLASS

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Comment here to make up a class. You can only make up one class per day.

Re: MAKE-UP CLASS

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe comes in to make up a class. "Sorry, sir. Been a lot happening."

Re: MAKE-UP CLASS

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

It's quite all right, I understand completely. Just, er, open up your books and do your reading or something. I've got to grade the homework.

OH NOES!

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Comment here if I made a mistake :O

OTHER

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

Comment here if your comment has nothing to do with the above categories.

Re: OTHER

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

Warning. When Shep gets here, if he's in this class, I'm gonna kill him. Hate songs? You should yell at him for that. I'm you're favorite student. Right? *pouts*

Re: OTHER

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

After you kill him can I have his Sims?
