[Herodotus2010] Listen to the Herodotus Introduction online

[Marie Studer]

Hi all! 



I'm Marie Studer and I am the  Learning and Education G roup director  for the Encyclopedia of Life, an on-line resource that strives to be a "one-stop knowledge shop" of the latest scientific information about all life on Earth.  By making this information freely available to all, EOL hopes to energize the science of biology and make it engaging and available to people from all walks of life, all over the world.  I live and work in the  Boston, Massachusetts area.  I'm interested in this time period and learning about the evolution of modern day cultures, languages, thought  and perceptions of the world.  I especially like Herodotus' holistic approach to writing (i.e., the "digressions").   In my spare time I enjoy being active outside, cooking (and eating!)  and beekeeping. 



Looking forward to learning and being inspired by all of you! 

Marie

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.
