It is the 20th anniversary of Stone's movie later this year and I was hoping to do something in the forum to mark it. Yes, there is a s...

Re: Pothos now inherited by Alexias and on a new server.
Ah, thanks! Yes, I have been an Alexander fan since I first read Mary Renault. but until the internet came along the only sources of information were the local library and, later, the occasional books I could find and buy. I have learnt so much since the internet came along!

Re: New pages

Heckel's Who's Who, which you can downlo...

Certainly will, thank you. I'm playing about with some add-on modules to the board at the moment to enhance what options are available.

Re: The Oasis at Siwah
The warm temperature is constant but feels different from a cold hand at midnight than to a warm/hot one in the afternoon. That sounds a reasonable explanation, and welcome! Though possibly the water may heat up during the day with the sun. Water retains heat longer than the ground so it may be sti...

We now have plenty of space on the new host, so I may upload some translations, photos. The main pages of the site really need updating as well, so...
