Ancient Greeks Tour Schedule
Posted by admin in Schedules and Updates on January 3, 2011
The button for the Ancient Greeks Tour is a statue of Achilles’ last stand. I personally find Achilles as portrayed in The Iliad very fascinating, so I’m glad that folks on twitter seemed to like this picture best! This statue stands in Hyde Park in London and is dedicated by King George III to the Duke of Wellington for victorious battles. The picture was taken by flickr user swanksalot (Seth Anderson) and is used under creative Common License with attribution.
I’m really excited to read everyone’s posts about the classics Greek works, most of which I personally have not read yet. Below is the current schedule.

Land of the Rising Sun: Meiji-era Japanese Classics
Posted by admin in Schedules and Updates on October 11, 2010
Our Meiji-era Japanese classics tour will run from November 1 until November 5.
The button from the tour comes from a 1898 photograph by T. Emani, a respected Meiji-era photographer. Mount Fuji is in the distance. Apparently, this spot is today the center of a busy interstate, convenience stores, and car dealerships. It reminds us of the different era that was Meiji Japan. For more information on the picture, see Okinawa Soba’s photostream on flickr.
Below is the schedule for this tour. I look forward to learning more from you, as there are a variety of works represented. I hope you too enjoy following the tour.
If you are coming here late and would like to add your name to the schedule or if you think there is an error below, please send me an email at rebecca[at]rebeccareid[dot]com and I will fix it.
