The Loeb Classical Library celebrates 100 years this year. You can read all about the history of this monumental series over at Wikipedia. But even better, you can start reading the classics themselves thanks to a cool site that has streamlined digital access to these wonderful books.
Also, you can share your love of Loebs in a new-ish Flickr group for folks who love the series.
There is lots of amazing work going on all the time to preserve and share these ancient texts– and more discoveries to be made! Here is William Noel from the Walters Museum of Art in a recent TED Talk about revealing Archimedes. PS, thanks TED people for getting a recording out shortly after it was actually made!
Been lurking for a while and thought I should let you know your blog is great. Keep it up.
