10/27: comparing

...the Infancy Gospel of Thomas with the Homeric Hymn to Hermes in Greek class today.  I love both texts, and I was excited earlier in the semester when I thought of doing this comparison/contrast exercise with the students as a way of wrapping up the IGT.  They did a really nice job of thinking about both narratives, and it was a good way to say farewell-for-now to the IGT.  It has been such a pleasure to have it as part of my Tuesdays and Thursdays for the past 8 weeks.
