[Noisebridge-discuss] ?How not to crash at noisebridge

[Liz Henry]

I would like to encourage much more of a classicist tone at Noisebridge.
Seneca is good, and Cicero if you go for that sort of thing.  My son enjoys
the homilies of Horace. But if you want a more adventurous tale, start with
The Odyssey or Apollonius of Rhodes' Voyage of the Argo.  For dirty
translation hijinks many classicists enjoy poems by Catullus - always fun!
