3/26: today's reading

Lots of bureaucratic bits to push around these days, but to balance it out there are books to read and mull over as part of prepping my classes.  Today's work included:
- translating some of Plato's Symposium and thinking about how the imperfect tense was being used,
- reading Euripides' Hippolytus for Myth class and looking up the phrase our translator rendered as "vegetarianism"--the Greek literally talks about "un-souled food,"
and
- working through more of Tracy Barrett's Dark of the Moon with its re-imagining of ancient Crete.
