| I thought they were competent, and I enjoyed the guessing game of figuring out what is established early and comes back in the climax, but it didn't bring much new to the table. | |

Therefore, if there is a "why" such that "why -v", then there is a "why" such that "why not +v". QED | |

| tl;dr: nbd but it's a good read and I recommend it.
I'm in my first semester as a history major, and it seems pretty obscure? Though I'm not focusing on Roman Antiquity so my perception may be skewed. It's basically Catiline arguing that Eutropius is unfit to hold a consulship because he's a eunuch/former slave/general bad influence. (At one point he compares Eutropius to an old dog who is set free because he's not useful to his owner anymore, hence the association.)
I'm analyzing it from a gender/sexuality perspective for my History of European Sexuality class, and it's kind of a fun read. There's a translation of it here if you are interested: http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Claudian/In_Eutropium/1*.html
Also if you ever want to talk gender/sexuality/social class in Rome, that would be fun? | |

| Have you read Catullus 16? It's difficult to translate. When it comes to homophobic slurs, it's difficult to capture all the nuances of contempt and obscenity while also capturing the informal but confrontational tone of the poem. I also take lines 7-11 as a criticism of neglectful parenting, an insult to his readership (and my extension, himself), and as additional shock humor. | |

| Not yet. I expect it will come up in my remaining Latin classes. That's interesting, though, because Rome didn't have hetero/homosexuality (and therefore homophobia) as we think of it. Though such behavior has pretty much always existed, discourses of sexuality as a "personality trait" only date back to about the 19th century. Is it talking about just MSM/WSW or does social status come into it? | |

| It wasn't so much men penetrating men that was stigmatized, as it was being a man and getting penetrated. | |

| The Alex was irritating but kind of sweet. The Alek would behave acceptably toward you; his behavior toward me was due, as he told me, to Women Being Inferior. Respond however you would like. I doubt I will be bothered. | |

| If you're talking about the American Bison, they're not extinct but they were hunted to endangerment by people who didn't eat them.
I do love me a good bison burger, though. | |
