Post by Rich AldersonWrong meaning of "Classics". This newsgroup is devoted to the academic
field (now often decried) which studies the languages and culture(s) of
the speakers of Latin and Ancient Greek.
Thanks for the heads up. I found this also:
humanities.classics is an unmoderated newsgroup which passed its vote for
creation by 170:37 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 5 Oct 1996.
This group supersedes sci.classics.
For your newsgroups file:
humanities.classics Discussion of ancient Greece and Rome.
The charter, culled from the vote result announcement:
For discussion of Classical Studies, especially, but not exclusively, the
study of Classical Greek and Roman culture, languages, history, and art.
Commercial posts unrelated to the field, flames, and spams are
discouraged, unless in Latin or Greek. Binary posts are prohibited.
