Alright #ClassicsTwitter friends, the thread you've all been waiting for.

Classical figures as Taylor Swift songs.

I include the lyrics that made me think of the character, and a link to the full song (1/) Sappho: Invisible

And you just see right through me but if you only knew me/We could be a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable/Instead of just invisible (2/) #ClassicsTwitter

My capital t Mandalorian Thoughts in this thread. SPOILERS (1/) #TheMandalorian Mando is a foundling, taken at a young age. He had a connection with the Force and didn't get trained so his connection faded (like Ahsoka said could happen to Baby Yoda) (2/4) #TheMandolorian spoilers

The final event of the day is the keynote address "Rediscovering our Humanity: Reading the Classics Behind Bars" by @RUClassics Dr. Emily Allen-Hornblower and Mr. Marquis McCray. Mr. McCray starts with the anecdote that this is the first time he has been in an academic setting since his release from prison a year ago. In his adolescence, he emulated what he knew--drugs, sex, etc. He did not know this at the time. #AncientAgency

For the past week or so, I have been searching through the History of Middle Earth for more information about Balrogs. Specifically, I want to know what they look like. The description in the Lord of the Rings is pretty vague #Tolkien #ClassicsTwitter (1/x) In The Fellowship of the Ring, the Balrog is described as “a dark form, of man-shape maybe, yet greater” (321). And yet this creature has some animalistic traits, including a “streaming mane” (321)...so, pretty vague. #Tolkien #ClassicsTwitter (2/x)

An attempted live tweet of @wmarybeard ‘s “What is Classics.” I apologize in advance for any typos #AIASCS #whatisclassics MB says she is honored to be asked to come despite the fact she may not always behave well. She starts by going back a century and a half for the first meetings of the APA #AIASCS
