shweet! I'm an okay writer but my spelling and punctuation is atrosous, so before submitting anything I'll edit it like crazy, but if the idea is used then you can expect one crazy-go-nuts article from this fuzzy.

How do you feel about writing reviews... we always need a few articles....

If your real good you may even get free stuff.

Ok thanks for the imput people.  I do think "classical Civilizations" is a good theme for next month but I do feel it's a little broad.  Shall we say nothing later then the roman or Bizantian empire?  Now can we get at least 3 articles on the subject?

TFO, you REALLY REALLY should go to the main page. Just click the banner at the top of the page, and look at the actual site content. Note the different departments and types of reviews and articles. Get a feel for it.

As for free stuff, note that very few people actually get free stuff.



Sprig, I dont' think anything later than the Byzantine Empire could be considered Classical anyway. I confess, however, to being a little dry on ideas for an article I'd contribute for it. I suppose I could revew the Iliad or the Odyssy or something.

Thats my problem too, I can't realy think of what to write either.  I probaly could do CIV 3 review.  That's why I want to know if we actualy could get enough reviews for that theme.  If not we'll have to come up with something else.

Well, you run the risk of being too narrow if you say only romans or only greeks.

But for 'classical' you could review...

Gladiator
Sparticus
Praetorians (PC game)
Aeneid, Odyssey, Illiad, any number of greek trajedies and the epic of Gilgamesh
Discussions on ancient greek philosophy
Articles on how you could roleplay in the time period
If i get my hands on some, i could review the warhammer ancient supplements for the period - there are several (Chariot wars, fall of the west, alexander the great).
Mummy, mummy 2, Scorpion king
Age of mythology (pc game)
etc

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Well the traditional realm of Classicism centers on the civilization of ancient Greece, Hellanism in Asia and the civilisation of Ancient Rome, and not generally Byzantium (sometimes its included, sometimes not.

I studied Medea in School last year, I could write something on that, if I can think of what. (For an essay I'd need to dig it out and read it again, and a review doesn't feel appropriate)
