[Herodotus2010] Herodotus call reminder

[Andre Stipanovic]

Dear fellow readers of Herodotus,
This is just a reminder that our introductory call is scheduled for Monday
October 11 @8pm Eastern Standard Time.  Bruce Upbin and I will be
moderating.  The purpose of this call is to prepare the groundwork for
your reading of Herodotus’ Histories.  In order for that to be
successful and enjoyable for you, we plan to cover numerous items
including:
	-how we run a conference call and our use of discussion questions
	-an overview of the Landmark Herodotus and its helpful reading features
(based on pp. xxxvii-xlviii, Editor’s 
		Preface by Robert Strassler)
	-an overview of the Introduction to Herodotus and his own times (based on
pp. ix-xxxvi, Introduction by 
		Rosalind Thomas)
	-Herodotus’ own Introduction to Book I (pp. 3-6)
-preview of Book I (pp. li-liii)
Please note that the nature of this call is more information-based than
usual and is not typical of our normal conference calls in which
discussion by group members is our primary object.  
Please note also the following updated call-in information printed below,
especially for those of you calling in from abroad.
Looking forward to our call together,
Andre
