firstlight | Link Dump: Classics and Other Madness

Not on my own computer + finding many interesting links while randomly browsing the internet = link dump!

1. The Mask of Agamemnon
Nothing like a good archaeological mud-throwing contest.

Introduction

Is the mask a hoax?

Insistent Questions

The case for Authenticity

Not a Forgery, how about a Pastiche?

Epilogue

-

Wikipedia.org article on the mask (includes image of the artifact); and some images of the other masks from the same period. Just so you can see the difference.
I always feel that the other masks rather resemble Gollum. I'm a bad, bad Liz.

2. Classical Play Texts Online
Because sometimes you need a quote in a hurry and your play texts are several hundred miles away. Look, I'm a geek, yes? I know.

Agamemnon by Aeschylus

Medea by Euripides

Iphigenia at Aulis by Euripides (not the translation I was after, but... I'm just being picky.)

Hippolytus by Euripides

Oedipus the King by Sophocles

Antigone by Sophocles

3. The Tantalus Cycle
Because modern retellings of ancient myths are love. Well, this one is, anyway.

Tantalus Production Scrapbook, with lots of neat info and some videos which I shall get around to watching sooner or later.

More may follow later. It's possible. It depends how much more I end up stumbling across at random.

ETA: Damn. I'm even listening to music inspired by Greek myths. Beyond help.
