Female epigram writers and River Tam (sadly, not)

Our abstract for a Firefly collection was turned down (a colleague and I submitted one on sacrificial virgins, Iphigenia, and River Tam), so it's back to work in Classics.  I've submitted another abstract on female epigram-writers in antiquity; we'll see if it flies.  Meanwhile, my research files are in spectacularly good shape, and I have ported all my old Filemaker databases into .csv files so that I can actually get at the information contained therein, for the first time in several years. This might be procrastination except that it was possible that I actually needed it for the epigram abstract.  (I admit that once the work was done, I didn't find anything useful.)

Tomorrow: BC Election, and reading Iphigenia at Aulis, for a Sacrificial Virgin article.  (Another one).  Wednesday: Teaching "Cleopatra the Hellenistic Monarch" to an audience of 12 year olds.  And contemplating Alice Oswald, again, at last.  I shall begin, I think, by rereading my notes, and this blog.
