The value of a table like this is to be able to see what is going on in many areas simultaneously, so to keep the table to reasonable proportions all events are tabulated in the nearest 5 year cell; actual date (if known) is given in brackets.  Innovations and developments in technology are very difficult to date accurately. Unless there is a date in brackets after such an entry, its position in the table should be regarded as approximate, indicating our earliest evidence of such a technology, rather than the date of its invention (which would be earlier).

To the ancient Greeks, every mystery in nature could be explained by the whims, passions and peculiarities of the gods. This episode features three favorite nature myths: - The Myth of Persephone, in which Hades, the god of the underworld, abducts the beautiful young Persephone, thereby plunging the earth into a permanent state of icy winter. It takes the great Zeus to negotiate a deal between Hades and Persephone's distraught mother, resulting in the arrival of spring, and the ongoing cycle of seasonal changes. - Echo & Narcissus, in which a talkative nymph loses her heart to the handsome Narcissus, only to discover the young man only has eyes for himself. - Helios, in which a brash young man named Phaethon borrows his father's sun chariot and finds out the hard way that pulling the sun across the sky each day is easier said than done.

The chariot race from BEN-HUR: A TALE OF THE CHRIST (1925), remains one of the most riveting pieces of cinema ever produced - so much so that it was used as a blueprint for the now better known one in the 1959 version. The 1925 version was first reissued to theaters in 1931 with a synchronized music and effects track - as can be heard in this excerpt. (fair use for educational and informational study)

With this site, you can create customized vocabulary lists for core lists, ancient texts, and textbooks. You can focus on a selection of a text and also customize your lists to exclude familiar vocabulary from textbooks that you have used, core lists you have mastered, and texts you have already read. These lists can then be filtered to focus on one or more parts of speech, among other options, and then printed or downloaded in a variety of formats.

The dictionary is about 39000 entries, as would be counted in an ordinary dictionary. This may generate many hundreds of thousands of 'words' that one can construct over all the declensions and conjugations. The point of this tool is to help in simple translations for a beginning Latin student or amateur.

A number of polyhedra made in various materials are known from the Roman world. They may have been used in conjunction with with an oracle inscribed on a pillar set up in a public place. The polyhedron was thrown in order to choose a letter at random. One consulted the inscription to find the matching letter and read the oracle's response. There would be twenty oracular messages, each beginning with a letter of the alphabet that corresponds to one side of the dice.

Ancient Greek Picture Dictionary - Read online for free. This is a highly first draft of a picture dictionary for ancient Greek. There are lots of features missing, which I do have locally but am not ready to share quite yet. The idea here is that one can create a visual tool for a language that has not traditionally had such tools. The other idea is that this tool can be made using authentic materials (i.e. pictures of locations and cultural artifacts that directly relate to ancient Greece).
