Literary translation builds bridges, yoking scholarship and creative writing as well as the classroom and the world at large. It is a scholarly tool crucial to the expansion, survival, and relevance of the field, while also being a literary pursuit in its own right. Literary translation can transcend the confines of the academy in a way that traditional scholarship cannot, nurturing important acts of literary and artistic reception that open Classics up in relevant ways to new spaces and communities.

In 1793, a Catalan Jesuit, José Manuel Peramás, living out his exile in the Papal States of Italy published a detailed treatise in Latin about life in the Guaraní Republic of Paraguay, where he had lived decades before. His audience was made up, primarily, of well-educated Europeans in a variety of nations for whom Paraguay was a distant and fantastical land – belonging perhaps more to the realm of the imaginary than anywhere else.

This paper serves as an author’s commentary and a creative deconstruction of my recently published project re-translating Sappho’s “Brothers Poem” into the context of Victorian English epistolary, examining both the scholarly sources that I used to craft my poem and the theoretical landscape of poetic and geographic spaces that lie beneath my literary production.

Smallness is a feature of my work as a translator in how I use the physical space of a page, how I conceive of a translation in relation to the original text, and in my choice of texts to translate.

Since I first began work at the Perseus Digital Library (Perseus) in 2004, I have participated in a slow but steady movement of scholars and librarians to push both Greco-Roman materials specifically and the humanities in general towards greater open access. Perseus was at the forefront of this movement. In 2005, Perseus made its first great step towards open access by making the large majority of its TEI-XML texts (These texts were all released under a Creative Commons ShareAlike license.

This paper, informed by over 16 years of our work supporting research data management in archaeology, describes the need to provision professional services that cross-cut institutional boundaries. If our vision is to make the communication and reuse of research data a more normal and integral aspect of archaeological practice, several needs must be addressed.

After spending 35 years fostering my own understanding of the Greek language, I want to pass on my skills and experience to the next generation. Yet the methods commonly used today to teach Latin and Greek differ little from those of a century and more ago: you must memorize vocabulary and paradigms for a year before you can read anything resembling original texts. Rejecting that model as antiquated and exclusionary, I have reimagined a beginning Greek language course using 21^st century tools.

Since 2019, the Pompeii Artistic Landscape Project (PALP) has worked to create an online resource, using Linked Open Data practices and formats, to encourage sitewide discovery, mapping, analysis, as well as sharing of information about Pompeian artworks in their architectural contexts.

Archaeologists have frequently looked to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to help them organize, manipulate, and theorize datasets. This relationship has seemed natural because both STEM disciplines and archaeology produce statistics, measurements, and objects—in short, data—that can be quantitatively analyzed.
