What a pity Henze didn't expand it into an opera. Can you imagine the voices ... and the staging! Delicious.

Heliogabalus Imperator
A musical curiosity - an orchestral work from 1972 by the German composer Hans Werner Henze. Thanks to DD for passing over.

Carausius - First Emperor of Britain
There was a good piece, a couple of days ago in the Times, about the Frome Hoard and the Emperor Carausius (AD286-293), also known as the Squatter Emperor. Inevitably behind the firewall, Jack Malvern's piece has (thankfully) been reprinted in The Australian. Sam Moorhead is on fine form in the ...

Sapphogate - Day III
From crowd sourced grammar fixes to glowing media reports, we have been co-opted into a story profiting a person or persons unknown. #Sappho — Douglas Boin (@austin_hoya) February 5, 2014 Three days in and we haven't moved forward at all. Two new poems have appeared which are generally reckoned ...
Jennifer Matthews may well have been stupid but the link says she had been at Khost for two months. Was she truly responsible for nurturing this double agent? And did she or his handler allow him to pass the gate unsearched?

Try to send the right people.
"Then, in October 2010, the CIA released results of the agency’s internal investigation into the Khost attack, fueling another round of stories that Matthews was partially responsible. Matthews and her team, the report concluded, failed to follow the agency’s procedures for ve...

Thanks for posting such a good photograph. Now that I can see the lions (or are they panthers?) drinking from the vase at the very bottom centre, I am reminded of the famous panther-handled marble vase found at Petra: Petra"Lost City of Stone. I would not be surprised if the image originated somewhere far to the east, however; perhaps Persia? Do you happen to know more about it?

Graham's Clytemnestra was the first ballet of any kind that I had ever seen (if you don't count Esther Williams or the Rockettes) and it set me on a life-long love of contemporary dance. [Maybe it set the stage, too, for my future in archaeology; who knows?] I still remember the tremendous passion you describe. Thanks for bringing it all back so vividly.
