It is that time of year. Once again I want to highlight some of the favorite things I wrote this year (last year’s list). I will probably publish a few more posts before the end of the year, including starting my end of year reflection posts. These are not necessarily the best or the best-trafficked, but rather things I wrote that I look back on fondly and think are worth revisiting.
First, I wrote more about the ancient world than I have in past years. A few highlights:
Class Warfare in fifth century Ionia
Isocrates, on the importance of history and oratory
Herodotus on rejecting the expertise of physicians
More Political Wisdom from Ancient Greece
Isocrates, on Corrupt Politicians
Did Alexander the Great suffer from CTE?
Second, three posts about contemporary events:
Finally, two posts about books:
Between this blog and my academic projects, 2017 was good year for my writing. I would still like to engage more with current events, but the problem with this goal is that it would require writing on demand which, at least in the past, has not been my strong suit.
