[Herodotus2010] Listen to the Herodotus Introduction online

[Tom Adams]

My name is Tom Adams and I work for the California Department of Education in the areas of standards, curriculum, and instructional materials. My fascination with ancient Greece goes back to childhood and it was reborn when my daughter started to read the Percy Jackson series. She has continued on to other reading adventures but I am remain fascinated with the Greeks. I have tried reading Herodotus before but quickly got lost and confused. I look forward to obtaining inspiration from my fellow readers and to enjoying their insights.

My name is Gabby Hon and I'm an independent User Experience Consultant in Chicago -- basically, this means that I do my utmost to make online experiences useful and usable for people.

I'm currently doing a distance learning course in Latin (using Wheelock) via the University of Alaska--Fairbanks. I've previously studied both Latin and Ancient Greek but never for a grade. I'm entertaining the notion of getting my MA, Classics online from the University of Florida at some point in the future.

When I'm not being a closet Classicist, I travel as much as I can and futz about with my new DSLR which has a bunch of whiz-bang features and a really thick manual.

Cheers,
Gabby

I read a pretty random mix of non-fiction and fiction. Some years ago I started adding classical authors to the mix. Having since then done Aristotle and Xenophon with the Reading Odyssey, it's clearly an advantage to read these with a group, not to mention an expert.
