Visualizing Antiquity: the volume

Deutsch: Reliefs der tanzenden Nympfen (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Today I packaged up and sent off ten of the 18 promised articles for the "Visualizing Antiquity" volume of Mouseion.  (Five authors asked for more time; three have dropped off the map.) And wrote to the three authors I haven't heard from. I'm not sure that this counts as "research" mind you; it's more "filing".  Since one's brain does not engage with content, or at any rate, mine certainly hasn't.  Time enough for that when I have to write the introduction.   Still, it is an item on the to-do list, checked off.

I've been spending some time in the last week working on the not-yet-quite-ready-for-prime-time Myth on the Map project, to get it into shape before the conference next month.  So far I have done some checking of events and characters, and figuring out of what needs to go in the introduction.  And some vague thoughts about what needs to go on the poster, how many backup singers I need for the tutorial video, whether I can get Kickstarter funding (sure I could! Absolutely!  Who wouldn't want to donate to such a wonderful project! Money will fall from the sky!)  And then I wake up with a start.
