Eryximachus is ready to do both, and after prescribing for the hiccough, speaks as follows. This lecture focuses specifically on the speech made by Aristophanes. The turn of Aristophanes comes next but he has the hiccough, and therefore proposes that Eryximachus the physician shall cure him or speak in his turn. This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Symposium, one of the great works of literature from the ancient world, focused on the nature of love. One anomaly bears mention, however: although the articles by David Sedley and by Richard Kraut are of independent importance and to be recommended to the attention of all Plato scholars, they are only tangentially related to the Symposium. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Adios, Barbie by Ophira Edut![]() ![]() ![]() Lounge Chair, Model LCW, Bequest of William F. ![]() The simple plywood chair profoundly impacted 20 th century American furniture design.

You would look at it, and it would look back at you because rather prominently on its head there would be two eyes. And those legs are jointed like the legs of a crab or a lobster. And as you looked at it, it would probably be crawling along, because underneath the carapace, which is the part you usually get preserved as fossils, there are lots of little legs. And it would be divided along its length into three lobes, hence its name. Fortey says trilobites were prehistoric beetles, and compared to the beetles of today they were large.įORTEY: Well, you'd notice something that was probably about as big as the palm of your hand, with a hard shell. And in homage to the creature he's devoted his life's work to, he's written a book called Trilobite: Eyewitness to Evolution. Richard Fortey is a senior paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London. These comparatively small fossilized animals offer a more complete panorama of the prehistoric world than the mega-beasts and go back even further in time. Richard Fortey's passion is the trilobite. CURWOOD: Think of fossils and you'll likely think of dinosaurs, unless you're a kindred spirit of Richard Fortey. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments The aeneid![]() ![]() Lavinia is the daughter of King Latinus, the king of Latium in Italy, and the ultimate destination of Aeneas and the Aeneid’s narrative.
