Firefighters have been battling fires throughout Attica, including near Marathon and Rhamnous. May the gain the upper hand soon.
UPDATE: According to the latest reports, the fires are being contained and so far have not caused any loss [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just discovered (via rogueclassicism) this article in the New York Times on a visit to the site of ancient Troy.

As it happened, our two-week visit to Turkey afforded a perfect moment to indulge our Homeric idÃ©e fixe. The trek north on Turkeyâ€™s west coast permitted a brief Trojan fly-by during the drive from Pergamum [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The BBC has a nifty slide show documenting the very cool hi-tech cleaning of the Parthenon Marbles in Athens, which has removed decades of pollution.

Since the damage to the Athenian reliefs turned out to be less severe than previously thought, the cleaning has fueled the debate over whether the rest of the marbles, (in)famously known [...]]]></description>

No word on whether that inveterate Herodotus-hater Plutarch, author of &#8220;On the Malice of Herodotus&#8221;, was available for comment.

		<description><![CDATA[The end of Plato&#8217;s Phaedo gives a detailed account of Socrates&#8217; slow, dignified death by hemlock. Many scholars, however, have rejected Plato&#8217;s account, believing that Plato&#8217;s version omits the harsh details of the violent death associated with hemlock poisoning. The controversy, however, seems to have been settled by Enid Bloch who, through a thorough investigation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Modern science weighs in on the old debate about which disease afflicted the Athenians at the start of the Peloponnesian War. DNA tests on material extracted from skeletons found in a mass grave dating to 430 BCE point to&#8230; Typhoid Fever.
From the Journal of Infectious Diseases:
BACKGROUND: Until now, in the absence of direct microbiological evidence, [...]]]></description>

Producers of the Jean-Paul Sartre play &#8220;The Flies&#8221; at Brown University will subject the audience to 40,000 fruit flies to bring to life the existentialist work about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michael Gilleland at Laudator Temporis Acti posts several translations of Homer&#8217;s meditation on the vicissitudes of life in Odyssey 18.130-137. Among other insights, we can see how true Richard Bentley&#8217;s comment on Pope&#8217;s Iliad is: &#8220;it is a pretty poem, Mr. Pope, but you must not call it Homer.&#8221;
Homer, Odyssey 18.130-137 (tr. Richmond Lattimore):
