I was asked to contribute to a conference last week in Peru, on Thucydides and Athenian Democracy, and so have recorded my first video lecture; as it had to be loaded onto YouTube anyway for them to view it, it makes sense to make it more widely available now. Well, except for the fact that it’s rather long and rather dull; since it’s the first time I’ve used the software, I was so worried about getting it right that I lost track of time, and the tech people felt it would be better if they did the editing so I haven’t been able to weed out the more tedious and repetitive bits. If I had my time over again I’d probably have more of me and less of the Powerpoint slides, just for a bit of variety. Anyway, if you’ve nothing better to do for half an hour, this offers a sort of introduction to some of the things we’ve been doing on the Reception of Thucydides project…
