Ok, our next interviewee is someone who has likely been here much longer than you

Anomander

Question #1 for Ano: you old enough to drink yet?

Calot and LooseCannon yes, who was Azhar?

And yeah, I'm more nooby than Anomander, since he was here before me.

Oh, and I'd interview Anomander Rake in a heartbeat, if I believed he'd participate.

I look forward to the day, many years from now, when I can sit in a rocking chair on the porch polishing my shotgun and glaring at passers-by.

But for now

MTS, English and Classics? Posted Image

That's really great, my sister is going for a PhD in that area (very Greek-centric).

And I commiserate with you're difficulties in writing. I tried to imitate my sister and father growing up (both prolific writers, unpublished unfortunately), but I can't write myself out of a wet paper bag (let alone speak eloquently, sad to say since I can't compensate with good writing...).

So just out of curiosity, any particular focus in classics (if I'm not being to nosy).

Not at all. Mostly Roman and Hellenistic history along with some Latin literature, although I have dabbled in some Greek history. I'm doing a course on the Hellinstic kingdoms and the rise of Rome at the moment, for instance.
