Ancient

[close] This reading group will explore the Greek and Roman world surrounding the Mediterranean from about 1500 BCE to about 500 CE. It will focus on works covering time periods, places, people, games, food, geography, literature, navigation, warfare, art, architecture, science, poetry, drama, epics, trade, languages, mythology, archaeology, religion and much more. We may also extend our discussions into surrounding cultures and their past, e.g. the Minoans, Egypt, Persia and other cultures depending on circumstances and desire. These works will be selected by active members through monthly polls. Hopefully this journey will be both enriching and strongly inspired by the ancient muses. My bookshelves are piling up with books focused on classical studies so this group is an incentive to wander down those paths.

The fierce Amazonian women warriors and their neighbors, the mighty Gargarean men, have been here for generations. They have adapted, and somehow managed to make a sort of civilization. They aren't what you would call civilized, but that's how you survive here. You don't give up, and you learn to adapt. You fight. "Шε λгε τнε Gλгɢλгελπs."
