- About My Library
- I especially like buying ancient Greek texts and translations. At the moment I've mainly catalogued my Greek and Roman books, though I'm adding new books in all subjects as I buy them. I am also going to tag the books I read each year, though tag them as NIML (not in my library), if necessary.
- About Me
- I am interested in ancient Greek culture, and particularly like reading ancient Greek. My current project is to translate The Iliad. I'm aiming to stick to the lines of the original, to keep close to Greek forms of names, to respect formulas and repetitions, and to be fairly consistent in translations of individual words. As Logue would have it - I've joined the ranks of "the hopelessly insane". Apart from spending time on my translation, I also work at our local Oxfam Bookshop. I list and describe books for our on-line sales and I also work on sorting, pricing and displaying books about history including the ancient world, and collectable books.
