I should be grading papers and writing student comments, but I'm
sifting through my ancient languages texts from my time at Wofford
College instead.

I came across this seemingly trivial letter from around 1999 when I
was the only person foolish enough to be taking Prof Mount's Attic
Greek 4 class.

We met over lunch a couple of times a week and read / discussed
obscure Greek texts from the period before Alexander. Lots of Plato,
Arschylus and Euripides.

I can't believe I got credit for such an experience.

Anyway, this note brought back memories of long nights struggling over
Hesiod (before the age when you could just google translations... Not
that I would have anyway) and involved conversations between a wise
Glaucon and a young fool.

Here's to the persistence of memory.
