So true. What makes us human is remarkably constant.

"The heightened energy of creative people working in proximity" is indeed a thing I can attest to in my own experience. When two or three people get together to make something HAPPEN, that is probably the most fun thing that happens at work.

It’s the best. It’s amazing how it multiplies thinking, enthusiasm, and potential.

Armand D’Angour is on Substack, 'Little Latin and More Greek'. I enjoy his insights into both languages.

Aiora Press, out of Athens, also has an innovative line of bilingual texts in the original Greek and English translation. I have their edition of Hippocrates' 'Aphorisims', the innovater of medicine. I love the opening line of the first apohrism:

"Life is short, the Art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment treacherous, judgement difficult."

I have a half-dozen from the series myself. Glad you called attention to the them. The farming one was a favorite (for personal reasons).

Cheers,

Brian

I’ve really enjoyed them. I’d say my favorite so far is the Cassian volume, How to Focus.
