blogographos is a public blog to which anyone interested in Greek and Roman antiquity may post. This means interested laymen as well as professional classicists and students. This blog is not intended as a challenge to the resources for classicists currently available--chief among them the Classical Greek and Latin Discussion Group, hosted at the University of Kentucky, and David Meadows's rogueclassicism--but rather as a complement.

How do I post to blogographos? Register at blogographos using the form in the sidebar. Once your registration is complete, open the blogthis window to begin a post.
But what to post? Here are some possibilities: interesting links, reviews of classics-related media, book announcements, questions, amusing anecdotes of a classical nature, suggestions about improving the blog, and so on. Try to keep things intelligent and properly spelt.
Comportment. Spam and other inappropriate material--as determined solely by the Autokrator--will be deleted from blogographos forthwith.

Textile Research Centre
Probably few list members know of the TRC in Leiden, The Netherlands, so a post announcing their Annual Report for 2006 may be in order. While the general public -- incl. BBC world news -- got excited at their acquisition and display of a white silk burqa designed by the Italian fashion designer Gabriella Ghidoni ('a disgrace' according to some), archaeologists and classicists might notice:
1. Projected reconstruction of the garments from the late-1st C BC Tillia Tepe tombs in northern Afghanistan, otherwise famous for the huge quantity of 'Bactrian Gold' jewellery (now being shown at the Musee Guimet in Paris, but due for an American tour in 2008). Also found in the tombs were thousands of small gold plaques which had originally been sewn onto the deceased clothes and remains of the texiles themselves.
2. The current work being done on ancient Egyptian textiles, and especially a structural, weave, and fibre analysis of textile remnants.

The Neaira Video
Update: There's a crisper version of the video available here, but it will take a bit longer to load. (Thanks for the response, Judith!)
The book as video
I am filled with admiration. There were some blurry images and hiccups in the sound, but that may be my old computer. Oddly enough, when viewing a second time, the screen suddenly went dead, taking with it Firefox and all its works. Sexual censorship on You-tube? Naturally, I am wondering how to make a video of Chronicle of Zenobia, not that I'm brave enough to try it yet. I'm still working on the new blog (Empress of the East)-- of which which, come to think of it, you are the godmother.

Trying Neaira: The Book as Video
It was my intention to throw together a quick video about my book, Trying Neaira. And so have I done. The problem is that while it may look in its final form indeed "thrown together," it in fact too me a good long while to put this not quite four-minute-long video together. Suffice it to say that I have increased respect for the likes of Ken Burns right now. Anyway, here it is, the book as video:
