[Herodotus2010] Listen to the Herodotus Introduction online

[jeffstehle at comcast.net]

Hi. 

My name is Jeff Stehle. I live near Detroit, Michigan. I feel like the odd-man-out in this group as I am a letter carrier with no degrees or college background. However, I have been a fan of ancient Greek history since first reading The Odyssey back in high school many,many,many years ago. Just this past month, I fulfilled a life long dream by taking a three week trip to Greece and Turkey. I love to travel, having been to 49 of the 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces. I am in the process of writing a blog of my recent trip for celebrategreece.com. Other than that, my hobbies include photography and geneaology. I have read Herodotus twice and look forward to reading it a third time with a group.

Dear readers, 
Thanks for your participation and questions last night during our kickoff call.  If you would like to listen to it, please go to: 
http://showsupport.typepad.com/odyssey/2010/10/herodotus-introduction-october-2010-audio-recording.html 

I am attaching some follow up information in response to your questions last night.  I hope it will help you get started in Book I.  I will be sending out more specific study guide questions, which we will use as discussion anchor points, in the next week or so.   

Glad to "meet" you all.  If you would like to "introduce" yourself to the rest of the group, please 'reply to all' and say a few things about yourself.  I will start the ball rolling: 

I am Andre Stipanovic from Plano, Texas.  I teach high school Latin language and literature at the Hockaday School in Dallas.  When I am not reading Roman or Greek literature, I love to ride bikes with my family, go camping/hiking, and play games (especially chess).  Newest hobby:  watching Jupiter these last few weeks through a telescope.
