And quite sad
@Alerio @Daniel Turch @Deleted User You guys have all been verified. Welcome to ILC. If you have any questions, feel free to message me or one of our mods.
What book are we on?
Why We Fight
Where are we on it and when do we meet?
I read why we fight awhile back
@Deleted User feel free to join our discussion. I believe we are moving our discussion days to Monday, but we'll confirm that this weekend.
Sounds good
@Daniel Turch We'll be up to "Modernity" Sunday or Monday
Okay I'll try to catch up
@ANACHR0N1SM you're all set! Welcome to ILC.
We are allowed to post non-copyrighted PDF's and text links correct?
That is correct. So long as it's not copyrighted, you can post.
You have been warned
If you were ever interesting in learning Latin or Greek, here’s a bunch of resources
All public domain
If anyone wants help with Latin I can assist as well
@StrawberryArmada I’m a student of history but unfortunately have not had the luxury of going to a school with a good classics program. For simple biographies on Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, what books would you recommend? I’ve been scared to buy one and it end up being revised by modern (((academia)))
Hmm
Only works on Caesar I've read were actually his own but
Plutarch
Wrote a biography of Alexander
Naturally it isn't (((modified))) since its two thousand years old
Of course the biographers of Rome didn't have the archeological resources we do, but they lived closer to the time of Alexander
Plutarch also wrote a biography on Caesar
Which is excellent because he lived right after Caesar
You can find and read both of these for free probably
So you won't lose any money if you don't like them
Don't worry about classics degrees. I didn't even finish my tbh. If it were up to me all young gentlemen would receive a classical education as they did for the past few hundred years
If I find copies tomorrow I'll put them in history
@StrawberryArmada Thanks for the info. I’ve become more of a modern Europeanist. Currently starting a 30-50 page essay on Pan-European nationalism
I would recommend Mosley but
