Hello, I’m James, just joined. I’ve been interested in the Ancient Greeks since I was a child, my favorite book was Guirand’s World Mythology Larrousse. And then moved on to Plato and, principally, Socrates and the Socratics in my teens, more recently the Stoics, but not even vaguely the pop version. More Jonnny Christensen than Ryan Holladay. Initially trained as an engineer, but my university background is in French, Russian, and linguistics, my Greek is worse than my Russian, and my Russian is pretty bad. My French is pretty good and I’m very interested in semantics, semiotics, and hermeneutics. My big thing is that we are not using the right words in English to engage with the ancient Greeks, so we have to work out what the ancient Greeks were saying in ancient Greek. I have a sizeable Facebook group and a blog: > **[All Articles and Essays – Living Stoicism](https://livingstoicism.com/posts/)** > > Articles and essays on Stoic philosophy, physics, ethics, and close readings of Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and the wider Stoic tradition. I’m also working on Eulogikon: > **[Eulogikon - Ancient Greek Texts and Books](https://eulogikon.org/)** > > Eulogikon: 4,060 ancient Greek texts by 1,359 authors. Free, open library — read online on any device or download as PDFs, no login, no fees That’s currently version one, with version two on its way. Trying not to get sidetracked into philology and morphology (which is all the rage at the moment) this is more the stuff that I’m interested in pursuing. And the text and the rest of it is a tool that serves these ends It would be good to connect with other people interested in the same areas, and to share ideas and resources. ---

I’m a Catholic with a strong interest in biblical studies, theology, early Church history, and Christian apologetics. I’m especially interested in digging into the original Hebrew and Greek texts, examining different interpretations, and testing theological claims against Scripture and historical evidence. Looking forward to exchanging ideas, learning from others, and having some great conversations! ---

Hi, my name is Juan. I’m a mathematics student from Argentina, and I’m very interested in Ancient Greek. I’ve studied some Attic Greek, but recently I’ve put it aside in order to study the Homeric dialect, for reading Homer is right now my main goal. When one has no contact with classical languages at university and lives in a working class area of what still is a third world country, it’s hard to get to know people who are interested in Ancient Greek. My somewhat light and introverted disposition does not help either when it comes to socialize. I find myself in little lonely situation, for none of my few friends are into these kind of subjects. Anyway, I’m studying with both Pharr’s book and Schoder and Horrigan’s book, and I would like to study Latin at some point, maybe when I will be able to read Homer with ease. ---
