  • Well, I got thoroughly lost in here, ended up pondering uses for Archimedes' claw. I've bookmarked it. Thanks, Medusa.
  • I'm quite the frustrated amateur classicist (largely based on watching 'I, Claudius' at an impressionable age), so I'll enjoy this. Must say that statue in your third link looks nothing like Brian Blessed though.
  • Much to explore here and even some games to be had. Ta, Medusa!
  • Cool. cool stuff! Reminds me of the day I spent in the Ancient Greek section of the british Museum, squeeing like a Minoan fangirl. Bookmarked for much later exploration.
  • *drools*
  • Indeed, Medusa!! Much to see. Just what I needed to wile away the hours. Will bookmark.
  • perfect GramMa! I hope the hours of hot historical action will dim the pain and boredom of recovery for you :D
